I have always maintained that I think that there are too many League Clubs in Lancashire (NW region) as it was. To that extent, Fleetwood and Fylde are both detrimental to Blackpool FC’s health IMHO, simply because they compete with us for fan revenue in our catchment area.
Some don’t see them as rivals (and they aren’t in terms of competing with us on the pitch), but we’d be better off without them in my view.
Neither Club has ever really been sustainable, but very few Clubs are these days. If both were to ultimately fail, I would see that as being largely beneficial to my Club
