It saddens me to think there won't be a new stadium especially when we are desperately in need of one. Another thing that annoys me is those that want the move were is their support from the councillors or does representing fans not count. It sounds to me that the fans dont have a voice and not one councillor that should represent them are doing there job from what I can see. The only way we can be heard is a protest in the town centre outside the town hall.
does that make sense. They listen to residents but not the fans, and at the end of the day we fans enjoy days out at BP its the only recreational thing I have left or that im interested in.
So Councillors wheres my representation??
What we need to do is get people to write to local representatives. Councillors will be getting a fair few letters from NIMBY's who have little idea what football is, so their voice will be loudest. However if every Town fan wrote a letter/email to the Councillors then they would start paying more attention to Town fans. If someone could spare the time or if the club and John Fenty could provide a list of Councillors to and everyone on here could write to them it might help. Someone could even draft a general letter to send which people could just edit slightly so there is a bit of difference in the letters. A petition is good after all but it is a very easy action to do to sign one, if people are writing letters and emails it means they care more about the issue and it is more likely to effect their vote, in which case it is going to be an issue that people will look at more closely. Any voulanteers for providing a list and a draft letter for people to send?

Hi it's only me again!! Public support is essential. See the link. http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....17-detail/story.htmlArticles like this need sensible and appropriate responses. I would suggest the points in the only comments left on the article are a good start. Bury as an example have a stand named the cemetery end. Yes that is because they are adjacent to a cemetery along with many other stadia. As is Stamford bridge to name another Watford FC and a long list of other clubs. Politicians listen to those that have the biggest voice and they follow comment on the tell wags website. Please keep it sensible and do comment. Don't forget to ask aunties uncles and all the family and friends to sign the petition for support. It's no joke we need to crank up support for relocation. 5000 signatures is hopeless. Ideas welcome to the Club and MT UTM and here's to the future.
Could the Trust be at turnstiles in away stand prior to kick off get them to sign (free Admission for those volunteering). A new ground will benefit away fans too! Can we also get links on other teams message boards getting them to sign? Genuine football fans will help other teams fans when needed?

Anyone know the exact distance between the proposed site for the new stadium and the cemetery?

Well this is Leeds Utd to the nearest cemetery, I'm going to go through every club in the league, thats within the same distances as our proposed new ground. 0.25 miles = Grimsby Town (New Stadium) 0.50 miles = Leeds United (Elland Road)

Agree Meza. Another gripe is, all these people who are so against us, I wonder how many of them rock up to Wembley for a day out when we do get some success.
I would bet all the councilors do,on a freeby,at our expense.

Sincil Bank is only 0.6 mile from Lincoln's cemetary/crem. There's a bowling Alley right next door to the crem, only a matter of a few yards away.Open 7 days a week 9am to 11.30pm.

That's a very good point. It worked for me when I was a NIMBY many years ago.

Maybe it shouldn't be said, but does anyone get the feeling it will never be built?? We wouldn't want Grimsby having things that other Towns the same size have had for years...Football stadium...Cinema...Decent leisure center....sorry for moaning been out for a drink lol
