I am sure it's fish dock no.3 which thespian to fill in, which is the bit on the top right hand corner where you've put the gtf C ground image


Murray Street ends just after it goes under Humber Bridge Road, so I wouldn't have thought it's where I put Blundell Park for size comparison.

It really makes you wonder how many supporters have passed away since this was first mooted over a quarter of a century ago and how many of us will be gone before it's fruition.

In some circles Grimsby Docks and Immingham Docks are classed as 1 port, so in the eventuality of us becoming a Free Port would we have to have permits to enter the said designated area  My understanding of a Free Port is a vast area where imports are stored and exported with no customs or tax implications. There would be more profit for ABP from a Free Zone so surely they wouldn't "waste " space on a local football club who those in head office probably will never have heard of

I'm afraid my cynically heads kicked in yet again...
All these so called proposed sites for the new ground is all good and well but unfortunately until I see that first s@d turned over and a ring fenced area of harrass fencing with signs saying "No entry, building of the new GTFC stadium on going" I'll stay in the 'believe it when I see it' camp..

What about access?,  There is no access off Riby square,  the only way through is via flyover or through side streets.  Humber street bridge is unsafe.
Huge congestion.  where are pubs and eateries?
Its a no from me


You lack imagination sir.

The £80 million CAN be used to improve access, roads and either repair, replace or demolish the unsafe bridge over the railway lines. That would open up the area that use to be Robinson Lane Wormesley Road and give access to the lights at Park Street, Going the other way down Murray Street takes you to either Freeman Street, or round the dock offices to Lockhill roundabout. New Clee station is a short walk from this area, maybe shuttle trains could run to / from Cleethorpes and town station, as well as dropping off visiting fans.

There looks to be space there for the ground on that patch of land (immediately south of FD No. 3). If the road access can be sorted out. GY Docks station for visitors (2/3-33/4 mile away) New Clee for home end (keep the away lot away from Cleethorpes ) But would need new platform at New Clee, because isn't there only one on the 'wrong' side?

Not sure I like the location as much as the old Freemo Flats site though unless there was a massive amount of money spent on doing up the whole area. Hell of a dream though.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
