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.

Away fans in a side stand designed with cr@p accoustics. Interesting to see Everton have got planning permission for a new ground Findus: if the footballs Sh1t you can always watch the ships Main stand: if the footballs Sh1t you can always abuse the manager

Guest User	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.

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.
