What a load of rubbish...if that was true, every football stadium in the UK would have a section that was unfinished and would save them millions
Rates for football stadiums are based on the size or capacity, the quality of the stadium, attendances and yearly income.
If it was because it was unfinished, we would never have paid any rates for 10 years with the Gene Kelly stand......

And considering the Council own Deepdale stadium...I doubt they would let that income slide
But you should get a discount on your rates once you enter administration in 2024/2025

Don’t mean on the whole stadium just that stand , that’s what I’ve been told , btw the council don’t own the stadium, think your getting confused with the land being on a very long term lease .

Anyway off to the game , not expecting us to have much of the ball tonight 😄

Yep a weird bunch, what a time to be writing open letters, level with the playoffs, ok have played a game or 2 more in some cases.

What on earth do they want, not happy with where they were, really hope they go on an actual shit run or have an actual crap season soon, if this is how they react now I can't imagine the unrest if something was actually wrong.
 
Proposal for representatives of ownership and management to meet 2 from each of 11 fan groups. Organizing that will be like herding cats, and all so far played out in public.

Hours of happy fun for onlookers.

'Level with the playoffs' - yeah, and imagine where we would be if the manager was actually backed in the summer with what he asked for.

We spent a fee on one player in the summer. One.

Nobody is expecting huge investment but after the carnage of Ingol, the leaky roof situation, the false promises, the Ridsdale lies, people are just fed up of the same old rubbish.

I think as Blackpool fans, it's very difficult to judge the goings on at the club when it is not one you support.
 
In fairness, the fact they are doing okay in the league adds some weight to their arguments I suppose. If they were doing terribly then it could just be viewed as fans sulking about on field events.

A club your size has no right to be in the playoffs really, without parachute payments.

You're losing 12 million a year, or whatever the actual number now is. Reality has to hit at some point, "yeah but what if we spent a bit more", seems to be the attitude, if you did you'd be losing even more money with no guarantee of doing anything.

There's some minor issues yes, like all clubs, but surely to be discussed with the club in a structured dialogue meeting or whatever, which ironically they seem to have set up, you don't write a letter like that when the issues are very minor and you're actually doing well.

And they are very minor, you say a Blackpool fan can't understand, no we go beyond that, we've actually got a far better sense of perspective given the actual shit we had to endure.

For you....Years in the championship competing, good competitive squad this season, completed stadium*, ok a leaky roof and a unfinished corporate bit.....

Try going to the prem thinking it will change the club you love forever and almost no money is reinvested, no real legacy, stadium rusting and battered, pitch a joke, fans being sued for comments by the owners. Now that's real shit.

Yet your fans say we abandoned the club because we fell down the leagues, complete bollox as we were in league 1 when the boycott properly begun and returned in league 1 with a bumper crowd, so if league 1 was the issue we wouldn't have returned.

Yes you can only react to your own problems, however you need a sense of perspective, the ingol saga seemed a joke but you still have a decent enough TG.

Considering how you've been doing this season, which was alright at the time of the letter, I'm not sure of the need for it, people were upset losing to us.

But seems putting 12 million in a season isn't enough, thats for you to stand still, but people seem to want more.

We sold our best player and got good cash for the manager, yet we didn't strengthen in some key positions, so we're coming from a position of profit and didn't invest in some positions.

So again, some perspective is needed.

If this was the other way round you'd be slaughtering us as delusional.

Yeah am just showing a comparison to them a club losing huge amounts of money, to us a club that will be in profit for the dealing this summer and we didn't get some key positions too, infact a lot of clubs say the same about wanting a few more here or there.

The timing wasn't great from us with the bowler sale, should have had time to invest, but full confidence we will use it.

If we were losing 12 million though and people still moaned we didn't invest its slightly different.

You will not grow on gates of circa 10,000. You will not be able to attract the players that everyone looks for. Over time wages have to go up, how will that be funded? A lot of what is being questioned at PNE will come your way. Simon Sadler is still in a honeymoon period.

Training ground - nothing really happening yet

Ground development - nothing really happening yet.

Squad development - ??

You’ve got some loans who may come off but what have you bought/ signed that is going to give you profit in the long term?

I believe PNE are a Championship level club, as shown by about 18 years there in the last 22. Staying there is getting expensive never mind pushing on. I don’t feel calling the Hemmings family out for their support achieves anything, without their support we’d be in the shit.

