Err.............Nah don't think so anything that would provide a viable exit strategy would be pursued if you ask me just a thought.
I dont understand what you are getting at. From where I am standing Scunthorpe seem a club on the up thanks to an energetic (not in changing the floodlight bulbs sort of way) and rich chairman who has the nous and influence to get things moving - why didnt he come here

They have what we don't. a dynamic chairman who is making things happen.
I think that's pretty hard on Fenty myself. He could be blamed for many things but it's the councuil that needs to take the blame where the stadium is concerned, Fenty is putting up proposals, the council are not backing it.... they seem to be holding the area back.
Is Fenty the Chairman, when did that happen, I thought the current chair was vacant, hence my statement.I do agree in some way that GTFC council are part to blame but not building on our successes at Wembley was GTFC's biggest mistake, that Neweel and Woods.

Was he Chairman then, I don't remember any embarrassing dancing or being carried on the shoulders of anyone

Everything I've read in the press suggests that the Council are fully behind this project? IMO the council-run by De Freitas's mates were wholly responsible for the crash and burn of the Great Coates project-all for a few votes....

Didn't Huxford and co. take over under bad feelings from the great Bill Carr and co. promised the earth and delivered Lenny Lawrence and a Chinese international?

I certainly know that is true regarding the Council, I have been there and seen it myself there is a genuine lack of support coming in Grimsby Towns direction regarding the permission to build a new ground. The lack of support hopefully is beginning to change I await this new year with hope that certain people will go and back Town further. After all Scunthorpe are now planning there second new ground in about fifteen years,they can see that you cannot stand still regarding new football grounds. Dave Boylen

GY council should hang their heads in shame . GTFC are a pillar of the community and have been for 130 years , bringing hundreds of thousands of people together over this period , yet can't even help find the club 20 odd acres for their future .
Well said,could not agree with you more Dave Boylen
