Keep up the good work John. We can all make this happen

Do these things really get decided on the back of a few internet comments?

I am getting fed up of showing support for a new stadium, but once again I'll do my bit.

I am getting fed up of showing support for a new stadium, but once again I'll do my bit.

I'm getting fed up of us playing in this league with our increasingly sub-standard facilities but I will do my bit also.

I'm not being funny John, but I'm starting to run out of steam with this whole stadium malarkey, I so want this to happen there is only so many times I can scream at them about the project.  No matter what we put on that site, the nimbys WILL always oppose with whatever bolloxs they feel like putting.  At the end of the day GTFC has been associated with Great Grimsby since 1878 and if anyone has a say its the bloody club.  All these Nimbys saying don't build on greenfield sites, what the hell do they think there house was built on, im sure it was the same back then when the houses were built.

When will you be putting to the council? what stage are we at with the new stadium?

Meza,

"Steam" so am I. But i am abundantly aware that if the council are to assist then relentless support is essential.

I am afraid the opposition have the biggest say ATM and that will for sure influence if unchecked. Being in politics I have seen how it works.

Were nowhere without agreeing a basis for land transfer. That's on the agenda and the next step.

Afraid it's one step at a time. Every GET article needs your support that's for sure. A few to role in the next few days I hope.

Keep up the good work!  Huge thanks to everyone who's grafting to get this through.  We really do need it.  As an Exile living 100's of miles away, I wish I could do more myself.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned too much is how many long term and short term jobs this will create.  Is that an angle we can hammer home?  

Actually, a second thing, some of the objections are about low attendances at present and unruly fans. I'm sure I read somewhere a few years ago that the new stadia with improved facilities encouraged more families to go to games.  As a result, the general demographic of fans changed and this lead to higher gates but fewer instances of trouble.

The point about the employment is a good one, coupled with the fact that the club itself employs as many people as a medium sized factory. The location of the ground will make it harder for unruly elements to cause problems especially the away club fans.