Simon Sadler over time will come under the same pressure….football fans are great at spending other people’s money…let’s see.

You’re kind of missing the point.
We’re laughing at you and your ridiculous open letter. It’s like reading a spoilt brat’s Christmas wish list for Santa. No doubt Ridsdale will burn it and send it up the chimney. Hope you saved some pen and paper for when you really need it - like in 18 months from now, when these will seem like the good times.

Who have we bought that is going to give us profit? You mean apart from the player we sold recently for multi-millions despite signing him on a free? Or the leagues' current top goal scorer? Or the 21 year old who we signed for peanuts from Kings Lynn who was good enough to change the game when he came on against you?
We have a decent recruitment strategy that involves signing promising young players who could be sold for big profit, and we have quite a few. Another one is joining in January. If anything, our problem is that we've signed too many potential future profit-making players, and not enough experience and leadership. We have one of the youngest average starting 11 of anyone in the league.

We have a model of selling to reinvest, each time getting better players than we could afford before, utilising the loan market, growing the fanbase gradually by staying in the division.

Wages the issue but can be funded by those players sales, far superior commercial side than you seem to have, we will make more money than you this season I'd imagine.

Training ground, land acquired, latter planning stage still ongoing.

East, in pipeline, these things don't just pop up, CPO letters, well initial ones were sent out, houses need to be demolished, its a big task.

"On time frames, we’re looking at weeks for the planning application for the sports village to go in. With the East Stand, the planning application for this will hopefully be ready by the first half of 2023."

Squad development was debatable, got what looked like a few decent permanent signings, although look like they need more game time and gradual introduction. It wasn't an ideal summer after the manager left unexpectedly. Wright and Thompson have good potential.

We got good money for the manager and Bowler, but had little time to spend the latter, annoying but it'll be invested.

We are going to be far more sustainable than you ever were as Sadler simply cannot afford to lose 12 million a season.

Sorry, nothing we haven’t done before. Hugill cost us £25,000 sold for £10 million, add in Nugent, Fuller, Davis, Robinson, Macken the list goes on….

Our average salary is around £9k per week, Championship average around £15k….you think you can match that long term.

Sadler will have to subsidise at some stage, will he do it, and how long for?

That's the point you cretin, we had real problems, your club has a few minor issues and you've been doing alright in the league, we went up and the money wasn't spent, we got almost fuck all out of it then fans getting sued tipped people over the edge. The club was an absolute joke.

So well done on making yourself look stupid.

Your club goes into complete meltdown after a few straight defeats, the owner & Ridsdale all must go, writing open letters when near the playoffs and playing well.

You want more money spent despite losing many millions. Complete lack of perspective.

If you went through some real issues or bad times I'd hate to see the reaction then, well....

You are not more sustainable as you have to pay the going rate….and you don’t appear willing to do that…eventually that will get you.

What did you get for Critchley about a million….we got that for Moyes in 2002. What are you going to do with a million quid + what 2 million for Bowler. A decent player will want that in wages over a decent contract never mind transfer fee.

What we are is what you will be….. or you will spend another 20 years in league 1 and league 2.

I didn't say you hadn't. You asked a question and I answered it.
The answer to your last question is he will probably, and long term, but not to the tune of £1m per month, or anywhere close to that. That's precisely why we've signed so many young players with potential, and why he's forking out £15m+ of his own money to invest in a training facility/youth academy.

Also, if you sell a player for £10m, the money will be gone within a year on operational costs for you. But for us, we'd be able to re-invest in the squad and infrastructure. That's why your losses are unsustainable, and why our transfer strategy is likely to bear fruit and help grow the club.

Yet we are more sustainable, thats undeniable, we're not losing ridiculous amounts and never will be.

We missed out on many signings because we stuck to our wage structure, to some of our fans frustration.

I believe it was closer to 2m for Critchley, Bowler was 4m plus add ons, although think we got 2m upfront. We still have the vast majority of that.

There's that model, Bowler was free.

You keep trying to put us on that same path, yes wages will go up etc but they won't let it go out of control like you did, he's not a billionaire. They will make it as sustainable as possible.

The TG when complete, the goal is to eventually develop our own talent to use and sell, another revenue stream and conveyor belt of players.

Some of our small minded fan base struggle with the financial commitment of the Hemmings family…. I think they have been amazing benefactors…. Some of the money could have been better spent, but you can’t have everything.

