Are we anywhere nearer a new ground than we were 20 years ago?


Got no plans drawn up, don't know where it can be built, don't know where the money to pay for it is coming from......so I would say no

The houses were there before the ground which was moved from the Park Street area in 1899.

I did a quick check in the Dowling book on the development of Cleethorpes, and it shows the area bordered by what is now the Osmond Stand down to Warneford Road, and Grimsby Road to the railway was undeveloped as late as 1906.

Bob Lincoln said that the club had the chance of buying enough land not only for the football ground, but also for a cricket pitch, tennis courts etc. The proposal from some directors was to acquire the lease for the whole area and do just that, but in what Lincoln called short-sightedness, the board voted to the just buy the lease for enough land for the football ground. If this was correct we would have been able to redevelop in the BP area.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That's reflected in the house styles. Up to Manchester Street they are Victorian terraced but parts of Manchester Street, all of Warneford Road and Oliver Street, the houses are more Edwardian in style.

Dam straight.

I blame Fenty for Mars slowing losing its atmosphere these last couple of million years.

Used to be a cracking atmosphere there. Now it's dead but the Martians' away following is great - that "oh laa!" chant is awesome
