Labour hate successful businessmen and they hate Tories , Do you really think they'd ever help Fenty or the Town get what they want ?
She and the Labour council are playing politics with our club


She can play with my politics all she likes!

Is she against the idea because of JF being a Tory or the fact it will detract from shops in and around freshney place? So she is also against redevelopment and relocation of the surrounding suburbs that lie outside of the town. Will be interesting to see her views on any further planning applications.

The Football club is hardly at the top of the list of problems that a politician has to try and sort out in GY.


10,000 people off to Wembley, many others unable to go for varying reasons - at least 10% of the population care about the club; pretty big issue.

If she got the club a new ground sorted she'd get quite a few extra votes.

IMO Town centre shopping like Freshney Place is dying out and clinging on to half empty shops, with many poundshop/charity shops shows were it is heading.

Like it or not more and more people are using internet shopping, with less need for a High St/Town centre presence especially at the sky high rents.

Town centres need to move with the times and become a focus for leisure with bars/restaurants etc.

For me any new ground needs to be easily accessible to more fans, that is why Great Coates, IMO. was a great escape.

You probably don't read what I write on a matter of principle. Perhaps if I use capital letters your attention may be drawn to it.

IT WAS A LABOUR CABINET DECISION TO OFFER THE PEAKS PARKWAY SITE TO GTFC...

I'm a supporter of the new ground site to the point where it actually cost me votes in the recent council elections but I have to say that if my experience is anything to go by opinion is very divided amongst actual fans as to whether the Parkway site is the best. I had season ticket holders on their doorsteps telling me it was a bad idea!
I agree 100% with your view that it is a big issue and I predict as things progress it will get bigger with opinions hardening on both sides of the argument.

...So, therefore it might be possible to argue that since more and more people access sports and games through the internet and TV that there is less need for an actual physical football team in or around Grimsby to cater for we mere 5,000 or so hardy souls?


That semi-serious point aside, I agree that parking and access is a huge issue for all retail and leisure activities these days, but inventive thinking could possibly address that by using the area around the railway lines and old sidings between BP, the river and the docks.

If she wasn't pro-stadium before I reckon she will be now a load of anonymous men on a football forum have expressed sexual interest in her. We should have tried this with Austin Mitchell.
