Quoted from Limerick Mariner
Smaller version of Brighton then - hadn’t appreciated how close it was to Oxford Parkway station.

Greenfield site but with plenty of local facilities to be provided - looks a winner for Oxford, very high property value area and the other development will help fund it.


Yeah, I’m no great fan of out of town grounds but like Brighton, the cost and availability of land in their respective city centres made / makes doing something there virtually impossible. Provided the necessary transport links are in place, it’s the next best thing.

Still, those things not being true in Grimsby, should we ever find ourselves in a position to relocate, it has to be central and regenerative. That’s a hypothetical problem only, though, at this moment in time.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Agree completely. This route works for wealthy southern towns and cities. If a new stadium ever comes to pass - we need to be Burnley not Brighton…

That tree branch tunnel is interesting, if seemingly a bit pointless.

Considering how some of our fans froth at the mouth because FGR don't sell meat filled pies with meat gravy and meat as a side, with the Rawhide of a live cow as packaging, I can't imagine it would go down well here.

Great news for Oxford.  It genuinely looks incredible.  







So bloody jealous.

If it is 2226 then none of us need an opinion on it as we will all be 6 foot under or scattered to the wind

Would assume the cost of land is slightly more expensive then north east Lincolnshire, so I presume it would be cheaper up here.
