Petition: New Stadium - Grimsby Town

[Nelly GTFC]

Hi there Reds 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.

Thank you.

Done. How is the stadium being funded?

In my part of the world, we have two clubs who have been tangled up in long running stadium issues for many years. The saga in both cases has been shambolic.

The proposed new facility would be a Community Complex, a joint venture with the local council and a key part of the funding will come from retail developments on the site, along with football grants for new stadia. The land is currently owned by the council and, if approved, the stadium would have “asset of community value” status. Blundell Park would be sold for housing development.

I've been to Anfield once, I didn't realise till last week how close Anfield is to Goodison Park. I was looking at the Stadium redevelopment for Anfield, via a map.

I live in Bristol, and the stuff going on here almost makes the Merseyside issues look competent. I saw today that Rovers are now suing Sainsburys who are to buy their old ground. Madness.
