Come on Town!

AT last.... Grimsby Town FC will have an answer to the proposals for a new stadium a year and a day after submitting the planning application.
It has been a long wait for the fans, but the work done behind the scenes by both North East Lincolnshire Council and the football club cannot be understated.
Since the concept was first drawn up, the Mariners have played in every division of the Football League, and new stadia have popped up everywhere from Doncaster to Darlington and Stoke to Swansea.
Now the team find themselves in the lower reaches of soccer's hierarchy, but that is no reason to put the plans on hold.
Blundell Park has operated for more than 100 years. Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been there, so who knows what the future could hold. What is clear is that money is more important than it ever has been. A good footballing side now needs funding, as well as finding. Stadiums need to operate as mini-business hubs, and not just for three hours on every other Saturday for nine-and-a-half months of the year.
Independent reports have highlighted Great Coates as the prime site. If what is being proposed can be developed then Grimsby will have a gateway to be proud of.
Forget ideas about the fish docks, this project is too far down the line and that area of town is still a working zone. This stadium was needed back in 1994, it was certainly needed in 1998, and it is no different in 2008 or 2018.
So come Janunary 25th there can only be one decision surely?
Up the Mariners.
