I think it’s a cracking idea, I’ll probably be in the minority though 🙂.
The area isn’t in great shape at the minute and it’ll give it one heck of a boost.
Might go out and buy the white knight, might be worth it. Anyone used to drink in there?
I did when I worked at the Telegraph just round the corner. It was there or the Mariners club in Kent St. who did a curry to die for.

One of the main reasons we need to move from BP is the traffic problems you can end up with when we get anything over about 5000 in (you’d expect the base attendance to increase with a new ground). If the new stadium is built there then it just seems like we’re moving the traffic problem a mile or two up the road unless the entire West Marsh and Central Grimsby road network is to be revamped too.

Just for once, it would be nice to see an honest statement from the club on this. Either we are still trying to get this done or it's fallen through - whoever is reading this, whether you are Messrs Fenty, Marley or Day or the bloke from Extreme, could you please confirm or deny what we all suspect?
Agreed, the fans deserve a statement from the club on this now one way or another.

I'm sorry but no council is going to pay for a new stadium, unless they rent it to town.
I'd rather the club pay a rent to the council who would have a vested interest in its success rather than a 30mill bridging loan to a faceless bank. And we've got more chance of a pool of professional people getting the design right rather than the taste of one man who thinks roll necks, chintzy furniture and Sweet Caroline have a place in 2018..

The new stadium sited at Freeman St will cause less traffic problems than at PP.
Away fans will be just coming off the A180 instead of going across to PP.
All we need is enough parking for both away and home fans.

Sorry you’re right Pete. The traffic down Carr Lane, Durban Rd, Welholme Rd etc is always caused by the legions of Forest Green and Morecambe fans getting stuck in the maze. Hopefully we’ll be back in the Championship by then and the Norwich and Ipswich fans will have an easy route home via the A180 and we won’t get stuck with them lot trying to get out.

Lots of money available in Coastal Communities Grant perhaps Club should be doing research how a new ground could enhance the community by doing outreach work in the west marsh.,.The club needs to appoint someone who is experienced in making grant applications.

That will not be a problem LH, Ipswich and Norwich will not be in the championship if they continue playing like they are at the moment.

Your last sentence is just like the stadium - a pipe dream It actually seems up the entire Fenty reign in one sentence - a normal businessman would surround himself with people who know the ins and out of such matters and take an active but not overwhelming role in the process. However his over inflated ego simply will not let him.
