Hi I've gone round half the football clubs in England so far with quite good success, since I started it we've got around an extra 1,800 signatures, Brighton was a great response with over 100+ from their fans, but they probally share a common goal when it comes to needing a new stadium, but they was homeless for a long time after the sale of the Goldstone ground back in 1997, so yeah other fans do care, I've had a good response from majority of fans even Portsmouth who are wanting a new ground to. Would Grimsby fans sign a petition for you for a stadium? I would do my best to gather support I can promise you that for sure, I think you deserve a new stadium. Also our current ground holds 1,800 away supporters, if we drew you in the FA Cup then it would limit away fans, having a new ground would allow more away fans to attend the games, thus it's a benefit not to just Grimsby Town, but to all the away fans that attend the matches, and provide better facilities to those that do attend. Didn't you win the league the year Paul Wilkinson scored against you? Then you signed him at the end of the season. I went to a game against Everton, we somehow beat you 2-1 in 1979 at Blundell Park - I've still got the ticket, I was 4 years old and it was the very first game my dad took me to. I seem to remember you bought John Oster from us also, not sure if he was much of a success in his 2 years there, but at grass roots we have a fairly good youth system in place even at Conference Premier level, but we are losing 200K a year staying full-time being out the league, and a 2 million benign debt - not much to big clubs, but to us it's a lot of money. A new stadium for us would provide sustanability through extra revenue, better facilities, it's needed across the whole spectrum of football, if the smaller clubs die out then so does a lot of the golden egg young players that have the ability to play at a much higher level. Good luck for the current season, I actually enjoy watching Everton on match of the day.

Hi there Everton 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.
