Quoted from DB


The away team buses manage it.



I don't see why a Park and Ride would need to go down Harrington Street. Surely Thorold Street is fine and it's much more bus friendly. You would need to remove the ability to park on matchdays but there aren't any houses down there.

It won't happen but a train running back and forth from New Clee to Healing, calling at Great Coates and Grimsby Town would be brilliant on matchdays.

Quoted from RonMariner
We are a club going places, with great momentum. I can see us at the top end of L1 before long, and there is no reason why we shouldn't expect gates for big matches to have the potential to be well over 10,000.  That capacity and more could be accommodated at BP if the ground is improved. Certainlly a more realistic option than dreaming about £50 million new stadium.


Probably best to wait until we've been promoted from League Two before making statements like that.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I don't think the council will give permission for more than 10k at Blundell Park.  That is basically just extending the Main Stand to the Pontoon.

NELC might be more sympathetic to BP redevelopment if there hadn't been a STADIUM-SIZED PLOT OF LAND at Freeman Street staring us in the face for four and a half years.

The Council did ask the club to move in 1992 I believe, but have done nothing to assist since then.

We don’t need a park and ride just a bloody good bus operator that parks up half a dozen buses going each way after the matches and not just having the timetabled buses
Stagecoach is an absolute joke not interested in putting buses on when there is demand


The park & ride at Lincoln for the Christmas market is fantastic, whoever organises that needs a pay rise it works like a fine tuned instrument

Google maps says 19 minutes walk and about 1 mile


It usually takes me, walking at a reasonable pace, about 20 minutes to get to the station for my train back down to Surrey.

In the seven years I have had a season ticket I have tried all sort of routes back to the station. If I beat 20 minutes then that is good. However, I am 72 and that may have something to do with it.

I would imagine the people that use it are from out of town , which makes sense. It quite likely that local people either use local bus services or walk.
