Looks like the club and Council are moving forward with the development of the East, what will this take our capacity up to then?

I think we have to get rid of the temporary stand soon, so we need an east stand to hold the away supporters. Simon has decided to do the job properly which we all need to appreciate!Why bother?
We'll never fill it.
Have you suddenly morphed into Karl Oyston, Dave?Why bother?
We'll never fill it.
Because having that temporary stand or nothing when it’s safety certificate expires is a horrible left over from a time we weren’t run properly as a football club.Why bother?
We'll never fill it.
Tbh we are a middleing league 1 team at best. If our fans underestimate league 1 thinking we can turn up with any old shite they have short memory’s.Easy to say now and hindsight is a wonderful thing but consolidation in the championship and squad improvement should have been the priority over anything else…relegation that could have been avoided makes zero economic sense and the shockwaves from this relegation will really hit home hard. Some of our fans think we are coming back up as champions and I think they are in for a very rude awakening. If we couldn’t reinvest 5 million in this years squad then what makes people think there is going to be huge investment in infrastructure and team strengthening next season. I just hope and pray that we can somehow miraculously escape.
Do you know what the East Stand capacity is now?Looks like the club and Council are moving forward with the development of the East, what will this take our capacity up to then?
4600 East Stand
WowWhy bother?
We'll never fill it.
Build it and they will come.Why bother?
We'll never fill it.
It will reduce the capacity, it will look better thoughLooks like the club and Council are moving forward with the development of the East, what will this take our capacity up to then?

Like banking the Critchley and Bowler cash, with a squad too weak to stay up.Because having that temporary stand or nothing when it’s safety certificate expires is a horrible left over from a time we weren’t run properly as a football club.
We’ve made tonnes of errors this year but they’ve all be made for the right reasons. Trying to push the club on. They’ve just failed. It happens.
No one wants to sit in that stand, it’s a part of the reason we can’t operate for sustained period in the Championship or above. It’s a huge turd at the side of the stadium, it’s time we washed it away and continued to improve as a club.
If we have a new stand that brings the capacity to 17/18 k that can be fully used depending on its configuration, ticket prices will likely come down in an attempt to fill it regularly, the atmosphere may also improve and we organically grow the fan base over the next ten years which means we have a better chance to get 15+k home fans every game. It’s the only way we’ll be able to avoid seasons like this one in the future.
Not often I agree with this demented fool but there is an element of truth in what he saysLike banking the Critchley and Bowler cash, with a squad too weak to stay up.
Unless Sadler funds second tier quality, or accepts a co-owner, he must sell up.
Nah I think they’ve spent that money honestly, on shite loan fees and parts of wages. As well as fees for Lyons and Thompson.Like banking the Critchley and Bowler cash, with a squad too weak to stay up.
Unless Sadler funds second tier quality, or accepts a co-owner, he must sell up.
So without the Critchley and Bowler money we wouldn't be able to sign anyone for a fee or would have lower league loans?Nah I think they’ve spent that money honestly, on shite loan fees and parts of wages. As well as fees for Lyons and Thompson.
It’s been a complete failure.
Yeh that’s an argument.So without the Critchley and Bowler money we wouldn't be able to sign anyone for a fee or would have lower league loans?
Based on current squad and form, we will fall straight through league 1.Easy to say now and hindsight is a wonderful thing but consolidation in the championship and squad improvement should have been the priority over anything else…relegation that could have been avoided makes zero economic sense and the shockwaves from this relegation will really hit home hard.

That sentence makes no sense.Shame it’s not happening next season as it won’t be required for life in league one.
He means we won't neet the East next season so a shame it's not being done then.That sentence makes no sense.
Got it. It can be built without affecting anything else.He means we won't neet the East next season so a shame it's not being done then.
Only a few months away from season ticket renewal time so I was expecting a story like this to pop up soon. Next month we will have an update on the training ground, about how close we are to getting work started etc etc, then as soon as season tickets are on sale and we have sold a decent amount we won’t hear a thing until next year. Being strung along and lied to once again just like the Oyston’s.
Yeh, Simon has decided to do the job properly as the club would be harder to sell with a shithole of an East stand and no training ground.I think we have to get rid of the temporary stand soon, so we need an east stand to hold the away supporters. Simon has decided to do the job properly which we all need to appreciate!

Does to me.That sentence makes no sense.
Correct.He means we won't neet the East next season so a shame it's not being done then.
I’m not sure how long you’ve supported BFC but this is the fourth ownership (in its many guises ie boardroom control) I’ve lived through which I can vividly remember. The first three didn’t want the best for the club, they either had petty personal issues with it, were extremely incompetent or actively wanted to destroy it.We've made tonnes of errors this year, but they've all been made for the right reasons....
That has to be one of the worst statements I've ever read
Madness
The point about communication is that it makes sense to the reader, not the creator. Fortunately, fcBlackpool was on hand.Does to me.
FFSWhy bother?
We'll never fill it.
Oh do fuck offOnly a few months away from season ticket renewal time so I was expecting a story like this to pop up soon. Next month we will have an update on the training ground, about how close we are to getting work started etc etc, then as soon as season tickets are on sale and we have sold a decent amount we won’t hear a thing until next year.

Exactly.Oh do fuck off
We will see in 12 months time when I am found to be correct (again)Exactly.
Should see next Friday tbf.We will see in 12 months time when I am found to be correct (again)

That's like saying 'why bother investing in a squad, we'll never get promoted'!Why bother?
We'll never fill it.
It wouldn't make sense without the NE corner. The entry/exit arrangements for the North and East need rethinking and the corner would help to sort it.I really hope the 4600 is just a placeholder, as the current east is about that and if we are building a NE corner too surely, than that alone adds 1k.
So either it's not included in figure or the east would be smaller than the current one if the NE amount is included. Or they aren't building a NE. Given there's a building there on the plans.
Either way would be a bit unambitious and tbf thr TG plans were very ambitious, so I expect that here too.
The minimum we need it an east of similar size AND a NE corner too.
Preferably we need a slightly bigger east and a NE corner at North stand height.
Build it and they will comeWhy bother?

I don't think they'll be a NE corner on the new development.It wouldn't make sense without the NE corner. The entry/exit arrangements for the North and East need rethinking and the corner would help to sort it.
Most clubs in the country (world?) can cope with a fully enclosed ground.I don't think they'll be a NE corner on the new development.
If there's a gap between the North & the East it creates a natural break in the ground for segregation. My guess would be the away fans would be located at the north end of the East stand.
The whole of back henry street will be gone it'll be a totally changed area.
I hoping they do but its specifically never been mentioned. Only ever an easy.It wouldn't make sense without the NE corner. The entry/exit arrangements for the North and East need rethinking and the corner would help to sort it.
It will be a huge disappointment if its not, as if we are only adding an east and a 4600 one our capacity doesn't really increase at all. Only the useable slightly.I don't think they'll be a NE corner on the new development.
