Don't worry, it'll be another terrible ground for them. It looks soulless and half-arsed. Plus the huge gap between the seating and the roof won't create any atmosphere. In my opinion, it's a sparkly new Glumford.

Scunny and Hull having new grounds will hopefully help ours get the necessary planning permission when it eventually gets to that stage

I thought that too, I just don't think it will be in the next 10 years, hope that I am wrong.

IMO the biggest obstacle are the Councillors who continue to hold back the area despite opportunities to bring Grimsby and surrounding area's kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Not just regarding the ground issue, but they appear hell bent on looking for reasons why things shouldn't be done rather in how obstacles can be overcome.

All local Town fans should be asking questions of their prospective councillors for the forthcoming elections to see if they have an open mind about the feasibility study, or have already made their minds up to object, even before they know what they are objecting to.

If the ground issue is important to you, then ask the question, and vote accordingly

Can't think that would make a difference - they have different councils to us.They seem to have councils that look to the future while ours can only see the past! Even a lot of our fans don't want to leave BP. It's not as if we have a decent ground with a great atmosphere. BP is a relic of a bygone age and the sooner it is gone the better but I can't see this happening in this economic climate and especially with this council.

Their ground is on a prime retail site , so don't know how much they will get for it . Sad thing is their crowds are very poor for a team in their position . Twelve thousand seater stadium only a quarter full moving further away from the town .

That said , progressive chairman , council for the move to bring more retail into that area . Ashby high street is dieing so shops will move there into a village style complex .

What have we got ? Super new pathway already falling apart , a bus station and a one way system of chaos . Failure to bring investment into the town , but we have got " Skint " to look forward to .

You forgot the super slippy fally over and then sandpapery leg gashing new leisure centre pool side floor.

On the plus side off shore wind investment in the Town is promising and we're getting a new cinema complex to boot.

Another cinema venue? What a waste of money, don't even fill the current one.
