Relocation.

If this stadium doesn't go ahead, it'll be the town going even further down that steep slope. I'm proud to say I'm from Grimsby, when I was growing up it was a nice place to live, that was on the west marsh, now I wouldn't even walk through most of it, I always try and pick out the positives with this town but now I'm starting to struggle :/, here's to praying it happens!!

UTM!

Councillors in York have voted to borrow an extra £4m to keep plans for a community sports facility on track.

Can you imagine our Council doing this for Grimsby Town lol

Quoted from BBC News | 11th October 2014

City of York Council said in September it needed further funding to help build a leisure complex at the facility.

It gave plans to borrow another £4m the go-ahead at a meeting on Thursday night.

The total cost of the site is £37m and is part-funded by the council, with the rest coming from grants and revenue from commercial developments.

In short, no. I can't imagine N E Lincs council doing anything remotely positive while the abrasive, and quite frankly arrogant Chris Shaw is the leader. How on earth he won an election I will never understand. Then of course we have our good friend Mr De Freitas, his only contribution to the area is the £7m he lost in that Icelandic Bank.

Don't forgot the lovely Ella Henderson Pete!

I like Ella but to be honest I have not heard of her down here in Suffolk since the X factor.

BUT

Kevin is on every week on Strickly.

With regards to Novartis - I believe all the sites on the bank collaborate together and assess the impact of a major incident. Potentially having to evacuate anywhere between 2,000-10,000 people is never going to be entertained.

It's amazing how the backwards thinking the town is, any other development in the country would have no issue getting rid of a few allotments. These people live in the centre of a town, if you want to grow crops then go live in the bleeding countryside. The world is expanding, having anything green in the centre of anywhere with more than 1,000 residents is going to get ripped up one day - sad fact of life, but true.

On the other hand the new stadium will not only secure jobs for those working directly for the club and sub-contractors that the club use, these employees wages will be fed back into the local economy. The stadium itself I assume will create more jobs due to the increased size. The development will incorporate other aspects I assume e.g. shops etc, more jobs. It's an enabler for community schemes - the club are very good at interaction with the people of the town, particularly children. The stadium will also in time, whether the club like it or not, for music/entertainment events - it's a good money spinner for the club and it also brings in people from outside the town spending money here, which is a good thing.

Back to the football side, but sticking on the topic of visitors to the town; if I were an away fan I'd rather visit a new stadium than BP. Don't care what you say about nostalgic value but the away attendances are a pittance, they are not going to drastically increase with promotion. There's nothing around the ground for away fans, nothing in the ground.

It's also unreasonable to expect any business to reside somewhere the age of BP - the main stand being wooden is embarrassing these days, it's not even mentioned when we're in the national press any more.

Just stick an olympic sized swimming pool in the car park, call it scartho baths 2 and we'll be fine.

How do you get red crosses for telling Mr Fenty you've PMd him?

How do you get red crosses for telling Mr Fenty you've PMd him?

Maybe somebody does not like you.

Ignore them mate, some on here just like ticking the red box.

I got one for saying I have not heard anything of Ella Henderson since the  x factor,

How does he or she know what I have heard ?

Quoted from Chrisblor

That Kevin bloke off the dancing programme is a bloody Scunthorpe supporter anyway, so he can get copulated.

But he did give steels fish restaurant massive free publicity on the show  

Most fans agree that the club needs to move ASAP.  Where, who knows, but will support the move whatever.  It should be supported by the council, no doubting that, but you have to ask why are they not supporting the club, or it just John Fenty they don't support? Maybe.  I do not support UKIP at all, but to dismiss their new ground proposal as nonsense is as usual, foolish from John.  It's across the road from Great Coates, so why would it not suit an anchor tenant, like that site proposed?  You cannot just dismiss it outright, or is this just political scoring from Lord Fenty? This is a community stadium and new home for GTFC we are talking about and all locations and support must be considered until it becomes a reality.  It will never happen whilst John is involved, simple as!

It's in an health and safety exclusion zone. That's why.
