Got shot down in flames when I commented on this topic on another thread. This process is already a way down the line and the ground will be built on the flats. The East Marsh is one of the most deprived wards in the country never mind the county and is awash with funding to support the project. Most importantly there is a strong will within NELC

I love the idea of a mixture of business incubation units, small retail, conference and residential all being built into the stadium itself. This would create a living 24/7/365 facility, which is in itself a thriving community. How exciting and refreshing to see what sounds like a 21st century development!

It's all a lovely dream bud, how on earth does the 70s throwback get his money back if he has no hold on the club??....until the one man gets his coin back or is involved in a back street deal( sorry, I meant enabling project) then we ain't going nowhere and that's nowhere fast I'm afraid...

But surely that would take agreement from the board of GTFC? NELC can't just build a ground and expect GTFC to move there. For this to be the definite project you are suggesting, would imply that GTFC have already agreed to it. That's not the impression we got from the statements last week.

To be honest, I haven't trawled through the previous 7658 pages of the thread. Just relaying my understanding of the current situation.

The Bevan/Pontoon Stand The Thesiger/Garribaldi Main Stand The Nelson/Tennyson Family Stand The Albion away supporters Stand McMenemies to be incorporated in the plans The world famous Pea Bung Chippy serving home and away fans alike, situated under the Family Stand In recogniotion of JF'S contribution: The John Fenty banqueting suite And a busque outside the new ground to celebrate the man who gave us some of our finest and greatest moments in football. Alan Buckley. Bob, can we fix it? Can we make Grimsby GREAT again?

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Why on earth should anything be named after John Fenty. He has overseen the biggest downturn in the history of GTFC. There are many people who have been associated with GTFC that are far more deserving.

Bill Shankly, Dudley Ramsden, Alan Buckley, Lawrie Mcmenemy, and.....Mighty Mariner.... Could have a big wooden spoon carved as an effigy of JF.....

Naming the gents in the Main Stand after him would seem fair.

That would be fair; if we had a pot to urine in!
