I was on the train from Cleethorpes to Doncaster after the game. Most said they would rather have stayed at Belle View as there is no sole in the new ground. They called it a concrete monstrosity in the wrong part of town.

How many will say the same when we move to a new ground?


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

We can sell them some sole, surely?

One of them actually referred to Belle Vue as being good ....I laughed at the suggestion   reminded them it was a decaying sh1t hole and the only thing of note was watching the gliders taking off and rising up over the far end.


Is that like us watching the traffic in and out of the humber from the findus stand?

Any donny fan that wanted to stay at Belle View wants their head examined.
It was one of the worst grounds at that time, it was an absolute dump.

Unless they meant rebuilding the stadium from scratch, but I dont6know how feasible that would have been.

Yes it's a  nondescript new build but surely it's only a gnats member away from the old one.

A bit deluded if you think away fans won't go into the town centre pre match, of course they will.
It would just mean them getting a cab or bus etc to the ground and having us pencilled in as a excrement awayday.


Are you saying you want the club to stay at Blundell Park, maximum capacity 10k, so away fans can still have their day out in Cleethorpes?

The likes of Sunderland, Sheff Utd and WBA would easily bring 3,000 vocal supporters to Grimsby West regardless of how 'excrement' the experience.

Ungrateful barstewards. It’s a perfectly good, modern stadium with excellent facilities and accessibility. The reason it might feel soul-less is probably more to do with how many people attend and what they do when they’re there. I’d rather have something akin to Rotherham’s stadium, but I agree - anyone who wishes they’d not had the new stadium and stayed at the tip that was Belle View (irony) has had too many sherbets.
