Clubs Relocation

John Fenty coming on The Fishy is a fantastic idea. It gives us more of a voice and a chance to get across our views in a civilised one. I've only seen one poster spouting off but you get idiots everywhere I suppose.
End of the day, and I don't want this to turn into a massive topic about John either, he's made mistakes along the way, he'll be the first to admit that. But he can't change whats being and gone and neither can we. The only way we will ever get back to where we belong is by all pulling together. The way I see it, we all want the same thing, a successful football club.

UTM!

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?

We have a ground with 1 good stand. 1 ok stand and 2 conjoined stands that would need to be rebuilt IF we didn't get the new ground. This would cost a fortune and that is why the new ground IS the only way forward.

Quoted from Abdul19

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

You might like pi$$ over the floor! I don't . Plus the smell is embedded into the concrete floor, but if you live like an animal, that's fine

No one is disputing that.

We cannot just sit back though and do NOTHING to Blundell Park though can we?

I am not talking about rebuilding the ground, but plumbing and catering and cleanliness should be addressed don't you think?

The new stadium is obviously years away, if it is ever built, so some  housekeeping now so that it looks clean and people aren't standing in urine is a minimum requirement surely?

Exactly my point

Quoted from davmariner

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.

Are you one of the six or number seven, Fenty has been honest enough to expose himself to us, he is also giving us information that most of us want to know, idiots like you will just put him into hiding, this is a great thread and something we can all help with.

Idiots like me? I'm a fan expressing an opinion as I'm fully entitled to. People like you ruin this forum. I respect the opinions that differ to my own and I don't insult people who disagree with me.

How about you 'gimp off', learn some manners and come back when you're willing to debate the issue like an adult as other people have.

Quoted from ackomariner

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

I agree with you with regard to a need for a stadium but for me it's a case of not until we are in the Football League.

The longer we are in this league, the harder it will be to attract the fanbase to justify it. One might argue that there is scope for greater income. My argument is mismanagement has significantly depleted our commercial income streams by being in this league. If we sort things out and regain the money that we used to get from being in the football league, the deficit wouldn't be as big as it is now anyway.

Sort things out on the pitch first and lets get out of this league.

For the avoidance of confusion Mr Fenty, I'm talking about mismanagement in the last two years that we were in the Football League on the football side of things.

Err?
