Quoted from Mallyner
I love Blundell Park and I have been going there for just over 60 years now.

However, with the advent of the 2 car household, it has become necessary to park far further away and of course things such as the toilet facilities are not good.

However, looking at the attendance at Colchester the other night and the record of other clubs with new grounds, such as when Darlo got one; a new one will not guarantee bigger gates and some success will need to be involved.

I suppose though that revenue from other things that can't be housed at Blundell Park, will benefit the club. But how much money have we paid consultants over the years and why the hell is everything so slow?


Will it?

I've asked this question many times and cannot remember a definitive answer, if the ground is owned by the Council will not any revenue that is generated apart from directly due to the club go to the Council?

"The council are now undertaking studies to ensure that when they do recommend a site"


It was NELC that suggested Great Coates, and then insisted on an independent survey to ascertain which would be the best location for a new stadium, which was done at GTFC's expense.
It was NELC that suggested Peakes Parkway. Now they want another survey done to find the best site. How many times is GTFC going to pushed about from site to site.

I don't know a great deal about this stadium malarkey, but I was out of curiosity driving around comber place/ high rise flats area the other day and thought to myself how big of a land mass that it would be to have a stadium there, and a pro being that it'd definitely give the rejuvenation that the area needs. Although somebody on here may already know the goings on with that land already?

I've been recently to both Rotherhams and Doncasters new stadiums and for me although Rotherhams at 12,000 is 3000 short of the Keepmoats capacity it still looks miles better and visually bigger. The keepmoat is quite mundane same size concrete bowl whereas the New York loos impressive from the outside as it has smaller stands sweeping round to a larger home side stand .Also it is steeper meaning you appear closer to the pitch. It's a shame that a town the size of ours has been held back from progressing this for so long but we don't appear to have anyone with the vision to take the town as a whole forward. Also we don't want an out of town stadium that's out of footfall to the fans who decide to go last minute.Get it on the Parkway with facilities that make a day out for the whole family.

In this dream is it still Conoco or has the dream caught up with global rebranding and become Phillips 66 ?

Aaaah, but none of them have wooden stands. Doubt they have Archibald Leitch rooves on the stand either!


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Got to say that all the new grounds that i have been to the Rotherham ' New York Stadium' takes some beating, for me that would suit GTFC to a tee.  http://www.tothe92.co.uk/groundguide/rotherham.html
