And how come its not in use anymore? I'm a tad on the right side of 30 so have never seen it in use but surely their must be a way of getting it used for when we have big away followings coming to town. Imagine how much easier it would be to escort big followings straight down one road into the ground.

Newcastle for example

Why isn't it used for away supporters on Saturdays? You'll have to ask National Rail / East Midlands Trains / Transpennine Express / British Transport Police. gary jones

TPE trains have never stopped at New Clee. It's just the Northern, Cleethorpes to Barton train that stops at New Clee and Grimsby Docks, but both are request stops. As has been mentioned though, it has been used in the past for the larger away followings we had but that was way back in the 80's early 90's I think.

Surely it would make so much sense if for example we play Sheffield United that special trains get put on and stop at this station. Close the back road off, keep home fans away and walk the away fans down to the ground. Simple.

Not sure but I don’t even think the Barton trains stop there now in the evenings once the clocks have gone back.

I bet there isnt much in it distance wise either from Cleethorpes station if you took the prom and Fuller St route. 2023/24 DLWDDWDLLLWDLLLLWDDDWDLLWLDLLDWDDWLLDWLWLW 2022/23LDWDWWDWLLDWWDLLLDLWLLWLWLLWDDLDWWDDDLLWDWLWLW 2021/22 WDWWWWDLWWWWLLLWLLDLWLLWWDWWWLWDLWWDWWWDLWD play offs WWW Promoted 🥳 2020/21  LLDWWLDLDWLWLLLDLWLLDLLDLLLWLLLDDDDWDDDLWLWLWL .. hello darkness my old friend 2019/20  WDLDWWLDLWWLLLDLDLDLDDWWDLLWDDWWL WLLW - ended 2018/19  LWDDLLLLLLWWDWLLLWDWLWWWWLLLLWWWWDLLLDDLLDLWLW Hello Scunny
