Their current site is prime retail land with M & S and Debenhams wanting to open stores in that area.

They'll no doubt attract more punters there on a Saturday than the Iron could to their tin shed

Their new ground will be a vast improvement on their last sardine tin.  It's just strange that someone as dynamic as Swann appears to be, that he jumps into bed with such a poorly supported club.

It takes great skill, cunning and a certain ruthlessness to make your plans come to fruition when certain personalities are resistant to positive change.  

Who ever replaces our limpet of an MP, I hope he/she lives locally and gets on board with our hope of a new ground.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I think it looks good and I'm more than a little bit jealous and angry.

Agree with you, seeing the new stadium designs made we very jealous indeed. No restricted views, now there's something

How the hell poxy Scunthorpe can have two brand new stadiums and we are still waiting for one says it all  
This council has never been a friend of GTFC and we should start to make it known ,There will be more than a few hundred Town fans in each ward so if we could field a candidate against each Councillor that has hindered us over the years they would soon change their tune

A lot of people (including some of our own fans) are against the move from Blundell park because we rarely fill it and believe we don't 'need' a new stadium.

I believe we do, Blundell park is old and outdated. Has limited parking and a lack of facilities. Didn't they say that we're losing money because of the maintenance costs? Or is costing way too much in maintenance? And because there's a lack of food and drink outlets in the ground, we're losing out on potential income?

But I fear for as long as there is so many against the idea of a new stadium, we'll be stuck at Blundell park for some time to come yet. I think there's more who are 'against' a new stadium than there is 'for' a new stadium.

Whereas Scunny, Boston and Hull have had more of a backing.

Sorry if this comes across as a negative point of view.

I dont believe that more fans are against than for ! Everyone I speak to understands and wants a new ground apart from the few nimbys and a few more soon to be unemployed Councillors

It's just how it seems to me, I didn't mean to be so negative about it. It's just my opinion. I really hope we do get a new stadium soon.
