Encyclopedia
Great Coates is a village and civil parish
in North East Lincolnshire
, England. It is to the north-west of the Grimsby
urban area, and is served by Great Coates railway station
. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,111.
.
Its eastern boundary with Little Coates
civil parish (which merged with Grimsby in 1928) was formed by the River Freshney and included the area that is now the Willows and Wybers Wood estates. In 1928 and 1958 parts of Great Coates parish were allocated to Grimsby, and in 1968 Great Coates village itself was absorbed, its civil parish council being abolished. Other parts were merged with Healing
parish. The parish was re-established (excluding Willows and Wybers Wood) in April 2003.
The project name for the stadium is "Conoco Stadium". In 2002, Conoco merged with fellow oil giant Phillips to become ConocoPhillips
. There has been no comment or commitment of funds towards the project by ConocoPhillips
since its formation. The stadium was first proposed during the late 1990s, and it was hoped that the stadium would be ready by August 2002. But a succession of obstacles have delayed the commencement of the stadium's construction and, with Grimsby Town having been relegated from The Football League to the Blue Square Premier Division at the end of the 2009-10 football season, there is currently little pressure for a new larger stadium.
