Quoted from Mrs Doyle
Think Fenty will (and rightly so) want assurances from the freemans? that money and investment will be guaranteed to help fund a new stadium. So far we have all seen the lovely images of what could be but nobody as really talked about who or where the considerable amount of money will be coming from.


JF whatever people think is duty bound to make this move the right one for the Club and that largely revolves around finances. This would be easier than you think to just dive in and erect a gound to play football in the problem is what happens next? I think someone else other than GTFC will pay to build the actual ground and GTFC will then pay it back over so many year`s if for example that`s the Council that`s fine in so much they can justify the actual spend. GTFC would need to be able to guarantee they could pay back x amount a year to secure the deal whilst at the same time maintaining a competitive squad for the league they are in . A new ground would see fan`s expectations rise and taking Lincoln as an example if we saw our crowds double/treble they would demand play offs within 2 years. None of this should be something the Club are fearful of but they would need to exercise caution whilst at the same time expressing some long overdue ambition and `i`m not talking just Fenty it`s lacked ambition since 1981.

Trying to think if any other club has built a new stadium within the boundaries of a Town/City which have benefiitted from the resulting regeneration. Can only really come up with out of town retail/industrial parks?

Everton's planned new ground is also planned for an old docks area whilst Brentford's is going to be right by Kew Bridge in an area of industrial desolation..How about Rotherham, Millwall,southampton, Boro and Sunderland's Stadium of Shite ?

Think chesterfields new ground cost around 12 million ( pretty sure someone will correct me ) surely we can get 7/8 large companies to offset some of there tax payments to have naming rights

Pride Park Derby?

That seemed to have built up tremendously from my original visit with Town and seemed to have a bit of allsorts around it.

Yeah some good calls there. Particuarly Southampton which if i remember now right is a mixture of retail and new housing developments.
Fingers crossed we can join that list. Its so obvious that it would be a travesty if we missed the opportunity!

We can apply for funding from the FA and various agencies and as mentioned above we should be pro-active approaching big global organisations with a view to partner up with them.

With a little bit of work and effort the funding can be found.

I repeat what I said the other day, we need a statement from the Trust publicly backing a new stadium at Freeman Street.

This.

Anything at all that can increase the pressure on Fenty. It won't count for much of course as Fenty never takes any notice of the Trust and they carry no weight at all in reality but every little helps and the Trust are of course supposed to represent the fans and their loyalties are supposed to lie with them not the board, unless of course they don't have the balls to stand up to Fenty. Come out and publicly disagree with him just this once please.

Could say the same about Glanford Park.   There was nothing around there when it was first built, now it's one of the (if not the) busiest areas in Scunthorpe.
