Why, when we can all park on Mr Sheard's front for free ?

At one time there used to be bus services to and from BP on match days but it finished because there was no demand for it, just like there is no demand for bike parking in people’s front yards.

So many supporters come from a fair distance especially as the council has busily encouraged new houses out of town for years now. Very few people around BP were in their homes in those days, they all bought them knowing that the streets round there are choked every night not just on match days but of course the gates were low. Now there are more fans and there are more cars.  So in the end, sorry but I can have little sympathy for Mr S. .

My sister who started going late 60s(?) said there used to be hundreds of bikes just left on the ground outside the ground. None were locked because they were all the same and everyone had one.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.

There are always traffic wardens around here on match day..
Like I've said before the ground was here before anyone that lives around here.
I suggest if they dont like it flipping move 👍


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Yep. It was an edge of town development. Think as far as Neville Street might have been built at that point. The rest of the area was open fields - according to Bob Lincoln, the board considered a proposal of buying all the available land up to have a cricket pitch, tennis courts etc. to turn it into a multi-sports complex. Had they accepted the proposal we'd have had enough room to build a swanky new stadium with parking.

My Dad lived in a house on one of the streets near the ground during the 50s (Tiverton Street, perhaps - can't remember which one) and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about people paying to leave their bikes in the front yard during a game!

Yeah, someone else said that. Her and her mates used to turn up well into the first half and just leave their bikes with hundreds of others outside and get in for nowt or next to nowt.

Quoted from realist
There was talk of it being around £10. I think that is sufficiently high to make people park close by and walk. I don't blame them either as it is expensive enough as it is for a game. I think these ventures should be forced to give free parking.


Probably the best compromise is to give STH a parking permit of the season for say £40.

I for one would not renew my season ticket if parking was over £5.
