Hi there Magpie 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.

Done. Shared on FB. Good Luck.

Hi Mate,

 

I've signed this, I know only to well of the struggles John (JF) has had with getting a new ground, why oh why the ground near the college was never given the go ahead baffled me & it is a question that has never properly been answered and surely that was the best solution for East lincs / Cleethorpes council as they had a chance to be a direction leader with how clubs should interact with the community.

 

Is cheapside still going to be used with this proposal or is that going to be sold to help fund the stadium?
