Extreme leisure

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

But haven't they been supposedly getting all of this in place for the past 3 years? An update on proceedings wouldn't go amiss.

There is no update that's the point. No progress whatsoever has been made, even the NIMBYs not to mention J Fenty (Con) have gone quiet

I keep hearing rumblings from a few different sources about an alternative yet to be announced stadium plan somewhere around Freeman Street - either on the docks side or where all the flats are being demolished. No idea if there's any truth to it, and I first heard about it a few months back, but it certainly would be nice if the club would let us know if they're still ploughing on with Peaks Parkway or have given up on it. We've not heard anything for 8 months, when the club exclusively revealed the developers had finally met with the council (wow! a meeting! what incredible progress!), yet provided no actual detail on what the meeting covered, besides some unspecified "progress".

Even on the original proposals there was a funding shortfall to even start the project wasn't there ? ...never mind the additional funding that would suddenly be identified once anything actually starts up and all concerned resubmit costs as their 3 yr old costs are no longer valid.

I have heard something similar, a 14,000 all seater stadium in the Freemo area, along with a new investor.  All part of the councils plan to regenerate the area.

Just something I heard, no substance to my knowledge.

Its this lot.

There is no way ABP would allow a football stadium on the Docks. Apart from the fact that I don't think there is an area large enough ( without filling one of the Fish Docks in ) , the security would be totally impractical. ABP want the land for docks based industry and a football stadium doesn't come within that sphere. Also, they wouldn't sell the land and any leasing arrangement would be quite restrictive.

I have heard they are in trouble,

They have slipped up on that Ski slope in Sheffield.

Its rumbling over old stuff I know but I still think a ground somewhere near where the multi storey flats were has to be the best bet - regeneration for Freemo , great road link back to the A180 , trains for away fans at either New Clee or Grimsby Docks ………...surely a no brainer  

The Freeman Community Stadium might see the light of day.

It just has to be Freeman Street, I have always thought so but I just don't see the Council going for it, in fact I don't see the council going for it wherever is suggested in Grimsby (or Cleethorpes)
