Yes, but the money is going in now.Even if passed it will take 3 years or so to come to fruition.
Consider this.The O’s made plenty of planning applications. It’s just that all were eventually withdrawn. Strange they often came out around ST renewal time. Not forgetting the Wyndyke super stadium complete with sliding pitch.
Went in this week.Old news, I posted about this on 11th June.
I think the one for the ATM in the Board Room was submitted circa 18.00hrs 22.05.2010.The O’s made plenty of planning applications. It’s just that all were eventually withdrawn. Strange they often came out around ST renewal time. Not forgetting the Wyndyke super stadium complete with sliding pitch.
FT don't own any of it. If it was bought there would be no offset.Buy Fleetwoods training facility. Do share agreement to offset purchase price and focus on winning.
Ok let me rephrase for you. Buy poolsfoot save money offset by renting time for Fleetwood to train. Happier now?FT don't own any of it. If it was bought there would be no offset.
Yes. Much better. Thank you.Ok let me rephrase for you. Buy poolsfoot save money offset by renting time for Fleetwood to train. Happier now?
Went in on May 19th.Went in this week.
Because the facility has limited sale ability, he has cashflow challenges and Fleetwood was a vanity project not a viable long term business proposition. Sharing is just a matter of scheduling.Yes. Much better. Thank you.
And what makes you think AP would sell for a lower price just so FT can continue there. If he was to sell he'd want to max the sale price.
Plus I doubt if its big enough to share anyway.
No point to spending on this in League one.Permission granted followed by boots on the ground is what I’m looking for. I’m not holding my breath.
Doesn’t matter, it’s happening.Even if passed it will take 3 years or so to come to fruition.
The Old Cynics Brigade is getting its boots on the ground early.Permission granted followed by boots on the ground is what I’m looking for. I’m not holding my breath.
The point of spending on it is its part of the long term project to becoming an established Championship side.No point to spending on this in League one.
You spend on this when you have the monies for being in the championship in your bank account. Then it’s a calculated gamble in deference to being a reckless gamble. Until football adopts sane financial practices the academy part is also something that looks better on paper than it delivers in reality. The training ground part is good for attracting players to our club it’s not a miracle cure for mediocrity or a guarantee of success.The point of spending on it is its part of the long term project to becoming an established Championship side.
Looks like planning permission for the training ground has finally gone in. Big positive step forward for the club.
This is the application to Blackpool Council not Wyre BCLooks like planning permission for the training ground has finally gone in. Big positive step forward for the club.View attachment 15592
I'm pretty sure our Chairman, who knows a fair bit about finance and financial risk and also has a good idea how much he has in his bank account, has thought about this.You spend on this when you have the monies for being in the championship in your bank account.

You’re right nothing built yet so no meaningful monies spent. Let’s hope his thoughts are on lessons learned from our needless relegation last season.I'm pretty sure our Chairman, who knows a fair bit about finance and financial risk and also has a good idea how much he has in his bank account, has thought about this.
He certainly hasn't rushed into it.
Yeah that's just the Blackpool one, according to the Gazette though the Wyre one has also gone in at the same time.This is the application to Blackpool Council not Wyre BC
Yeah… but this isn’t a house with PP though and it’s fairly unlikely anyone else is in the market for a football training groundConsider this.
2 houses on the same street. Identical in every way. Both for sale. One has PP for an extension and a loft conversion, the other doesn't. Which one is worth more? And for little cost.
Completely wrong.You spend on this when you have the monies for being in the championship in your bank account. Then it’s a calculated gamble in deference to being a reckless gamble. Until football adopts sane financial practices the academy part is also something that looks better on paper than it delivers in reality. The training ground part is good for attracting players to our club it’s not a miracle cure for mediocrity or a guarantee of success.
I think he is alluding to the fact that the club will be worth more money with a training ground with PP approval rather than without.Yeah… but this isn’t a house with PP though and it’s fairly unlikely anyone else is in the market for a football training ground
No actually completely right. You don‘t spend money (asset) on a non revenue generating liability (training ground) until it makes sense in regard to your incoming revenues. Job one is promotion, increase crowds, develop talent to sell on which we have a long tradition of doing so, and then with increased revenue one can build a new training ground, which if it had been done correctly would have been a community asset paid in part for by the council.Completely wrong.
People get so confused as to what an asset is. An asset generates income. You build a nice stand and have a crap team that get’s relegated apart from staging concerts and events those seats are not an asset but a liability demanding the cost of upkeep but generating no revenues. When we got promoted the Oyston’s had a chance to do something good and greed and myopia ensured they blew it.It'll be great when just one of these big projects has begun and then is completed, eaat or TG, as until then we'll always have the seen it all before people, still seemingly scarred from the previous owners.
Then SS will have something real and tangible in the bank that is undeniable.
