As a Town fan living in Immingham im conflicted. On the one hand it would be nice to have the lads training close by but on the other hand I'd rather see the site used for the Immingham community as the youngsters don't have an awful lot in Immingham.


but 1 of the guiding principles behind the new training facility is that it would be available for use by the community. Problem (half) solved?

Immingham would cut down on player commuting time, you'd be surprised how long it takes to get from Immingham to Cheapside.

Brilliant if it is true. I think the club has to think of the wider NE Lincs area and it is an easy commute.

The smell of pure sulphur from the refinery will do wonders for the players lungs


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

When you actually think about it, Immingham addresses concerns from some fans that our  training ground should be out of town, whilst also meeting the board requirement of remaining in North East Lincolnshire. Grimsby has quite a lot for young people to do compared to Immingham, and the club want the training ground to be at the heart of a community.

In terms of distance, Google Maps says it takes about 40 minutes from the services at the top of 180 to get to Immingham Golf Club. Cheapside is 55 minutes, without congestion. That's saving players 30 minutes a day, 2+ hours a week (based on 4 days training).

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY
I think was rumoured just before Christmas. Would be a good option if true. Must be one hell of a big space to fill though.


Keep the back 9 and give the players a private golf course, a la Leicester’s new facility. I’m not even joking; when you’re an unfashionable club stuck out on a limb on the east coast, you’ve got to take every marginal gain you can get.

It would take some serious money to recover the back 9 . The site is pretty much an overgrown field now

Ive lived in Habrough for 40 years and the smells are a thing of the distant past.

Immingham itself has improved enormously over the years and this would be another fillip if true.

Get them in an extra day after a loss, we'd shoot up the table.

Hardly a community hub for GY, if it's to be in Immingham.

Doesn't make sense to me.


It looks good but it is not what we have been led to believe. 1878 said they wanted a training ground in Grimsby. This would be for the club and community. This site is not within the Grimsby boundary and is a fair distance for Grimsby folk to travel. Also we we were led to believe that a Parish Council was holding the job up, Immingham has a Town Council.


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