Clubs Relocation

So pleased the Great Coates site got knocked back dreadful place for a stadium, I said on here a good few years ago when people were banging on about the docks that the land of the peaks parkway was the best location in town, I compared the location to the pride parkway Derby but on a smaller scale with the stadium centrally located for all, and accessed by the main road running straight through the centre. The surrounding land is also prime for further development restaurants, supermarket, ice arena maybe?  So I was pleased when the club announced that this was now the only location viable.

This development really needs to go ahead for our clubs future why can't the club organise  volunteers in handing out petitions in the town centre / Freemo on a busy weekends I bet we would easily get a few thousand from shoppers and people out for an afternoon drink, I would say their is also a large proportion of the older generation who would be in support that don't even know how to email like my old man, so by takeing these petitions out to the people we would soon hit the 10000 no problem.

No need for sarcasm John, I've done my comment on GET site too!

A bit of toungue in cheek I think mate don't be so touchy

Quoted from Grimal

I would bet all the councilors do,on a freeby,at our expense.

Very unfair. We do some good and as some people see it bad stuff but at our own cost to be fair. There ain't any freebies that's for sure and nothing is easy.

I work for two organisations where by and large people think NODDY AND BIG EARS ARE RUNNING BOTH

Quoted from TAGG

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

My Matty Fenty bathers who look for something which isn't their. Do I need to add one to the list.  

I just don't get cllr de fruityarse's agenda. Is he against the club? A personal vendetta against JF? A scunny fan? Unemployable should he lose the tenure of his seat?

Why in essence, is he trying to asset strip the town? I would be interested to know, which planning issues in the past he has backed AND rejected

De Freitas knocked on my mum’s door (as she lives quite close to Peakes Parkway) and he couldn’t understand that she was actually in favour of the ground. He seems to wrongly assume that anyone who lives close by will be against it. Thankfully they aren’t.

If mentioned already apologies, from today's allotment chronicle Telegraph

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

Agreed.

In regards to De Freitas, well his political ambitions lay beyond the local council, but thankfully his party are about to disappear for good, and he can go with them.

Quoted from gtfc98

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?

Without massive public support I am sorry to say it won't happen so please don be complacent. Petition forms are at the club and with the MT.

Do your best and please ask aunties uncles friends and families to sign up and don't for get the kids.

Let it be known!

If we secure vital enabling development it is likely to be three years. We have to start with agreeing a basis for land transfer. We need the council to agree this the sooner the better as the market will not take the project seriously without the club being able to secure the land. This does not mean the council will be giving planning permission. We will still have all the normal hurdles to overcome.

So at best three years but ever the optimist.UTM

Was at the Ricoh on Sunday and while there isn't any football being played there currently, it was a good insight in what can be done.  Casino, exhibition halls, hotel, coffee bar, plenty of parking, With a retail park next door.

Just a shame that in all honesty I can't see it ever happening for GTFC
