Petition: New Stadium - Grimsby Town

Fri Aug 15, 2014 4:58 pm

Hi there Bluebirds 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.

Why do you want a new stadium?

Went to your home game against Chester and sat in the upper Findus stand. One of the best views ever.

Surely to me that looks like a silly idea just yet, 14,000 seater stadium, may I ask why your current average gates are, and surely the upkeep costs will cripple the club?
