It was a half hearted attempt and the backers soon pulled out.
The council ultimately has to take a side and there will be a loser, why was this a wrong decision?
We could do with some more strong councillors to stop the never ending development south of the town and move it to the west.

Glad it fell through. Who the fook wants to go to Great Coates to watch the Mariners? Not me.


As opposed to the current match day experience? Watching sh*t football in a decrepit ground that you get to by travelling through an area twinned with Aleppo.

I’d take a trip to Blundell Park or any other stadium situated as such than an out of town breezeblock shed.

Colchester, worst away experience in the league. Bolton isn’t much better...Shrewsbury, similar. Great Coates would’ve been a horrible experience...

Quoted from rancido


It was actually a variety of bird called a Golden Plover that had been seen using the proposed site for roosting. The fact that when disturbed the birds could fly to an adjacent site was completely ignored by Natural England (?). The club were also expected to buy an equivalent area to set aside to replace the lost roosting site. Then Network Rail got in on the act and said the club would have to stump up £1 million to upgrade Great Coates Station to cope with the increased passenger usage, which was crazy as only the Barton Train stops there. It was a complete fiasco


Which again was underhand b0ll0cks, I know for sure that a local resident spray painted a couple of pigeons with a rattle can and took a grainy photo as evidence.
More galling for me is the later behaviours of the Parish Council who were showed up for what they are with the long running public disputes and in fighting they had over their village hall. Absolutely pathetic that such small minded petty people had such a massive influence on what was a huge opportunity for the town/area.

I lived in Great Coates then as well. I was looking forward to a short walk up Woad Lane to the new ground on match days - how wrong I was!!


Another fascinating fact and total irrelevance was that " Livvo " was my next door but two neighbour!

Ah, the posh end off Station Road. I lived on Woad Lane just before the village ended.
