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.


We can go through all the whys and wherefore of the geography - what we all want is some action and some decisions.

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.)


Whenever i worked on a project involving planning permission from East Lindsey Council, it was always a right palaver. The building inspectors were akin to the Hitler Youth. Very strict and a pain in the rear.

If they had some sort of rivalry or some beef with NELC they might welcome putting a massive development right on the border of the districts just to urine them off. Worth an ask.

As you well know my reply was to your assertion that Freemo was slap bang in the middle of the conurbation.
Surely it is a given that we all want action and decisions?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I'm much more interested in us getting 3 points at Eastleigh than worrying about the geography of of a lump of concrete that might/could/may/will/should happen in X years time.

Quoted from Rob_in_Grimsby


Freeman St may be the right location for a few reasons over the others  BUT it will never happen there as the club can not afford to build the new ground without an enabling development, No new retailer is going to move down freeman st, With all the empty shops that are already there they would have done it by now.

The site Location has to be desirable to Anchor tenants and not just GTFC . Freeman st, the docks and Morisons sites would not bring fresh retailers running.



At present no retailer in their right mind would pitch up at Freeman Street.  The whole idea behind building a stadium at the top end of Freeman Street would be to give new life to the area.  It wouldn't be an area with eyesore flats and former buildings about to collapse, it would be a new shiny development in a very accessible part of the area.

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.



Maybe now that Cameron has his managed to snaffle his own plane to facilitate his globe-trotting maybe he'll be coming down more on the side of Waltham Aerodrome as the preferred location
