Clubs Relocation

Quoted from Getyourfactsright

Bless 93 how nice.

Wonder if the rest of the fab six are ok too.

UTM

Who are the fab six??????????

Quoted from Caesar

What we need to do is get people to write to local representatives.  Councillors will be getting a fair few letters from NIMBY's who have little idea what football is, so their voice will be loudest.  However if every Town fan wrote a letter/email to the Councillors then they would start paying more attention to Town fans.  If someone could spare the time or if the club and John Fenty could provide a list of Councillors to and everyone on here could write to them it might help.

Someone could even draft a general letter to send which people could just edit slightly so there is a bit of difference in the letters.  A petition is good after all but it is a very easy action to do to sign one, if people are writing letters and emails it means they care more about the issue and it is more likely to effect their vote, in which case it is going to be an issue that people will look at more closely.

Any voulanteers for providing a list and a draft letter for people to send?

Thats right Caesar an email or letter is more meaningful more personal than a petition.

Hi it's only me again!!

Public support is essential. See the link.

Articles like this need sensible and appropriate responses. I would suggest the points in the only comments left on the article are a good start.

Bury as an example have a stand named the cemetery end. Yes that is because they are adjacent to a cemetery along with many other stadia. As is Stamford bridge to name another Watford FC and a long list of other clubs.  

Politicians listen to those that have the biggest voice and they follow comment on the tell wags website. Please keep it sensible and do comment.

Don't forget to ask aunties uncles and all the family and friends to sign the petition for support.

It's no joke we need to crank up support for relocation. 5000 signatures is hopeless.

Ideas welcome to the Club and MT

UTM and here's to the future.

Have to say im not your biggest fan but i actually think coming on the fishy openly could be a master stroke on your part, forget ranting to radio dull or ranting to the gy telegraph this does you no favours imo BUT posting on the fishy sort of connects you to the fans

Getyourfactsright aka John.  I have 1 question would it not be possible to build the stadium on the other side of peaks parkway?  Is it privately owned....just trying to make the stadium even further away.  Having said that no matter where it is there will always be opposition.

Well I might be completely off the mark but the 2 things thats put GY on the map is the fishing industry and GTFC.   Im sure down the lines GTFC has done a lot of good to the community than we actually know.  I dont why Im posting this its like im going in circles.  I feel for John he must have a very sore head with the constant head banging against the wall lol.

One final question.  Does anyone know what the residents of the surrounding villages I.e Waltham etc think about a community stadium with a super market?

Maybe it shouldn't be said, but does anyone get the feeling it will never be built??  We wouldn't want Grimsby having things that other Towns the same size have had for years...Football stadium...Cinema...Decent leisure center....sorry for moaning been out for a drink lol

I do get this feeling and sadly i haven't been out for a drink! Its the age old truth
that no-one in this Town ever has forward thinking ideas, i think its the Lincolnshire
way, sitting on hands doing nothing - our councils ideas of regeneration are cruelly
evident with the Ice House and my old school in Eleanor Street,  ie: do nothing and let
the buildings turn into rat infested ruins with absolutely no plan for the future.
I d'ont think the stadium will happen and this is from someone who had a letter printed
the GET as long ago as the mid nineties begging for information on the new stadium.
Anyone who read the recent thread about the SB Cohen movies ridiculing this Town will
know i am passionate about improving the image of this Town, not destroying it, but clearly people in authority d'ont share this  passion (unless laying down ludicrous dirty looking crazy paving that is a safety hazard counts)
On the subject of the proposed stadium i have to say (and this is only my opinion
before i am slated on here for it) that i am somewhat cynical about the location,
forgetting about graveyards, crematoriums and the lesser spotted newts,  if it ever happens is this really the best place for it? C'ant help thinking that there are commercial
interests additional to the stadium  proposals, shall we say from local building companies
eyeing up the land between the  site of the proposed stadium and New Waltham/Toll Bar for housing - perhaps i am wrong - i hope i am.
All though i am as desperate for the club to relocate as anyone, i feel that a site
off the A180 (maybe somewhere near Europark) is far more sensible and
practical, one thing for sure though  is that we cannot just do nothing, because it is only a matter of time before the older stands at BP are refused safety certificates, we need to get a site and an 'enabler' or  try to get a FA  grant and improve BP, d'ont just 'do' an ice house or Eleanor Street school.

Site acquisition is an obvious and big cost. As the site is owned by the council it's a big plus to the viability of the scheme. If it was located across the road the planning reasons such as highways impact travel plan and others are exactly the same tbh.

Peaks Parkway is very central, therefore very accessible to all parts of the town. Great Coats used to give me sleepless nights in how we would get people to the stadium it being in one corner of the town. A bit like Darlington Fc was.

Chelsea's ground Stamford bridge is the closest ground to a cemetery I've seen which is literally next to one corner. We have an excellent picture of it plus many others which will be used when we get to do consultations.

Peaks Parkway is the best place for it John, the club are doing a good job trying to push this forward with the council. Do you have a rough timescale of when we could expect to see some plans ready for submission? Is that the next stage?

Wow! I bet these people in this cemetary don't moan?
