Just tear everything down between corpo Rd and the a180 and job done. Loads of room and great transport links. Sod east marsh area it’s had its chance to better itself.

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?
Turf Moor and St James' Park (Newcastle) are the two best rebuild in situ jobs - both are right in the heart of town / city. For rugby Welford Road has been 3/4 rebuilt also right in the middle of the city. It makes match-day special - all the fans in the centre. Same with national stadia - Millenium and Lansdown so much better match-day experiences than Wembley or Twickenham. Freemo for me.

If we could have a new stadium at Freemo with a terrace like the Shed down one side I'd be delighted, with the "Mariners" sung as loud as "Glawster"...

Turf Moor has 2 old stands that haven’t been rebuilt post-Taylor Report & Newcastle only rebuilt 3 stands and the bottom tier of the 4th stand. And I don’t think Freeman Street is a suitable location for the stadium. The site is far better suited to some modern social housing in keeping with the residential properties that neighbour the site. As someone who’s never lived in Grimsby and is always a visitor to the town, I think the Fish Dock 3 site is perfect especially with a redeveloped Ice House next door.

Been fortunate to have had many an afternoon/evening on ‘the shed’. For me, and slightly biased about it, no ground in rugby comes close to it for atmosphere

Only Fenty could spend that money on something so gaudy. Don't have much faith the money will be spent on anything Cleethorpes actually needs either way, I'm sure they'll take 600k and splash it on light shows and other dumb showy things like "modern art sculptures" and murals that don't add anything to the resort. If they want to improve tourism how about spending money on attractions, maybe get rid of the 100 year old attractions on the beach and build something new for people to enjoy. Not spend the money on stupid art projects that nobody cares about.
