Fwiw a relative of mine who moves in relatively exalted circles was telling me of some stuff he's been told.haven't got any evidence to back this up but equally he doesn't bullshiite . Firstly he's friends with someone who is v. Close to the Ashley family and there is nothing at present coming out of them regarding town. However his info was that there was a gent who came from gy had made an absolute mint in the city who was prepared to invest, not because he loved gtf c but wanted to give something back to the town. With regards to the stadium her also heard that if the redevelopment of Freemo went ahead network rail were prepared to bring Gy docks station up to an appropriate standard. Furthermore on the back of that news apparently ABP had unexpectedly then offered to sell some land in order to assist. Again i stress that this is just stuff he's been told but I wonder if this chimed with anything else that anyone's heard?

There was a rumour on here a while back about Ashley's brother living local and willing to invest , If that happens we should start singing for his brother to invest as well. " you fat illegitimate come into our town " maybe not

It`s all gone very quiet last 3-4 Months which in my experience is actually a good thing and means something is happening behind the scenes. Oddly enough me being one of Fenty`s critics I actually hope he is involved in anything stadium related I think he would be invaluable highlighting the shortfalls of BP etc.

I've not really posted anything about the stadium rumours, given the history. And I've tried to keep a lid on it.
But there's something about Grimsby Docks railway station being the stop for GTFC which is just so right.
I dunno why this particular aspect has struck a chord with me.

They’ll make a few bob at home to Leeds last game of the season. Talk of giving Leeds 10,000 tickets to save a plod nightmare. Should the results go wrong though it will cost a fortune in repairs !!

I have a recurring dream. I win 75million on the EuroLottery and contact Town but I have to convince the management I am not a foreign money launderer. That done, I offer £50 million to get the club on its feet and build a new stadium. No silly wages but good enough to attract some top players to get us promoted. MJ to stay as the manager as a reward for his good work but he will need to deliver the results. I would settle for mid table in the Championship as the ultimate aim. A dream but surely if the likes of Rotherham and Doncaster can do it why can't we? You never know.

But who would you get in to run the club ie Chief Executive?
