So what's the answer?



Think about sites on the periphery of the town that have become redundant and have good motorway access.

Thinking about that and what is in "Grimsby" as opposed to NELC. it points down to the docks where the ABP land is used to store cars, sometimes. Both the A46 and A16 do not meet your comments. Nothing redundant on the A46 and the allotments are still in use of the A16.

So is this the answer?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Quoted from Mappers
There is that and about 10 teams being able to clear 3k away tickets if we getthere , let's hope they have a plan in place because it becomes a bit more important when you are missing out on about 50k people through the gate (££££) ballpark through a season because of a lack of capacity .


There are less than 2,000 seats behind each goal at BP.  Unless Stockwood and Pettit have secretly bought 30 houses on Blundell Avenue and Neville Street, there is no way to significantly increase the Pontoon and Osmond capacity.

Quoted from lukeo
I'd take top end of league 2 or yoyo from 1 to 2. I don't expect us to be promoted to league 1 and not then have a relegation scrap. It's unrealistic


It's better to have a relegation scrap in L1 than L2.

I can only assume you are a relative youngster with no experience of big city teams regularly visiting BP.  Do you not envy Rotherham at the moment?  They have mouth-watering fixtures against Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, West Brom, Stoke etc.

I don't think it would be impossible to compete with half of League 1 - Fleetwood, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Wycombe, Leyton Orient, Burton and Stevenage would not be light years away from us in terms of budgets & attendances.


One would expect those teams to be replaced in L1 eventually by the likes of Swindon, Tranmere, Bradford, Doncaster, Wrexham and Notts County.  Maybe Southend and Oldham.

It's never really worked like that though has it , mainly due to the more well supported clubs being mismanaged and smaller clubs one way or another over achieving . For every Burton or Cheltenham there is a Reading or  Wigan . I can't see that changing anytime soon tbh.

Oh, come on.  Your associates don't know your Fishy moniker, do they?

There are, or were, four possibilities for a new stadium location: Freemo, old fish dock, Grimsby West or Peaks Parkway.  Which three of those is it not likely to be?

Or are you one of those people who would like the club to stay at Blundell Park?



feck me you are 1 boring fecker

Why does any stadium need "good motorways access" for God's sake?

I have never ever been to any stadium thinking now this better have good motorway access or I'm not going to the game and support my team.

Stadia in the UK are in all sorts of weird and wonderful locations.

That post is based on what, exactly? And Southend and Oldham?!? Yeah, right.
