Quoted from rancido



Would that be the 2 million he lent the club to keep it going? Prior to JF coming on the scene the only person I know of in the whole history of GTFC to lend the club any money was DR .And allegedly , he wanted it paying back immediately once he left the club. I also don't know of anybody in our history , before JF , who gifted the club any large sums of money either. The money for the Pontoon Stand, Joe Waters and Ivano all came from the supporters - no Chairmen or Board members stumping up the cash then ( either loans or gifts ).


That 2 million has led to the most miserable era our club has ever suffered, both in terms of results and performance and cost us far more in lost revenue. I suppose you’ve noticed?

The council want it, the freeman want it and it’s clearly the best thing for the Club and the Town.
If the club can’t get on board with this then something is very wrong.

The A180 would be a travesty.

Post Fenty we've certainly lost millions from Mike Parker and even McMullens. Not to mention the unnamed investors who believe he impossible to work with or his demands unfair.

But of course you are neutral so you would have come to that shortly.

I'm sure I heard on Radio Humberside a couple of days ago a chap from the council mentioned there is at least one other possible site that may be available other than Freeman Street but that P.P. was a non starter.

I want the Freemo stadium so bad, i can almost taste it. It just feels so right in every respect to put it right at the heart of the community, within site of the docks, in an area that many thousands of Fishermen spent their hard earned money in the pubs and clubs, including many members of my family. Every conceivable effort should be made to make this happen.

Please not on the A180. Couldn't think of anywhere worse.

The problem is, if we only rent this stadium re football, where does the clubs additional revenue come from as surely other events would be run by the council/specially created local quango.

Why do people make out we were in some kind of £3m-sized hole and Fenty bunged the cash in and saved us? From memory, so correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t we have a £700k tax bill that Fenty negotiated a payback schedule for, and the rest of these loans have come about because of his own inability to run the business competently?
