Give the contract to Extreme again. I’m sure a massive company like ‘Extreme’ could overcome the small problem of the tides etc.
I guess they’d just change the orbit of the moon slightly. Surely with all the resources they have at their disposal it would only take a couple of weeks at most 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

That model indicates that the stadium would be built straight opposite the ice factory,  which I believe is intended to be redeveloped into something similar to the Printworks in Manchester, and would be where the old Pneumonia (I think) pontoon used to stand. This would require some, if not all of the basin behind it to be filled in, with the rest made into a marina, as shown on the model.

I'm not sure Northbank.  I don't know the docks area well enough myself but hopefully that pic will give someone on here an idea. I'd love the idea of the stadium being on the docks too.


It's what was called "pneumonia" or South Quay.. definitely will require half the old dock being filled in and as you can guess by the coloquelism it'll be flipping freezing pin there!..

Surely any water front land would be prime real estate for housing, unless there is an identified future flood issue.

If it's not fit for housing, it's certainly not fit for a football stadium with the potential to accommodate up to 20,000 people!

I can't be the only one who thinks this stadium looks naff? I really hope we get a new stadium but I hope it doesn't look like this!

At the end of the day its 3 cheap indentikit stands with a fourth stand of similar design but with a fancy roof.

However .......we aint getting another ground from anybody else so can beggars be choosers ?

Think it's more of a concept than a finished design at this stage. An artists impression.

They do say they will consult with the people of Grimsby, but unless you have a spare billion like Tottenham, you are a bit limited to basic structures of some sort.

Whilst beggars can’t be choosers, I find this design so uninspiring. It’s just a flat pack box, with a floating roof bolted on.

I realise that nobody would build a new ground with different stands, but there is just no character in these newer grounds.

Yeah I don’t think they’re planning an inaccessible levitating upper tier either, so you can probably relax gents
