'Voice your concerns on new Grimsby Town stadium plan', say councillors

“I can't believe there are so many against the new stadium. There are those that say, why not build it on the docks? Or why not Macaulay tip? Your forgetting about the retail company that the club has made clear that they want on board! The peak's park way project is just and idea, but you have to think about how to attract a retail company on board. And peaks park way would attract customers from places as far out as Louth, Waltham, Nunsthorpe, Scaffa, Humberstone, Cleethorpes, and even those that have said no to something they haven't thought about in my opinion, will be shopping there. So more likely to attract a retail company on board there than anywhere else in Grimsby or Cleethorpes. And these people that say no aren't just saying no to thier local football club moving forward to the 21st centary but also to jobs being created. This could also put other investors off comming to town. Why would any investor want to invest into a town where the people are never behind the projects. The allotments can be moved and updated have they not thought of this either? There is no reason why it shouldn't be there, after all if the stadium doesn't get built there we all know something else will. So why not something that could attract other investment into the town?”

“Well said Jezabel, I was going to post exactly the same regards ABP and the state of the docks, surely it is their responsiblity to maintain the area, I checked google maps the other day and with a few alterations to the railway which would be an ideal to provide a new station as opposed to Old Clee there is actually a very well placed spot there, as for ABP if they are not willing to maintain the area then surely they can donate a portion of land which has been stood derelict for years on end, 'their' supposed area which is actually our area is by far the most down trodden in the whole of Gy, it's about time they gave a little something back to the people, I will post more on this site when I have time.”

“The Dock area is a disgrace, this is where money should be spent. It could be made lovely down there, it's a massive amount of land, easy enough for not just a football stadium, but for retail outlets, bars, restaurants etc. Lets face it, Grimsby is awash with Kebab shops, pizza places & the same old pub grub. We need something new, more choice. Take a look around at many towns/cities & their marina's, even Hartlepool has a lovely marina!! I feel for anyone who has the threat of GTFC moving on their doorsteps, I was brought up very near to BP & it wasn't just the congested traffic, noise & sometimes fighting, but my dad was unable to move our car from as early as 9am on Saturday match days for fear of being unable to park our car when we got back unless we went out for the day & didn't come in till long after the match had finished. Surely the docks has got to be the only place for a stadium, straight off the A180, it has its own train stop, fans wouldn't even need to come into the town at all. Can you imagine on a Saturday match-day what Victoria St will be like if it was at the current propsed sight? ABP should be made accountable for letting the docks go to rack & ruin, it's worse then derelict, no-one else would get away with it!”

“If the club embraced its true Cleethorpes' identity, the fans could then join the Cleethorpes United Non-league Terracers Society...”

“Good morning Mally Smith 99

If you were to read my post a little more carefully you will see that I said Weelsby Ave and not Weelsby Road. I do hope that clears up your confusion a little bit.”

“FAO: Ernie Brown,

I actually voted for you when you was "Independent", but some of your posts on here and the other topic have left me bewildered, please try look at this from a totally neutral perspective.

I know you care about Grimsby as a Town, but instead of fighting against where the proposed site for the stadium is, why not come on board and help Grimsby Town find a far more suitable site? Also help on the eco side of things, saving energy, recycling of water, solar energy and various other things to make a new stadium stand out and help the enviroment at the same time? I guess you take no interest in football, but we took 18,000+ to 25,000+ to Wembley at 3 various times, and a new stadium does actually increase attendances and it really would be great for the community if it was placed in the right area for regeneration.

Maybe kill two things at once, you save the greenbelt area proposed and we still get a new stadium and you help with it, you would get alot of respect and admiration by Grimsby Town fans, I think you would be an ideal person to come on board - I can't speak for the majority of Grimsby fans, but I don't mind where we have a new stadium, I just wish somewhere could be found that would not upset hardly anyone.”

“jack_knife no i mean scaffa if u wanna call it sarrrthooo ur welcome to and stop bin piccy just because you think your better than every one else and take that knife and cut ur plats down and make the way to grimsby town new ground”

“Whatever is put in that location has to bennefit the immediate community and should be somehing that makes the properties in the area more sought after.Also something the immediate residents can also be proud of....i doubt hardly anybody would want one of these ugly modern service station's and a huge retail store.I want GTFC to to relocate there,but not like that.”

“I am for these proposal's,but one thing i will agree with is that i don't think we need another huge retail store...it should all be about entertainment and sports.I would have like to see a leisure complex capable of hosting a variety of different sports such as tennis,snooker,darts etc,etc.A Gym and fitness suite.A new state of the art swimming pool,bowling alley,cinema,theatre or auditorium,restaurant,carvery style pub with seperate bar area...all better idea's in my opinion.”

“ErnieBrown what a fraud its funny how he claims to have been down the streets off weelsby road and got everyone to sign it. I live off weelsby road and ive not seen him around. idiot.”
