What will the new stadium be called ?

Assuming it does go ahead ! and assuming it is not named after a sponsor like say ' Youngs Stadium'  what would you like it to be called ?

Can't say I care what it's called (although I'd like to retain 'Park' in the name) but I'd like it to referred to as a 'ground' rather than a stadium ffs. 'Stadiums' are somewhat grander than ours will be and they tend to have four stands for a start!

Not a chance that it won't have a sponsored name..

Peaks parkway park ? , also will each stand have there own names ? Maybe the Alan Buckley stand surely he deserve something best manager we ever had apart from hurst obviously 😏

How about the home end being called "The Pontoon Stand".

The check a trade stadium?🙊

The ADF stadium maybe?  

Fenty Dome

It will be sponsored out , the lot of it ! I do hope the Alan Buckley stand happens though . what he achieved on the budgets he worked with will never be repeated at this club................ Oh yeah , we sacked him

Why not just 'Peakes Parkway' - It'll help visiting fans on their trudge from the station  to find it for a start (can't see Fenty's fleet of coaches plan to bus 'em to the ground lasting very long)
then you can name the stands, The Allotment Stand and the Cemetery Stand perhaps (depending on which two sides they put stands on of course)

Quoted from psgmariner

Fenty Dome

Only if he is willing to write off the debt for the privilege        

Got 3 main hopes for the new 'pitch -with -a -stand'  (which is brand new Grimsby slang for a state of the art sporting facility)
1 it's called the fenty fishy-dome
2 the main stand is named after Danny Boshell
3 flasks are allowed

and plenty of tampon machines so they don't have to bring their own

I would like it to be called The Fishy Stadium  

The Fish Bowl

The Fish Bowl

Winner!

Ice rink could be the Big Skate.

Peaks Park

The 'Addock Arena, as Grimsby folk doesn't pronounce there H's.

Agree with all of this, I would like to have a Pontoon Stand though too.

Think 'The Realist Stadium' has a ring to it

Peaks Park

1. HMT Grimsby Town

          A link to the use of our trawlers used in WW2 (HMT = Her Majesty's Trawler).

2. Mariner Park

3. Could have Dogger Bank, Grimsby fishing grounds but it may be misthought for Dogging Bank and it would attract the wrong crowd for night games.

Home stand behind the goal  - Pontoon
Side Stand - Alan Buckley Family Stand
Side stand - 'Sponsored'
Away stand behind the goal - Mike Lyons/Mike Neweel scouse twits

I hope that home fans are behind both goals and the away fans are in one corner/side stand

The Extreme Codger Dome, home for crotchety old grumbling fans

Just called it peaks park, then rename the road peaks park way

Alternatively, Blundell Palace

King George Park. Named after the monarch ruling at the time of opening.

Buckley's name should certainly be incorporated somehow, but it's important to remember we're not just naming the stadium, but a whole Sports Park and complex.

Even if it's going to be sponsored, it would be nice to have a non-sponsored parallel name, so we could still know it as "Buckley Park" or "Furneaux Fields" or whatever, but the club and league could still style it as "Youngs Arena at Buckley Park" or "Dong Energy Arena" if they wish.

One stand should be called the Kevin Moore stand, to keep alive the memory of one of the finest defenders to have pulled on the famous black and white stripes.

Quoted from Cloudy

I like that. We would need real ale, real pies, and real football a la Buckley. Would I be allowed to walk my dog on it at half time so that it could sh*t in the goalmouths?

I know you get a lot of stick but that was very funny

I take most of in good spirit but occasionally I crack.  Sorry for my comment earlier Ginnywings

I do love GTFC but unfortunately hate Fenty, Hurst, and the prospect of this development so close to me.

On a serious note, my mother lives closer to the site than I do,  and it is not pleasant seeing an elderly women in such a state of distress as she is over the stadium plans . Its only football but the impact is devastating on some. Lets be considerate to those during our debates

Maybe the blame for the fear lies with certain politicians whipping up feelings. I can understand you being concerned about it though.

