New Stadium Rumour

Quoted from grimsby pete

Mu first job after leaving school in 1963 was as an apprentice bricklayer on the high rise flats,

I can not believe I have lasted longer than them,

So for that reason I would love our new ground to be there,

Among other things.

Rumour has it that the workmen knocking down the flats have found it surprisingly easy    

Quoted from Maringer

Well, I suppose it would be making some positive use of the area. Can't see how the traffic situation could be anything but chaotic though, especially during the summer months when you've got lots of holiday makers coming in.

Fortunately most of the football season isn't in the Summer.

You are all off your fking t!ts....

JF has said we will be in a new ground at PP in , IIRC, less than 2 yrs now .....Extreme will deliver ....I have already invested in a pair of top quality shrink to fit ice skates ready to land my first triple salchow at the new ice arena ahead of the opening game.....a rep of the board stated we have ambitions to be playing in the Championship within 5 yrs (was it ?) at our new home.

So where are the grounds for doubting ..cough cough..sorry must clear my throat..coughConoco Stadiumcough cough..for doubting any of that ?

I dont know why some people on here just come up with such poppycock when GTFC only deals in FACTS.....THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION IS PP....read my lips....PP ...no other site meets the requirements...Championship football in 5...... Keep The Faith...in Fenty we trust.

Perhaps we could get gang of us down to the flats and sort out the best looking bricks to recycle and if we use the seats from Blundell park were half way there. You may laugh but that's a lot further than Mr Fenty of the council has got us in 20 or more years.

A stadium surrounded by apartment developments with new retail shops, maybe something could be done around the bottom end of Freeman Street, would take time with compulsory purchase orders etc.

I would like to see something like what Wimbledon and Brentford have got lined up.  Imagine Freeman Street like the developments at Wimbledon and Brentford in the pictures below, the pubs would be heaving on match days. Railway not far away either not like Peaks Parkway and like Pete said straight off the M180.

AFC Wimbledon - New Plough Lane. Development already underway on 11,000-capacity ground due October 2019.

Quoted from LH

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.

I’d say that’s the least of the reasons we need to move? At the end of the day, if thousands of people are all heading to one place at a certain time, there’s gonna be traffic. It’s not that bad round Blundell Park.

Heard the same rumours a number of weeks ago. Very exciting if all of it is true.

No smoke without fire but we’ve been here before and like the thread title says, it’s just a rumour.

I for one would love a new stadium but we’ve been let down so many times before and doesn’t seem fair for all this to be resurrected again.

However a statement of intent would get the juices flowing but until then, it’s just a rumour.

Quite a few people on here heard things but more than likely it’s Chinese Whispers

It would help regenerate that area into the hub of Grimsby it once was and my heart says could it be quite something.

A new GTFC stadium to be built with the glorious iconic dock tower as a backdrop.

Imagine coming off the A180 over the flyover or even up from Grimsby road. The iconic dock Tower on one side and a brand new GTFC stadium the other


Now that would really make this town IMHO.


Tis a dream I have. UTM.
