Quoted from NorthseaMariner
Grimsby, the town that’s got nothing, wants nothing and will get exactly that.
Merry Christmas.


And that's where WE come in.  We have one of the most deprived wards in the whole of the UK, the sort of place even this government is throwing money at, but not us.  Why don't WE (i.e. we fishys) do something about it ourselves.  There are enough good people on here to make a watertight case for government money for a multi-use community facility, with support from the local council, the local MPs, the Freemen of Grimsby.  That is the way to go instead of waiting for one of us to win the multi-rollover Euromillions jackpot or for a dodgy regime to do a bit of expensive sportswashing for us.  Let's do it!

The owners will know what monies are available and will have spoken to the relevant parties, surely?

However you cut it though, we (the owners) will have to raise significant capital and they might think there are too many strings attached to a project that they do not have full control over, even if they wanted to raise their share of the cost.

Who knows what is going on behind the scenes but we are told there is no appetite for a move in the foreseeable future.

I know of one such project that succeeded in getting many millions, run by one person, NOT the owner of the project, it's a COMMUNITY asset.  The owner's would struggle, which is why I never mentioned them.  They would have to be building something for the community, NOT for their own FC, and it could NOT be part of their FC.  But if we aren't prepared to do anything then fair enough.

Always wonder if that Tom Shutes still works with the lads on a way forward with a new stadium

He seemed mad keen on the idea of a new stadium on the docks  , and is allegedly extremely wealthy.  Assume their views on the clubs future  either didn't allign or he was in it for the wrong reasons / a chancer ?

Nothing much was said when he pulled out of the consortium really .

Perhaps he got fed up with the previous owner and his ways. Was Shutes a tyre kicker?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Wasn't there supposed to be an £80 million redevelopment injection coming from the government to help with leveling up? What happened to that?

I mean, we lived up to our side of the bargain by supplying a very fetching bobble hat.

Quoted from Simon


Buy up the houses behind the main stand and pull them down, rotate the pitch 90 degrees so the Findus stand is behind the goal and that would give you a huge footprint to work with

Only downside to that at 100k each thats 2 million before you even think about pulling them down



Imagine living in the last house on Harrington Street to be sold. The first half million pound terrace house in Cleethorpes.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.
