Good to see we’ve heard about the none-existent training ground again 13 days before the opening of another transfer window…
What would the January transfer window have to do with anything?Good to see we’ve heard about the none-existent training ground again 13 days before the opening of another transfer window…
Another mythWhat would the January transfer window have to do with anything?
I'll try............Can anyone translate the O/P into English......Just so I know what were arguing about?
We already have plans, artists impressions we could show them at any time, so that doesn't make sense.I'll try............
When we try to sign players we can show them the shiny plans for the new training ground, rather than taking them to squires gate (we'll not until they've signed!) Then it's too late
That's how I read the OP anyway!!
Fair enough, I had a goWe already have plans, artists impressions we could show them at any time, so that doesn't make sense.
I’m just saying we’ve had another announcement, prior to a transfer window, to keep the happy clappers like yourself in support of the regime ahead of another underfunded, lacklustre transfer window.What would the January transfer window have to do with anything?
Please ask for my reasoning before speculating.Announcements happen when they happen, there's a process it's going through that's out of the clubs control, plus they haven't announced anything have they?
There was that yesterday.
The op seems to saying it like in summer, where an announcement might be timed to coincide with ST sales and the summer window, but about Jan.
But there's no real gain here as we're not in some early bird ST window and people aren't going to rush down and buy something if we get an update on a planning application.
Happy clapper? I call things out all the time, so that's nonesense.I’m just saying we’ve had another announcement, prior to a transfer window, to keep the happy clappers like yourself in support of the regime ahead of another underfunded, lacklustre transfer window.
But it doesn't work the same as it being announced in the summer when ST's are on sale.Please ask for my reasoning before speculating.
I’m saying our training plan announcements ALWAYS coincide with the start of a transfer window. Or, just after one to alleviate any pressuring questions regarding spending on players.
Yeah there's some complete nonesense objections.Its infuriating when you read from environmental agencies comments and reports that yes, the plans will remove some trees / a pond / some hedges.. but will be replacing it with an overall net gain of green spaces. - Still objects because dog walker.
There is moaning about traffic increases. Fine, but it's not going to be 100's of cars coming and going all day. This seems to have led to discussions on changes to the plan to move the entrance onto Garstang Road instead. - additional cost etc...
Moaning about light and noise into the evening.. Most footballers won't want to be there in the evening, I imagine it'll be somewhat quiet by that time, or at least using the indoor pitch / Far end Pitches.

Golden rule of AVFTT though. If you don’t look for any and every opportunity to criticise the club and moan at absolutely everything you’re a happy clapper.Happy clapper? I call things out all the time, so that's nonesense.
You think a gazette update not saying anything really is some plan by the club to sell something or keep people on board?
It’s released so that they have a “well, the training ground” excuse. They’ve done it around every window for the past 2 seasons.But it doesn't work the same as it being announced in the summer when ST's are on sale.
In many ways you can understand trying to build up a feelgood if that was happening. But we've already got all the info, that article is an update on the ongoing planning.
That won't sell anything or alleviate any pressuring questions.
Let's imagine Rhodes goes back and there's no replacement. Difficult questions aren't going to be lessened because some fans have learned about the number of objections to a planning application.
Yes.Are your initials JG
No, not at all.Golden rule of AVFTT though. If you don’t look for any and every opportunity to criticise the club and moan at absolutely everything you’re a happy clapper.
Tbh I think you’re looking for things that aren’t there with this one.No, not at all.
I just believe it’s coincidental timing and JJ decided to inform me that it isn’t, just like the last 3 announcements weren’t.
I can see a pattern emerging, can’t you?
Just seems convenient timing and gives him an easy get out post January.Tbh I think you’re looking for things that aren’t there with this one.
If Sadler wants to invest in January he will. If he doesn’t he won’t. I don’t think he’s working meticulously with the Blackpool Gazette to excuse lack of spending before the window is even open.
He didn’t invest nearly enough in the playing squad over summer imo so I hope we see some good business in January. I dont think these announcements are anything more than updates on the training ground though.
Just my opinion.
But there's nothing happening yet is there? Is the article even triggered by the club or just the gazette filling pages...It’s released so that they have a “well, the training ground” excuse. They’ve done it around every window for the past 2 seasons.
If it’s not planned, it’s some reoccurring coincidence.
It's about time @Torycorner got political instead of running busesLack of BFC fans supporting the project i note - 18 objections and only 2 in support - PLF BFC fans need to voice their support ASAP https://publicaccess.wyre.gov.uk/on...do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RUWV5ASDMCV00
The objections on environmental grounds are ludicrous and one is pure NIMBY ranting on about too many new house in Poulton - last time i looked 10 pitches aren't houses!
And the training ground / green pitches prevents further houses being builtLack of BFC fans supporting the project i note - 18 objections and only 2 in support - PLF BFC fans need to voice their support ASAP https://publicaccess.wyre.gov.uk/on...do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=RUWV5ASDMCV00