Quoted from ginnywings

The sides could then be the Ginnywings.

Serious question why would you hate Hurst ?

The side nearest the road could be the Railway End in recognition of what was there before the road.

How about Gooseman's Field for the ground.

Fair play realist. We all want the same thing and if that is real ale, real pies and real football, then we are in total agreement.

Couldn't agree more

Like the idea of Peaks Park but what about the new pathway being called  The Fenty way and the toilets called De freitarse.    

Would we still be keeping the  mcmenemy suite ?

Why can't we wouldn't we want to stay at Blundell Park?

I will miss it but perhaps I'm fearful of change

3 sides of the home end called; Alan Buckley mark 1 stand, Alan Buckley mark 2 stand, Paul hurst stand,

Away end called: Alan Buckley mark 3 stand

Conoco stadium  

I would name the new stadium:

                                      Pelham Park In reference to Grimsby Pelham (what the club used to be called)

Also the song would fit, AT PELHAM PARK SINCE I WAS YOUNG!

Maybe
Peaks Park?
Extreme Stadium?
Fish Parkway?
Mighty Peaks?
Freshney Park?
Peaks Lane?

We're kidding ourselves if we think it'll be anything other than a sponsors name. Yes it'd be great to call it something of our own, but the sponsorship money will come in very handy towards the cost of the whole thing no doubt.

Same with the stands. We'd all love a stand named after Buckley etc, but the reality is we'll probably need the income from selling the stands names. And what's more, there'll be more interest and more worth to us for selling stand names when it's a brand spanking new big stadium. I think we'd be lucky to keep one stand of our own choosing and I'd go for the Pontoon to keep that behind a goal.

Quoted from sydney

Intimidation for away teams

Yes the toilets are quite scary as is the rickety old away stand.

We need something modern and fresh to breath new life into the club and area. Make people believe and get interested in their local club again. Having an old stadium with 1970's toilets and dropping into non league doesn't do much for the image of the club and area makes it seem like a bit of a tin pot operation that belongs down there. Yes there is a lot of history there but we can't let nostalgia hold us back. Unless they can knock down all those stands and build some modern two tier ones then staying just isn't a good idea and I'm sure there is a big reason they can't do that since housing is so close.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

The ADF stadium.  

The MDF Stadium.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Can I pinch that idea Les. But if we have a family stand , 'The Moore family Stand'. Which not only keep Kevs memory, but also that of what surely must be the family with the most members to play for town. Not 100% but I believe. Roy, Les, Kev, Dave and Andy.

Think that's a brilliant suggestion Civvy.

I realise it will probably be a sponsored name but i like  THUNDERDOME

(.........insert sponsor........) Parkway Stadium

Quoted from Skrill

I would name the new stadium:

                                      Pelham Park In reference to Grimsby Pelham (what the club used to be called)

I like that very apt

Just suggested this on the other thread before reading this one and seeing others have the same idea.

I think it is important to remember him, probably the best centre back I have ever seen play for Grimsby.

I remember when he passed away I wanted the main stand to be renamed the Kevin Moore stand.

New Blundell Park

If Youngs agree to sponsor it,

We could call it  Youngs  Mariners Community Arena

OR

YMCA for short.

I think its pretty obvious that in time to come, the stand nearest Weelsby Ave will be known as the Crem End.

Quoted from Perkins

I think its pretty obvious that in time to come, the stand nearest Weelsby Ave will be known as the Crem End.

I would think that's a dead cert.  


I'll get my coat !!

The official name will almost certainly be the Extreme something or other.

Unofficially I think we should just call it The Park.

I would also endorse the thought of stands named after Alan Buckley, and either Kevin Moore or the Moore Family stand.

