What about Brighton, no where near a main road, limited parking, so free train  the best option. Makes me think what sort of attendance they would get at the bottom of the Championship, or lower.


The best stadiums are the ones in city/town centers or within easy walking distance, with a rail station close.


Did you go to the wrong ground, Brighton's stadium is right next to the A27, has a large car park on site with another a 10 minute walk away and is no where near the town centre.

You mean the moderately sized car park that they blocked off and didn’t allow anyone to use?

Which car park are you on about, the large one at the ground or the smaller one that our car was parked in.

Quoted from Maringer


Additional bus services should be pretty much direct to the ground. We'd need dozens of them operating, mostly arriving within a limited window of time and they'd need to be ready to depart soon after the game. Very tricky given that the road links in the town are pretty busy most of the time in any case.

I've not been on the bus in N.E. Lincs for some years, but I have memories of it taking an absolute flipping age to get into town from Cleethorpes back then. I have less faith than you in the ability of the council/bus companies to sort out a proper service for matchdays.

Ah well, it's a long way down the road and we don't even know if a new ground would be feasible for decades. We'll see how the landscape lies then.


The nature of the population in NELC would suggest that more people would live within a few miles (or walking distance) or the Town Centre than Blundell Park.



This shows everything within a 1.5mile radius of Grimsby Town Centre and Blundell Park respectively.  If, again and as always, it's hypothetical, a ground in the centre of town would need less local people using a car, bus, train etc.

From a central point, there's already infrastructure in place to get to Scartho, The Willows, Humberston, parts of Cleethorpes etc.  Yes it would need expanding on and developing.  But that should be a relatively easy fix.

Edit:  On a match day the only traffic on the roads is match day traffic.  There's no traffic in and around retail areas anymore.  You get the odd bizarre tailback in the Cleethorpes Tesco every now and then, but that's it.

I've always wondered how popular the golf courses behind the Auditorium and Humber Royal are. Probably completely obvious why both of those pieces of land are non-starters and that's why I've never heard them mentioned. The land behind the Auditorium would seems to tick a lot of boxes for me, if it was ever available

Grimsby Golf course is too hilly - the kick golf behind auditorium is on an old rubbish tip - don't know if suitable for building

Grimsby golf club is a members owned golf club why would they want to sell the site to the football club even it it was suitable?
