For me, the ideal location would be somewhere near to elsham/brigg . Great links to road, air and rail networks, not too far from Grimsby/cleethorpes and already has the likes of elsham hall and forest pines in close proximity (beats staying at millfields sic) Will it happen? I think it is doubtful but with the potential new owners actually prepared to be ‘radical’ and forward thinking, then who knows Rose is on fire And your scotch eggs are fu(king vile

There is the Brigg Town ground of course plus a Leisure centre.unfortunately it is not in NEL.  An alternative if we do not want to upset Cleethorpes Town by investing in their rivals would be the Clee Road site or the North Prom sands, tides permitting. Seems to me though that Brigg has many advantages, easy M-way access being key. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

How about we build a state-of-the-art training facility right here in Grimsby, with everything a modern footballer would want. Make it something they'd be willing to travel for.

And also unfair on the players that actually do move to the Grimsby area and are willing and available to get involved in community projects. I thought that's what everyone wanted, Just because a failed penny pinching regime has struggled to attract players to their crumbling club citing location as the key excuse for their failure to sign players of any quality, doesn't mean to say it will always be so under new ownership. I could just about understand this idea out of desperation under a continuing Fenty regime, but I trust the new owners will change the perception of the club over time to make this whole training ground location "problem" a moot point..

For players who live in Sheffield or Leeds (perhaps Nottingham) this becomes more commutable but it’s not far for the youth team to come.