I am surprised no one has mentioned it (although I haven't seen other threads yet) but I also think a case should be made for the John McDermott Stand. Record appearances, one club and a true GTFC legend imo.

Turners Toilets  

The Fenty [back] Garden

The ground will change name every 3 or 4 years as sponsorship changes...

but Nimby Park has a ring to it.

Back around year 2000/2002, Conoco offered 1 million for naming rights I think, I can't remember the term of the deal.

As far as I'm concerned, whoever offers Grimsby Town the most money over whatever period should aquire the naming rights, the more money the club receives the better.

I have no issue giving away naming rights as long as there is a normal name to go alongside it. Very few stadiums are actually referred to by the sponsor's name (Emirates being an example, although even that has the name Ashburton Grove). New York Stadium in Rotherham has been mentioned a lot as an inspiration, yet no one called it the ASSEAN New York Stadium! I'd be happy to play in the Young's New Pelham Park or whatever name we went for, knowing that we don't actually have to use the full name.

As a matter of interest does anyone know the origin of Blundell? I know there is Blundell Ave, but I guess they are named after someone of that name. Who was he/she?

I won't believe it until the foundations are being excavated.

Is it still going to be the same design as that earlier version of are they looking at something more interesting like Scunnys which I think looks rather good.

In 1899 a guy called Peter Blundell bought the land and built the stadium where we are now, hence Blundell Park

Youngs Community Stadium

Partly correct---but Peter Blundell died in 1601.  Peter Blundell was a wealthy clothier who plied his trade between York and London.  When he died he left various amounts to different colleges. " Sidney Sussex College " [ ring a bell] was given money and bought land in Cleethorpes and named it after Peter Blundell.

You could have used the same argument for getting rid of all the houses around Freeman Street or the West Marsh in the late 60's. They had history, atmosphere and location. Unfortunately they , like BP, were well past their sell by date and typical of an outdated way of life.

Given the infatuation of some with the current Labour 'leader' (Ho,ho,ho), how about Corbyns last stand?

I just hope the second part is either Park or Ground. I can't stand all of these new grounds being called Stadium.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

Would we still be keeping the  mcmenemy suite ?

Looking at the mugshots of the Extreme team I thought 'that lot wouldn't be allowed in to McMenemy's'.

Would love something like 'The New Blundell Park' etc but realistically it's going to be 'Young's Community Stadium' or 'Extreme Sports Community Stadium'

GRIMSBY EVENING TELEGRAPH  1/6/2066---"It has been proposed by the controlling group " The Suffragettes " at last nights council meeting that Daubney Street be further demolished to create additional car parking facilities for TOWNS home matches now that they are in the Premiership. It is also intended to increase the height of the Main stand to 7 storeys to meet the 20000 seats required. Laughter erupted in the public gallery when Councillor Fenty suggested that a new stadium would soon be required and he put forward that the Tesco Store on Peaks Parkway be demolished and the sight used for a new 2 sided community centre.

how about sharing the sponsorship names between 2 big firms and including the name of a Town legend ; something snappy like the
'Associated British Ports Norbert Dentressangle Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro Community Sporting Fentydome Arena' ?

Nobody wants it called stadium or arena.  Change the last bit to Park and you might be in with a shout 😉

I*  agree with you  got nice ring to  it

Naming rights is a given in this day and age and we should not be too bothered about it as long as it's a well recognised National Company, personally I would like to avoid any pay day loan set up.s etc...

The 4 stands (when they are all built) The new pontoon, The Alan Buckley Stand, the other 2 I would not have a clue to be honest......... If Fenty does pull this off then he should get his name up somewhere as once you step back and take all the emotion out of it a new ground with no massive benefactor after the last 10 years or so would actually be quite an achievement.          

I would use the bars, suites lounges etc.. to recognise the likes of The Moore Family, Macca, Matt Tees etc... etc...  Also the people who run the GTFC disabled supporters club should be recognised for what they do/have done each week for years.