The TG is the players place of work, the current setup was crap, is now OK but not exactly enticing when comparing with other clubs, with thr new TG it will be.

To help secure some of the better talent the new TG is a big part of that, to become a cat 2 academy.

We're putting a lot of effort into building for the future, development squad, some great ex players involved. It's hoped that by developing our own that some gems are either acquired or produced.

Crewe produced a shit load of talent, if we can emulate that at a higher level it can be a valuable conveyor belt of money and players. Where they are is irrelevant.

Yep the best kids do, then Appleton got one of them here in Patino. 👍

He'll spend what he can and needs to, is it ever enough for fans, fans always would want more yes, but they've got to be realistic too.

Sadler has already said he isn't going to bankroll the team, so the answer to that question is no. If that does mean relegation then it'll happen because I can't see SS putting the financial stability of the club at risk. But you're making it sound like you have to spend money like you get 30k crowds every week to stay in the championship, and I don't accept that. Your wage bill is far higher than ours, and it got you an extra four points last season. You're trying to justify the way your club is run by saying it's necessary, and I say it's not. Not if you have people at the club that make consistently good decisions and spend money wisely.

Much of the reason why your fans have written an open letter to the board is precisely because you haven't been getting any value for your £12m loss, and you've pissed a ridiculous amount of money up the wall for a club your size. As an example, you signed Tom Baylis for £1.2m, who made only 21 appearances for you, before agreeing to terminate his contract and let him go. That kind of money wastage isn't necessary to stay in the championship, I can guarantee it.
I get that it's an expensive business, and I've no doubt we'll lose money this year (before player sales). But we have a long term plan. What's your long term plan? Apart from behaving like a club that gets double the gates you actually get in the hope that one day it might pay off? What's your transfer strategy? Ours is very clear.
You need to get rid of Ridsdale, he is bad news for a football club if you don't want major problems further down the line. He leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes.

You say your transfer strategy is really clear, which I assume is buy, develop and sell high. I don’t see those saleable assets in your current team, so where is the money coming from?

We have several, i've listed them further up. We sold Bowler for £4m after signing him on a free. Yates is currently top scorer and worth £5m at the very least, despite us signing him for only a six figure fee. Carey is a very good prospect who turned the game against you and we signed him for next to nothing from non-league. We have Lavery who is proven to score goals at this level and is a full NI international, and is only 23. We are about to sign an Irish u-21 international for only around £250k. Are you really going to criticise our transfer dealings when we've managed to get to the same level as you for a fraction of the cost?

You don't see those saleable assets in our team because you don't watch us every week, and because you (and most of your fans) are in denial about us having championship quality players. We have some good young players at the club who I'm 100% certain we'll make a profit on in future if we decide to sell. We won't get it right all the time, but we are getting it right most of the time in the last couple of years.

I see you didn't answer my questions.

Won’t be back till after WC at best, think it’s 50/50 atm , could be a success but not convinced by him tbh .

Or not giving a shit about North End? I genuinely have no idea who Callum Robinson is nor where he's gone to, and he seems to have missed your initial list of 'stars' aswell.

Think he means father Calvin Robinson transfered to gb news for an undisclosed fee.

Nope he’s there, maybe eyesight deteriorating as well?

We have several, i've listed them further up. We sold Bowler for £4m after signing him on a free. Yates is currently top scorer and worth £5m at the very least, despite us signing him for only a six figure fee. Carey is a very good prospect who turned the game against you and we signed him for next to nothing from non-league. We have Lavery who is proven to score goals at this level and is a full NI international, and is only 23. We are about to sign an Irish u-21 international for only around £250k. Are you really going to criticise our transfer dealings when we've managed to get to the same level as you for a fraction of the cost?

You don't see those saleable assets in our team because you don't watch us every week, and because you (and most of your fans) are in denial about us having championship quality players. We have some good young players at the club who I'm 100% certain we'll make a profit on in future if we decide to sell. We won't get it right all the time, but we are getting it right most of the time in the last couple of years.

I see you didn't answer my questions.

Sorry, if you are referring to the long term plan and transfer strategy I can’t answer that.

That’s the driver around the letter that was issued to the club. Many on here seem to have taken it as wanting more money spent, it’s more about clarity and future direction. It will be interesting (for me) how the club respond.
