It holds 12,500.  If we ever get to Peaks Parkway I would like us to build something similar with standing at both ends. lets face it, it's going to be a long time before we are back in the championship (and I think there a political moves to allow standing again anyway) and this has to be a lot cheaper than building a 14000 all seater stadium.

It is far too big for them for them though. Must be more than 3/4 empty most games. http://www.miabcleethorpes.net Logged Offline 0 0 Reply: 1 - 21 TheRonRaffertyFanClub September 17, 2014, 4:51pm Vodka Drinker Posts: 6,757 Posts Per Day: 1.59 Reputation: 79.33% Rep Score: +42 / -11 Location: Norfolk Approval: +7,270 A bit different to the days when I frequented in in the 70s!

Away fans in a side stand designed with cr@p accoustics. Interesting to see Everton have got planning permission for a new ground “To put it in gentleman’s terms if you’ve been out for a night and you’re looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they’re good looking and some weeks they’re not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She weren’t the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let’s have a coffee” Logged Offline 1 0 Reply: 3 - 21 Grimsbys finest September 17, 2014, 6:15pm Season Ticket Holder Posts: 4,058 Posts Per Day: 1.08 Reputation: 73.33% Rep Score: +39 / -15 Approval: +1,538 I personally would like it enclosed. I like the look of Rotherham's new ground.

I remember it well in the 70's, I think there was a bus station at one end of the ground and no terracing there. Also the terrace steps were just slag/cinder material with wooden steps cut into it. It was probably one of the worst grounds I have been to, and I have seen some eyesores over the years.

I'd happily have something like that in NE Lincs Logged Offline 1 0 Reply: 6 - 21 GrimRob September 17, 2014, 6:57pm Moderator Posts: 10,464 Posts Per Day: 2.30 Reputation: 68.28% Rep Score: +72 / -35 Approval: +7,889 It's used for Rugby League as well, they get around 2000 in the Championship for that. They'll probably get in the middle group in the Super 8's next season when it starts up so they'll play the bottom four of  the Super League when it switches from two leagues of 12 to three of 8, so gates might be a bit higher next season. Shame Rugby League isn't popular in Grimsby, it's a great way to get a stadium used all year round and half the cost of maintenance.
