Grimsby Town have announced plans to leave Blundell Park after 115 years. The new ground at Peaks Parkway, just under three miles away, could be linked with supermarket and housing developments. The club argues that they do not have a sustainable future at Blundell Park.
An online petition set up by supporters in favour of the move has received over 5,000 signatures, but not all fans are enthusiastic. Some argue that a new stadium should not be built near a crematorium, hospice and hospital.

The new stadium would have a 12,000-14,000 capacity with York City’s new stadium at Monk’s Cross seen as a possible model.
