Is John Fenty going to be the person that stops the club being at the heart of the region’s most transformational, forward-thinking regeneration project for decades, consigning us to a concrete bowl in the middle of nowhere next door to a Burger King and a Harvester?

Time to swallow some pride JF. If you can’t get behind this project then vacate your office and hand the keys to someone who will push us forward, not drag us backwards.

Fenty is not interested in whats good for Grimsby or the Club. What is good for his back pocket far more important and the fact he doesn't want to jump on board with this fantastic regeneration project is nothing short of sickening. For a 'mere custodian' extraordinary selfish and detrimental to the Club, the community, the area and the vision to regenerate with GTFC the focal point.

Why not  have the training pitches, ice rink and enabling (*cough* opportunity to make money back plus some and ride off into the sunset) development elsewhere if it really is so necessary? Let the Club be at the hub of the community not whacked out in some brown field and us stuck with it for generations just because one man saw dollar signs.

Yep. Not to mention he'd be building a lot of bridges with a huge faction of our support. Bridges that many of us thought were burnt beyond repair a long time ago. The optimist in me sees the small glimmers of positivity starting to shine through in recent months and wants to attribute that in part to a change in JF's stance on certain issues.

Maybe a really big opportunity to let him know on 19th February?

Jeez, none of even know what the financial proposition is, so a bit early to be knocking JF. Would you be saying the same if the rent was going to cripple the club going forward?

I totally agree the council and the Freeman can propose all of this but no one including the Freeman and NELC  have not mentioned how or who will pay for it. There is no grants or magical pots of money to build the stadium and with no prospect of a enabling development this is a dead duck. I know for a fact JF would be happy for it to be built anywhere if the funding could be found

Well, rather than hear it from his spokesman, it would be nice to hear it from the man himself.

Isn't the Ibis hotel an enabling development?

Quoted from MuddyWaters

And I was looking forward to singing 'walking to the Fentydome...to see the Jolley's aces....'

Nah - I wasn't really  

JF does want out doesn't he? So why would he care where its built, ah unless he gets him 2 mill
