I would be amazed if they don't sell out, in fact that would be pretty poor considering where they are in the League.

There was talk of building a relief road from the Great Coates roundabout to Bradley. That would open up a lot of potential land for a new stadium. The only problem is lack of foresight in the council.
Unfortunately if this ever happens it will be after I am well gone from this planet.

The relief road would go from the roundabout near Great Coates to the roundabout near Morrisons on the Laceby By-pass.

I think the locals were up in arms about it and don't want it not the council.

Our sales are slightly slower than for Notts, which had about 200 left unsold. Should still be over 7k.

Although Stockport are above us in the away averages ( so they should be as they been p!sing the league almost from the start) some of their followings have been a bit low. 1,625 to Donny recently. Would have expected over 2k for that - similar distance as us to Bradford

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
The talk of York is interesting.

My in laws are big York City fans, at least some of them are and the others are Leeds United fans, some are Leeds rugby fans and some York rugby fans. That is the problem for York City - there are many better and varied alternatives.

That is not the case for us. North East Lincolnshire has a population fast approaching 200k, York is about 220k or something like that. We are in a very strong position if we can find success on the field.

People might think York is a better prospect as a place but like everywhere else it has its own problems. We also have our problems but the area as a whole is well placed to take advantage of the green revolution and with owners who have a vision to put GTFC at the forefront of any renaissance the future could be good, marvellous or outstanding.
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it states just for Grimsby - Total Population 1911 to 1961: Population grew from 74,659 in 1911 to 96,712 in 1961 >> https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10000567

According to this 85,911 living in Grimsby of which 78,843 are UK citizens in 2021 >> https://citypopulation.de/en/uk/yorkshireandthehumber/north_east_lincolnshire/E63001128__grimsby/

North East Lincolnshire was 161,300 in 1981 and had fallen to 159,600 by 2019 >> https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/everything-2011-census-told-grimsby-5087215

For North East Lincolnshire, 2001 Census = 157,979 and for 2021 Census = 156,966 of which 146,658 are UK citizens >> https://citypopulation.de/en/uk/yorkshireandthehumber/admin/E06000012__north_east_lincolnshire/

The population of North East Lincolnshire fell by 1.7%, from around 159,600 in 2011 to around 157,000 in 2021 >> https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/censusareachanges/E06000012/

Not so sure on this one. I have been a fan for nigh on 65 years. Yes it would be a dream for me to be able to walk into a fabulous Mariners stadium from my home.
However I can fully empathise with those in the neighbourhood who maybe wouldn't share my enthusiasm for what could be an influx of anti-social yobs every couple of weeks.
Then again I may be considered to be  a miserable old fart - Rock on.
