1. Will be around mich longer.
2. Facilities.
3. Multi- purpose
4. Designed so that we don't have chunks of seats covered up hopefully.
5. It's part of a larger scheme to improve the whole area east of the ground.

Pointless, wont improve the team.

I wish we still played in bloomfield road like it was before the new stands. It was alot better.

...and as I've said, I've simply offered my thoughts which I'm perfectly entitled to do. If people want to go I hope they all enjoy themselves. As to where are they gonna get the millions from. Well I expect people who have to pay £30 to see a home game if they are not a season ticket holder will help contribute to that.. Something that has drawn much criticism.

Basically you just like a good moan.
 
I bet you loved the urinals in the old West too.......we had about 7k when the N and W were rebuilt....then it jumped to 9k when the S opened..
Time moves on and things change....the South paddock would have been closed due to all seater stadia....
The east, if you've never sat in there is poor, needs replacing and I believe the plans are for a multi use complex.

What is the point of a new east stand that holds no more people than the stand that is already there.

It will hold more surely, the gazette figure was from the councils plan based off the same size east for planning purposes I guess.

Why I dont know.

But it makes no sense as even with a same size east and a ne corner holding aprox 1k, it would be more seats added, so it's like it wasn't included.

Plus I think the east will be bigger, add in the me corner and hopefully get near 20k.

Why not? Because it's a tenner and it sells lager.
Anyway, what's the matter with real ale lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?

Real Ale or just Ale as it used to be known before the weirdy beardy types started attaching their egos to it, is completely hit and miss, which is why plenty of us don’t touch the shyte most of the time.

As for lager, it’s a quality drink and I don’t get why people get all ‘ivory tower’ about it. There’s loads of different types and flavours of lager and the premium mass market products like Moretti are decent drinking, consistently good and suit the venue…

You lot are like bloody Jehovah’s Witnesses or bloody vegans…. Always needing to chirp up and remind everyone about ‘real ale’ and ruin a decent night with their boring shit… Them Wine wankers are exactly the same, regaling their tales about why you can’t drink red wine with fish and other such bullshit…

Just keep it to yourselves and your Ale clubs.. nobody else cares👍

People can like whatever they want to like. We live in it a culture that eats and drinks mass produced shit though.

You get really aggressive on this topic for some reason. Behave like a gobby lagery type. Advise people to go to soup kitchens etc. Why's that?

There are some good lagers about but moretti isnt one of them lol. Youre really looking at germany for any of the mass produced stuff thats any good.

Of course with real ale there is so much choice now with all the micro brew that its easy to find a good ale in most towns. Theres certainly a superior experience with drinking ale with regards to variety, theres so many different flavours. Most lagers are indistinguishable.

I’m just taking the piss out of people for coming out with nonsense Voy.

The whole “I’m better than you, because I drink ‘real ale’” thing is utterly nauseating and absolutely pathetic.

If you farties want to sit there judging people for having a good time, whilst clasping your individually brewed pints of whatever, then fine…. But don’t expect to come out with your judgemental bullshit without having a few rounds fired back in your general direction.

I dont say anything like that. Maybe others do. Maybe you are as bad as them.

I don’t think so…. I tend to just reflect what comes along really.

And you have actually been quite snobby and very judgemental in regard to these bars and the people who choose to use them.

I just don’t get it…. I don’t get why people would want to do that. So yep I do get quite irritated by it all tbh.

I just don't like how everything the club is doing around match days is so corporate. It's out of touch in my opinion and will turn the club into something a lot of people will walk away from.

Without wishing to call you out on this, but that feels like a comment I’d expect from an outsider looking in, rather that someone who goes to watch the games.

There’s nothing remotely corporate about the games at Blackpool and (as I’ve said to you before) there’s nothing particularly ‘corporate’ about these bars really)… Again it feels like judgement from afar, rather than lived experience to me.

Football and beer have always gone together hand in glove and I don’t see this as anything out of the ordinary tbh. Certainly not something that changes the feel of the place or the normal Matchday (if anything the hospitality facility and these bars go some way to alleviating pressure on Matchday pricing).

As for ‘Walking Away’ … we regularly get more fans that at any point in my time supporting the Club, the ground is a nice place to be with good facilities and I see no reason why anyone would walk away….

It’s certainly a world away from toilets that are outdoors, the stink of stale piss in the air and empty wooden stands.

You are probably right on that level. But I'm not alone in sensing a corporate shift in the decision making. You are a corporate type yourself so maybe you are oblivious. I dunno. It's not about beer being on sale. There's beer on sale at village football matches run by volunteers.

I’m not remotely a ‘corporate type’ … You really couldn’t be further from the truth. Again you’re forming judgements about me as a person, without having ever met me.

There’s no doubt that the Club has upped the anti on the commercial front, which it needed to go to keep step with our peers, but it’s far from how you describe it.

Just describing how you come across to me online obviously....

Plenty of people are commenting on the corporate style of management and how it's affecting fans who can't keep up.

Edit. And people commenting today on a poor turn out. Various possible reasons but how many people without season tickets are going to turn up?

It’s an alien concept to the “OW MUCH!” brigade, but you get the opportunity to support your club and have access to a decent bar.

Christ I was paying £15 to enter nightclubs 30 years ago and people want a free pint… Dobthey ask for a free pint when they buy a footy shirt from the Club shop?

It’s just a way of putting a few more quid into the club coffers and making your day at the football with your mates a bit more of a decent social.

I’m sure some people just want to spend their lives in abject misery… The shyte I’ve read on here “The seats look uncomfortable”… “People just want to feel superior”

What a bunch of wankers 👎

40 years ago surely?

I went in the Heineken Lounge last season with 9 friends. I’m sure it was cheaper for ice cold bottles of Heineken than it is for a Luke warm, flat beer in the concourse? We got there bang on opening time so missed queues but shortly after opening time queues were big. That’s probably the only grumble I could have had with my experience in there last season.

I really don’t know whether some of these characters have ever set foot outside their bedrooms, never mind been inside a pub or a football ground.

I’ve heard it all this week…

It’s a bar that costs less than a packet of fags, where normal everyday working class blokes have a few beers with their mates ffs. You’d think it was sone kind of exclusive gentleman’s club inhabited by a bunch of Etonians the way sone folk dribble on 😂

The ‘plans’ in the Gazette for the new East only indicate a capacity the same as the existing stand as those plans are NOTHING to do with the club and instead are just a council document used as part of a bid to secure funding to enable development in the area (development which does not actually include the new East stand itself).

The council cannot justify applying for government funding to help a private enterprise build an enlarged premesis so essentially it was all based on just maintaining the status quo.

Simon Sadler has indicated a new East stand replacing like for like would cost upwards of £8.5 million. However has since indicated the investment in both the training ground and stand will likely be in and around the £40 million ballpark. Given the original budget for the training ground was set at approximately £12 million that would suggest they’re planning an East significantly more complex than a like for like replacement and would therefore likely include added facilities and an increased capacity.

Any plans / pictures or figures you’ve read in the Gazette or as part of the Revoe redevelopment project should be treated with a pinch of salt until the club themselves release some details.
