I don't think the new owners will start spunking loads of cash about, and I'm fine with that. An end to the penny pinching false economy approach, and showing a modicum of ambition/funding to genuinley improve all aspects of the club year-on-year would be fine by me.
It would also be nice to have a core group of players that you feel an affinity with, rather than a revolving door of loan players and 12 month contracts and total squad overhauls every year. I know many on here don't agree, but I think Hurst has proved previously that he can deliver year-on-year improvements (granted, sometimes only marginal) and build a squad that fans do have an affinity with. I'd give him a 3 year contract, put an end to all the knee-jerk reactions we see on here, and have a sensible plan for progress.
I agree with this, to be honest I think we’ll see regeneration over a period of time rather than revolution |

Regarding point 6 why not situate our training ground somewhere around the start of the M180 near Doncaster? That would put an end to the excuse that new players turn us down because we are out on a limb. If set up right they would only have to come to BP on match days.
I don't think we have to go to that extreme. Lincoln's new training ground is opposite RAF Scampton on the A15 which is 17 miles south of M180 J4. Stallingborough interchange is 14 miles from J4 & Great Coates interchange is around 19 miles. If Lincoln can attract good players at Scampton we can attract good players with a training ground near to either Stallingborough or Great Coates interchange. |

I would imagine relegation to the National League will have an impact on future plans if it happens (still living in hope).

We need to attract quality players, so I see new training facilities just off the A/M 180 as a first thing. This should then bring in quality players. I am sure when questioned about fans most of our ex-players will give us a big thumbs up, and with Fenty gone, there should be no negatives to stop players from coming ( dependent on wages).
Success will bring with it success and with that a new stadium. If this isn't possible then a major overhaul of BP to make it the best stadium out of the premier league. A stadium to bring championship football back to Grimsby.

Anywhere between Great Coates and Barnetby interchanges would be a vast improvement on the current location. |

Having a training ground near Doncaster is a no for me , you have to think of all the players and staff that live in the area that will have to make that journey daily.
Great Coates would be ideal in my eyes best of both worlds.
A new community stadium in Freeman St is the only way we will get a new stadium unless Jason and Andrew have got a spare 30 million they want to spend.
Whatever happens things will be a lot better than the last 17+ years.

My Top 10 wish list...
10. John Fenty to be executed on the pitch prior to first home game in National League if we are relegated this season.
Wouldn’t that be countryside? |

I just want a club that I can be proud to support again that represents the towns of Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Treat the fans as fans and not cash sponges to throw the blame at when things go wrong. A sense of being Grimsby, the club should never forget it's history while it aims for the future. Give the players something that makes them proud to pull on the black and white. Treat the players right and give them a decent working environment but also get them to feel part of the community. Do that and the geographical backwater excuse will be almost forgotten, players, like all of us, perform better when they are happy.
Give me back my club.
