Was at the Ricoh on Sunday and while there isn't any football being played there currently, it was a good insight in what can be done.  Casino, exhibition halls, hotel, coffee bar, plenty of parking, With a retail park next door.

Just a shame that in all honesty I can't see it ever happening for GTFC


But it's an identikit stadium that's been a financial disaster. Careful what you wish for.

Hi it's only me again!!

Public support is essential. See the link.

http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....17-detail/story.html

Articles 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.


Focus on putting right the mess you caused by your incompetence and get our club back into the Football League. Only then should you consider the prospect of a new stadium.


Up The Mariners!

Not for football reasons though. The council have a lot to answer for with regards to that

I don't want to stand in the toilets in the pontoon anymore with urine overflowing onto the floor all over my shoes.
I don't want to que up for a pie and tea at half time and have to watch part of the second half stood up when I've paid to sit in a seat.
I don't want to pay hard earned money to watch town play having to dodge my eyes round a metal stantion that's holding the roof up.
I know a lot of people that don't go anymore because of things like this, so yes we need a new home for the mariners and sooner the better IMHO

Of course I agree with you, but apart from the metal post those things can be easily remedied can't they?

This of course is another aspect to all this - 15 years of talk has led to allowing the current ground fall gradually into disrepair.

If we are looking at another 3,5 10 years or never, surely the owner has a duty to the fans to tackle  the things you mentioned?

Power washing the front façade would make the place look a whole lot better for a start.

Well unless we start polishing sharpish, what is it going to be like in 10 years????

That's unless you believe we will be moving into a brand new shiny fentydome in 2017.

Unless we do something until if and when we move, then its going to more difficult to attract fans or players isn't it?

Mr Fenty - if the new ground doesn't offer this facility then I'm not going!
