What you say is quite correct, but they must have had their local council on board somewhere along the line. Contrast that to ours.

The badly kept secret that Town wants a new training ground at Barretts, land owned by the council. We are now several months into this project with no hard news from the council

The fiasco of the Great Coates site when out-of-town developments were the in thing and the fact the council want to plough £25 million into Fresney Place to buy it, where the current owners cannot attract big name stores. £25 million would develop the Freeman Street area, council-owned land, with a new stadium, sports facilities and auxiliary shops etc.

Our council have not had the appetite to fully support the football club, even though it takes advantage of the name Grimsby Town which now will be on the TV more now that it is a League 2 club. The more the council invests in the club the more benefits  Grimsby will get.



This is not hitting the nail on the head, moreover it’s using a nail gun that’s been hooked up to a compressor

If the council were that bothered about the club, they would’ve been wanting the same as the club, no matter who was in charge


Rose is on fire

One thing we do have now is a co-chairman with an incredibly successful career in property development...

Tranmere have had Council backing since the mid -late 80's , from memory they were their first shirt/ club sponsors when they started to become more successful and regularly popping up at Wembley for finals/play offs.
The ground has changed massively since back then as well one stand at a time.

But that is in Rotherham Poojah, they had massive help from the council, and also a site ready to go. We have neither.


What about the stadium-sized plot of land near Freeman Street that has been staring us in the face for three and a half years? You could easily fit an arena with 15k seats there. The council and Freemen wanted it, but Fenty wasted two years talking to Shutes. If you recall, he was keen to fill in the old fish dock so he could gaze at the Italianate tower from his upper tier.