When is it due to be considered?
Councils aren't the quickest are they.Those planning documents, including the consultation feedback, were from last summer. I remember reading them at the time. Why hasn't it been determined by now?
Especially if it's just after the transfer window closesImagine the meltdown If the planning permission gets rejected
So if nothing is happening - why tell us that “we’re still in the planning stage”?So the real question is...
If something did happen worthy of announcement should the club/Gazette hold off if it's in a 'suspicious' time of year and not update fans?
It's about time @Torycorner got political instead of running buses
Listen, ItsDimUpNorth, why don't you get someone to explain the club accounts to you and then you'll see how much Sadler is spending.Why are people making out like I’ve said the training ground needs to happen immediately?
I’m saying Sadler has drip fed another bullshit story to the Gazette just in time for the transfer window so that he doesn’t have to spend a bean.
BJ, you must think our fans are very gullible if you think an article on planning permission gets us buying tickets and merchandise.Only time we ever hear about it - Season ticket renewal time, half season-ticket renewal time and when they want everyone spending money in the club shop at Christmas. Been the same cycle for years now.
We are being strung along more than the Oystons did to us.
You preferred the Oystons then.Only time we ever hear about it - Season ticket renewal time, half season-ticket renewal time and when they want everyone spending money in the club shop at Christmas. Been the same cycle for years now.

You are nuts!I'll try............

A quick scan of those comments is unbelievably tedious. One of the objections says the training ground being built will effect their mental health and someone wants an assessment on trees, it’s a miracle anything gets built
This is why things take so long. The amount of bullshit objections to things that will improve the town is mental. I'm not just talking about this, but other planning things that have taken years to get through planning or haven't got through at all because of a bunch of sad people that don't have anything better to do than complain about everything. Another case is derelict hotels, there's been a few that have been denied planning permission to be knocked down and turned into sea front apartments because of objections. Hacketts that burnt down went through this and sat derelict/a drug den for years before finally burning down. The exact same thing with the Ambassador as well. It's a complete joke. Sorry for the rant, just annoys me that people who actually want to improve areas of the town can't because of busy bodies with nothing better to do.A quick scan of those comments is unbelievably tedious.

The club haven't said anything new have they? The gazette has put this out for clicks. Even if the club had promted the update, so what. It's not like the non news changes anything or anyone's thinking on anything.So if nothing is happening - why tell us that “we’re still in the planning stage”?
There's been covid and a cost of living and the costs have gone up massively. It's needed to become the club we want to be, but squires gate has seen significant improvement and investment, so is OK for now, until the costs are more acceptable. Tbh they should build it in stages and add to it. But by the time the planning is possibly accepted maybe it'll happen, as inflation is coming down.5 full years Sadler has had us next year. We’re in the same place, footballing wise, as when he took over. It’s a shambles.
It's not like there's any progress announced to get excited about either, it's just a gazette update to say...still waiting, no news.BJ, you must think our fans are very gullible if you think an article on planning permission gets us buying tickets and merchandise.
