We set up a crowdfunding enterprise to get the name changed to "The Fishy Stadium".

This is GTFC...better if the fans do it, rather than (die) waiting for the club.

Look at the website of the commercial department. They’ve been advertising for a stadium naming rights partner and individual stand naming rights partners for years. No takers though.


They wont get any takers either if they think an advert on the website will do the trick.

Find a connection with a local company and go out and sell it to them!

Itll probably end up with one of the Offshore Wind companies sponsoring it, especially if it ends up either on or in close proximity to the Docks.

Long gone are the days of Ramsdens stumping up some cash. Mind you, there arent too many local 'boy done good' businesses who we can go begging to, cap in hand.

David Ross must have a few million hiding away in an overseas tax haven that he can spare.

Docks Beer might be a contender if they continue to grow over the next few years. Then again, they might just take over the bars.

Gary Croft?

Guy Martin?

Shaun Pulfrey?

Any more?

There are loads more and we are like most football towns in England in terms of business opportunities including national companies with local branches.

Our board is too limited to find the opportunities.  Ollie could do it but he is a bit tied up with the team.

Whichever board member is in charge of the internet computer put a page on the OS about 5 years ago, not sure what else they can do.

I don't think we've heard the last of Shutes' takeover. I don't think Fenty was a serious seller before. With the world and football finances as they are right now, I think he'd be delighted to offload the club given half a chance. Shutes would probably get a much better deal than previous too.

It's not here we go again. It's a fact that Fenty hasn't had to put a penny in for years and years, so felt no urgency to sell up. That has all changed now and he'd be delighted if somebody took the club and the responsibility for underwriting losses off his hands.
