I don’t think folk would disagree but instead of chasing a pipe dream with literally no idea how to fund it or just spunking club cash up the wall, the new owners will be much more calculated and cautious. They haven’t put a time frame on anything and I suspect they’d be interested in a centrally located stadium rather than some uninspiring out of town type place...
Why do some people insist that a new stadium for Grimsby Town is a "pipe dream" or that "how to fund it" is some massive unanswered conundrum? Arsenal Brentford Brighton & Hove Albion Leicester City Manchester City Southampton Tottenham Hotspur West Ham United AFC Bournemouth Cardiff City Coventry City Derby County Huddersfield Town Hull City Middlesbrough Millwall Reading Stoke City Swansea City AFC Wimbledon Bolton Wanderers Burton Albion Doncaster Rovers Milton Keynes Dons Morecambe Oxford United Rotherham United Shrewsbury Town Sunderland Wigan Athletic Colchester United Forest Green Rovers Northampyton Town Scunthorpe United Walsall Barnet Chesterfield Yeovil Town AFC Fylde AFC Telford United Boston United Chester York City Maidstone United At least 44 new football stadiums built in England in my lifetime that are EFL standard (45 if you count Darlington). And then there are Rugby-only stadiums that have been built in that time like Salford, St Helens, Warrington, Widnes & Leigh. And then there are the countless other clubs who have totally rebuilt their grounds in that era too (Preston North End, Leeds Rhinos etc...) If building a new stadium is a pipe dream and how to fund one such a problem, how have the 50 new stadia I have listed above been built? |

I don’t think it’s a pipe dream...not with these guys anyway. I mean the previous incumbents who literally had zero idea of what they were doing...it never got beyond a Roy of the rovers drawing in the telewag. |

Agree with those that have put about throwing money at BP, I personally see this as wasted money. But if all you can afford is a mk2 astra, then make the most of it until the option to upgrade to an 80k motor is viable.
Out of town, for me, doesn’t work. It’s probably the cheaper option, but at the detriment and expense of the fans. There’s something heartwarming about a ground in the heart of the community and being able to walk or drive past it day or night. Seeing the floodlights always gave me a feeling of excitement that can’t be replaced anywhere. In fact, it still does.
Am sure that AP and JS know what they are doing and won’t jeopardise the club when in all fairness, a new ground isn’t a priority. YET!

Some b*st*rd will only scratch it. The Astra will get scratched as well but it obviously isn’t as important. |

The council need to acquire the land the other side of the railway tracks..build a car park for the yorkies in the summer..this will produce a footfall at the "dead end" of the seafront and businesses will soon follow(not some stupid palm tree)..in the winter in could be reserved for town on match days.

I'm not sure that BP is at "the heart of the community". Surely that's Freeman St or Saint Peter's Ave or somewhere near the River Head or the docks. When I walk to BP from the direction of Grimsby I don't get a warm and fuzzy moment when I see the lights, I worry I'm going to get mugged and will my car have been torched when I get back to it. There's a lot of rose tinted specs on here. |

You need to stop parking on Rutland Street.  |
