DIRECTOR John Fenty wants Grimsby Town to follow the lead of arch rivals Scunthorpe United as they bid to secure a new stadium.
The Iron relocated to Glanford Park in 1984 – and have now submitted an application for planning permission for another move.
The Mariners have already received on off-field boost this week by extending their long-running association with Young's Seafood.
The club's main sponsor agreed a new deal to stretch the partnership with Town into a 12th season.
And Fenty is craving yet more positive news, as the Mariners continue their quest to relocate from Blundell Park.
He said: "We're pleased with how things are going, and are looking forward to meeting with a variety of councillors and their associations.
"It's all in order to bring them up to speed with where we're at so far.
"We don't have fixed or focussed plans, and it's very much evolving.
"We need to look to our near neighbours and see what progress they are making.
"Scunthorpe are on their second relocation. Firstly, they relocated in 1984, and are again making phenomenal progress.
"They submitted a planning application two weeks ago, and it's on the back of a wonderful scheme that's clearly going to benefit the community, the football club and all.
"It will no doubt make a stronger economy, and a stronger community.
"We should look to aspire to do at least what they're doing, and we need the political support to achieve the same.
Fenty added: "I think we can point to Scunthorpe, but you only can look at Doncaster, Chesterfield, Huddersfield and Hull, too.
"So many stadiums have been built in the last few years, which have all been built with an enabling development.
"It's the only way, unless of course you are as fortunate as the case at West Ham – they have been provided with a stadium entirely from public money.
"We have to secure an enabling development, which is most significantly what we are working on right now.
"It has to come from the top, and that's the reason why we are talking with councillors and their associations.
"We need to make sure they understand the importance of a professional football club on their doorstep, and the risks of losing it."
