Petition: New Stadium - Grimsby Town

[Nelly GTFC]

Hi there Royals fans

Any chance I can get some extra signatures for my club to acquire a new stadium? Only takes a few minutes, we would really appreciate your help.

We have been trying for the last 20 years, but setbacks due to location, nimby's, and funding have set us back.

This is an official petition made by Grimsby Town Football Club over the last few months, which will be handed into our local council for planning permission.

Circa 500 permanent jobs, and 500 temporary construction jobs. For the long term survivability of the club, not only will it help the club, it will help with community projects in Education and Health.

stay at the old ground and avoid the curse of RetroFans banging on about how no terracing means your club has lost its soul

[Brum Royal]

Done

[SPARTA]

Done, but you will miss the old ground more than you realise. Good luck.

[Winston Smith]

Your old stadium > that new stadium

[Royal Biscuitman]

The local council are there to represent the needs of local people, signatures from the local area are the only ones that should carry any weight otherwise I'd start a petition now to have Swindon's ground demolished.

[Mr Angry]

Good luck Nelly; will your new ground be in Grimsby, or will it still be (football pub quiz question coming up) in Cleethorpes?

Your old stadium > that new stadium

Spot on. One of the best views in football from the back of the Findus Stand. Stay on the beach Nelly.

[From Despair To Where?]

So they've finally built a 4th stand at the Rec then Frimmers.

Playing at a neutral ground?

It was considered,but the plastic, devoid of atmosphere grounds within easy reach were rejected out of hand.

Thanks for the singatures Royals, we've managed to aquire an extra 1,900 signatures so far.

Good luck Nelly; will your new ground be in Grimsby, or will it still be (football pub quiz question coming up) in Cleethorpes?

Will be in Grimsby

We are currently losing around 200k a year, that's staying as a full-time football club, and have 2 million of benign debt, so we need a new stadium to attain extre revenue, also it will have on site parking, something that is impossible currently at Blundell Park, as it's surrounded by housing so it's very limited in development, the training ground is the other side of Grimsby. New community stadium will virtually guarantee the long term survivability of the club.

Here is where it will be, and where we currently are...
