Club in talks with housing developer over Parkway stadium plan.
They also hope a major supermarket retailer can join the squad.
Contrary to popular belief, house prices go up when a new stadium is built nearby.
The club hopes to create a 14,000-seater stadium which has the capacity to expand to a 20,000 seat stadium.
The stadium complex could also house a health and wellbeing centre and provide education and training facilities and pitches for other sports including rugby, netball and cricket.
A budget of £22 million has been allocated for the construction of the new stadium.
Club bosses are working on two plans, one of which will deliver 1,488 new homes.
Plan Two would create a subsidy to the club of £5 million from a retail developer and £13 million from housing if around 850 homes were built.
In addition the club is expecting to secure a grant from The Football Foundation.

This, but could the club have approached to council too on the idea..?


But the council had already made the decision before the club , like the rest of us, found out about the plans for a new pool. The council knew we were looking for a new ground when they discussed the decision to build a new pool. Surely before that decision was made they could have contacted the club to see if the two plans could be merged. It would have been impossible for the GTFC board to have known what the council were planning prior to it being announced.

Why do councils have to be run by politician wannabe's?  Not an ounce of business sense between them and, coupled to the fact that Grimsby is for some strange reason a labour stronghold, you have a perfect recipe for zero foresight and investment in things that matter.

Can anyone come up with anything positive that our (yours actually, I had the sense to leave) wonderful majority labour council has EVER done that has actually improved the town?

That shows what DeFreitas and The Great Dictator think about GTFC then!

Which all lends weight to the suspicion that a new ground will only ever be built as a 'throw in' as part of a very large and lucrative housing development deal, not necessarily anywhere close to the stadium. Just the sort of thing that The Great Dictator loves for his photo ops.

Agreed but if the land is going to be developed anyway then why not get in on the act. If it's the only way we can get a new ground then surely " the end justifies the means ".

I just like people to tell the truth.

***laughter***, a negative vote for daring to criticise the Labour Party.  Well my friend, your negative vote carries about the same weight as a vote at the next GE for the Labour Party will.  Zilch!!
