Looks great and I hope it comes to fruition but how many times have we seen plans for various projects emblazoned across the front page of the GT only to see nothing come of them?


Sadly too many "nimbys" , short sighted people and others who don't want any kind of change, stifle most visionary concepts for the town.

I thought the docks would have been ideal to have our new stadium built.

I am happy if the park is upgraded and can hold 12.000 ish.

Whatever happens I will not see it as I have watched my last live game live because of health problems.

Glad to see the Bradford game on Sky at least I can watch that and hopefully a few more in the coming seasons.

It certainly wasnt in the early 90's when i was down there... (however im not saying you are wrong)

Im on the Grimsby fishing history pages and the whole Kasbah discussion has regular arguments.

I would say about 99% of people on those pages have'nt heard of it either....its bizarre...


I was working down there 92-96 and never heard it called that.
People was still calling the Jubilee Cafe Cannings too so it’s not like they ever forgot old Dock names

My 94 year old mother worked on the docks in the 1940’s and 50’s for H Mudd & Son so I asked her about the Kasbah. Never heard of it. It does seem to be a modern concoction.

So this thread has just prompted me to phone my dad and interrupt his evening telly!

He worked on the docks from when he was 15 to 75. He’s now 87, with a dodgy memory, but says it was never called the kasbah in all his years down there as far as he can remember.

Good enough for me!

Oh, and I spent a good few years working intermittently down there between 90-98 and don’t remember it either.

Hope this a positive move for the town. As has already been said, the town needs (and deserves) better in term of investment and development.
