The gates show how football attendance has fallen since I first went, 1970, in those days it was roughly 8-10% of a town's population, now its less then 5. Yet up in the premiership nearly every game is a sell out.

I don't know. If the figure of 27% bandied about on here for the local turnout, 2% is worth chasing. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

If they actually wanted it at Freemo and believed it in they would say so quite categorically.

So it kind of suggests that if anything is going to happen, it will be there. As you say, however, that doesn't mean anything will actually happen.

I don`t know if it`s the right location commercially for the Football Club but it`s certainly right for OUR Town and the people of the Town. The Council sound like they are on board and going back 10 or so year`s the much maligned Councillor De Freitas (Lib Dem) stood on my doorstep and said he would back it down Freemo. Roy Oxby (Lab) said the same in the papers and now Conservatives saying the same. Just get on with it please FFS

Fookin embarrassing, no wonder were the tin pot of Lincolnshire. In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD

Fookin embarrassing, no wonder were the tin pot of Lincolnshire. The link you supplied was for York City and if you read the details this is more down to York City Council than anything else. The new ground is for both the football club and rugby club. It also includes leisure facilities including a swimming pool. N.E Lincs Council already have these kind of facilities but have been very short-sighted in not including the recent replacement of the swimming pool in a community based complex that could have include a community stadium for GTFC. The main advantage that York Council seem to have is a forward thinking approach whereas NE Lincs is very backward or static at best. The Future is Black & White.
