A Cleethorpes Councillor has made a suggestion:
http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....01-detail/story.html

Discuss.  

Why hasn't he involved the Mariners Trust, at least not as far as I can tell from the article?
(i suppose, clutching at straws, the Trust will have some involvement in debate at Board level)

Have I missed this issue on here or does he not realise the role of the Trust, and for that matter the Fishy, even Facebook and Twitter in all things GTFC?!!?!?

He has contacted the Trust through our enquiries address.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

What's this legacy the councillor is banging on about? Also maybe I'm a cynic but I don't see a statue of a former director inspiring kids.

Might be more appropriate than a Michael Jackson statue at a football ground though.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

If there was to be a statue at the new stadium, I'd personally prefer to see one of Sir Alan over anyone else.

When I was a young lad Arthur Drewry was in a very important position with FIFA,

I am surprised he has not been honoured in some way by the club,

Maybe a stand in the new stadium could be names after him or some part of the ground would have a plaque placed somewhere prominent .

I agree with Bax a statue of Alan Buckley would be great.

I remember Arthur Drewry being guest of honour at my school Speech Day.
Unfortunately this coincided with a rather virulent Asian Flu epidemic.
This decimated school attendances,but I escaped until the day before,so I sadly missed seeing
him. Must be one of the few days I would rather have been at school than at home!

Surely you're not telling me you would sooner have a statue at the new stadium of Sir Alan  rather than one of Mr.De'freitas stood proudly at the main entrance ,  I would prefer to see framed photos of De'freitas pinned up in every one of the mens urinals.  UTM..
