Really? Nearly all the corrupt councillors I've ever heard of have been Labour ones, though I'm sure you'll find them in all parties. But then I go back a long way, to the days of Andrew Cunningham and T. Dan Smith.
Perhaps the council could get their national leader to help them make up their mind, he's shown just how decisive he is in the last few days.



Yeah but you live in Sunderland where the local Tory party hold their meetings in a phone box (and I'm not talking Dr Who's TARDIS)

sonik, I agree on PP; just noting that if the council are only going to back Freemo, then we have to take it and it could work.

What the Telegraph article didn't make much of is that PP comes out clearly on top once you factor in viability.

Quoted from MuddyWaters


The enabling development bit will probably be the key, isn't Europarc too commercial/industrial for anything of that type to happen there? I mentioned Waltham Airfield in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way earlier but thinking on, it is a big enough area to create new infrastructure around a ground, does anyone know who it belongs to?


This might be daft because I'm not sure where the boundaries of N.E. Lincs lie but I think Waltham areodrome might just be in East Lindsey which would go some way to explaining why it hasn't been considered by N.E. Lincs (I'll look tomorrow but I'm pretty sure the sign for N.E. Lincs is north of the areodrome on Louth Road. Holton Le Clay is definitely in East Lindsey.)

Quoted from rancido



But surely by being season-ticket holders they are classed as having " a vested interest " and as such would be prohibited from voting on any decisions as regards the siting of the ground ?


You may be right but just remember we aren't just talking about a football stadium here. It is to be a community stadium in every sense of the word. Most of the activities that happen there will have little or nothing to do with football on a week by week basis.

Totally agree about Europarc and Great Coates. Having always been in the no to Parkway camp I am just pleased people are coming to their senses and seeing a club that says it is part of the community must have a ground that actually benefits the community. That goes a lot further than just lettings and leisure activities.On the Parkway that can never happen, in fact the reverse.

So my vote would go to Freeman Street with Morrisons second if we have to have an edge of town stadium.


I'd be genuinely interested in why you believe that to be the case and particularly what you mean by "community"

What about getting lidl or Aldi involved . They build flats above them down this way to get planning . Why not build the new ground built above it with leisure facilities , parking whatever also incorporated into the plan ? Would fit in freemo nicely then

Peaks Parkway is central. Not Freeman Street! We need this now not in 10 to 15 years. Typical stalling Council.

UTM!


Im pretty sure that Freemo is slap bang in the centre of the Grimsby Clee conurbation and Peaks Parkway is on the edge. Not that I want Freemo.

I used to think that but how can an area that is effectively bordered on one of its sides by the river be in the centre of anything?

Anywhere south of Clee Road in Cleethorpes (i.e all of Beacon Hill estate and all of Chichester Road estate and the sea front), all of the villages (Humberston, New Waltham Waltham, Brigsley Scartho) and anywhere South of Welholme Road, and east of Bargate/Scartho Road is definitely nearer to Peakes Parkway. The added advantage is that for the vast majority of people living in the above areas there would be no need to go and block up the roads in the Town Centre trying to get to the ground. The accessibility of the Peakes Parkway site is unquestionable in my opinion.

I was thinking the same. Aldi and Lidl are the new Tesco, without the aggression.
