New Stadium

Quoted from wigworld

You felt it in the Force?

This BP music thing has gone to my head

Think it would need more land than the 6 tower blocks are built on though. Looking at a map BP, excluding the car park, is about 130 yards wide (back of Findus to back of Main Stand). It's about 160 yards from the back of the Ponny to the back of the Osmond. So 130x160 on a cramped site. You'd need all of the plot where the 6 towers are and that includes the 6 low rise blocks on the west of the plot. Are they coming down as well?

I don't know how old the map is that you are looking at but if the low rise you refer to are Comber Place etc. they've been down for ages now..

Maps (Apple). I see on Google Maps they're not there.

What about the other low rise blocks between Albert St and Kent St?

Unfortunately I think we have missed the boat while chasing the dream of peakes parkway we have failed to capitalise on the opportunity to be part of the regeneration plans of East Marsh with the grants, euro money, and money from the government. Just my views of course

Yeah still there and staying I think..

I grew up in and around Freemo and my dad used to work on the market when it was buzzing and still lives around there. I usually come into the Town on a Saturday over the flyover and drive into Town that way, what I see on Cleethorpe Rd, Freemo, Victor St. Elinor St etc.. makes me feel really sad.  

If and it's a big if this happened and if and this is an even bigger "if" the club got it right this would be great for a touch part of the Town and the football club.

This kind of development could not only provide a football ground but also a community hub for sport and recreation throughout the week. If there was some real imagination you could include a health & education center, kids creche and a Youth club for kids to go to like Shalom and Clee Fields was when I was a kid.  

A football club in a community attracting local people, fans and local players, if only!!!

I would love to see it as it would be great for the area and the club but doubt it will ever happen.  

BTW if you doubt there is enough space I lived in UULL just as they where building the KFC in West Park and the Freeman S Area of Grimsby has more space than that development.

Like  say it's a pipe dread just like PP.

The stadium will never happen, it's been talked about for over quarter of a century now and not a single brick has been laid, when the stadium happens (if indeed it does) I predict all the posters on this forum would have already gone to meet their maker in the sky.
