Ok I will chuck in a rumour with no evidence whatsoever I think the anchor tenant if this proposal goes ahead will be IKEA . Now IF that`s correct it`s a proper game changer for this whole area and it will bring in no end of shoppers from allover Lincolnshire . Of course this is only me having a guess so probably wrong

I am deffo in the camp that Freemo would tick most box`s. the two main things going against it are. 1- no money to pay for it. and 2- its been said many times that there is not enough land for it.. so before it goes any further these two need clarifying

I thought it had been shown there was enough land for it, jusy not enough land for the 3g training pitches, but they can be elsewhere i guess or just not part of the build (would save a little bit of cost)

I think you are right about the 3g pitches, but would be better if everything was in one place. Also i thought the overall plan was to have other things going on there to bring in extra cash so the club was not relying on match day crowds to pay for everything, so there was more to invest in the team

Dont forget...whichever side of the debate you sit on....this is the Freemans tenant for their redevelopment of the block that is currently being demolished.
They are currently standing alone and moving ahead with their own plan for their land in that neighbourhood.

GTFC, LHP (former Shoreline/council land owners) and the Great Gy Project dock thing arent involved in this as far as i am aware.

IMO all parties should be around the table looking at one overall linked vision .....if JF is now the portfolio holder for regen he needs to get that moving as quick and as far as he actually can with his conflict restrictions.




Well that's put the Council out of the loop for a start. I can't think of a single linked vision from any Grimsby based council for the 50 years I've been interested in local politics.

Does anyone think Phillips 66 (formerly Conoco) would be up for donating some of the funds required?

Does that pave the way for a flat pack stadium? What could it be called?

Might chuck a small amount for naming rights.

Other possibles (companies who made money in GY): ABP, Dong (or whatever it's called now), Youngs, Findus

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
