Where to stick everyone when the ground is complete.

So once Bloomfield Road is fully developed, where would you stick everyone? Passionate singing fans, family fans, away fans etc?

I see it differently. If we build a state of the art stand with great facilities then I would utilise that for home fans.
I would put the away supporters in the south east corner, blocks WXYZ
I would also order in extra birdshit for when the Nobbers visit

Possibly, the only issue is the east is worst for view when sunny, when it rains its blowing in and it'll be pretty dire in there during winter.

We would use it anyway, as we would have half under current arrangements and could m, even if its not open for seats, still have the north stand spread out and go underneath it and use the concourse.
 
Always thought the home fans should be put in the new shiny East stand with better facilities and the aways stuck in the decrepead North then the plans came out for it only being for 4.6k now changed my mind.

The aways in the North would have stopped any of the problems we've had this season outside and then they could have struggled to go for a piss or get a beer at half time.
 
Keep away fans to a minimum, it isn't as though the club get a great deal of revenue from them anyway, and it will eliminate policing costs and trouble. Seat them in one of the corners as mentioned above or better still do away with them all together.
 
Can’t put them anywhere in the West given the corporate seats would be above them. The North side of this stand would actually be the ideal spot, opposite the car park and the first part you get to if walking from the Manchester/ Old Bridge which seem to be where away fans visit.

Can’t put them in any section of the South as the concourse can’t be split.

Wouldn’t want them in the North as that’s the heartbeat of the home fans now.

So it will really need to be in a section of any new East stand.

Are you serious they pay full whack to get in and it goes directly to the club.
Add on hotels, pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops, attractions etc and they bring a bloody fortune to the town.

All 800 or so per game? (if that) A fortune really? If the club closed tomorrow do you really think the town of Blackpool would miss the "bloody fortune" you say they bring? I doubt it. The majority of games are out of season anyway.🙄
 
I'd put them in the east, pretty much as is now. Like has been said before, that's where the wind whips in and rain comes in sideways so I wouldn't like to be in there week in week out in the winter. Half yo them, half to us depending on demand.

I wouldn’t try to even estimate how much away fans spend in Blackpool, but a weekend game attracts much more than 800 to the town. How many make a weekend of it (in season or not), many bringing their families here, who wouldn’t normally follow their hubbies/partners to an away game.
When we were in the Prem, there was a massive boost to Blackpool’s economy, especially out of season.

Correct where the 800 figure comes from when most clubs have brought a lot more than that.
They key on his post most games are out of season which is a great boost to the town in normal quieter times and apart from PB most of the attraction's are open all year round.

Another one of those who post on here who never have anything decent to say about our fantastic town.

There will be a requirement to segregate safely, so that lets out putting the away fans in the North, unless we remove seats.
The East is the obvious place.

Gene Kelly stand for the away fans.
 
home fans behind each goal . Put aways in a corner or part new East as its unlikely to be that big . If East is 2 tier then give them top or bottom tier..Family Stand in corners . All under 12s MUST go in family stand area:

Yeh and all over 40s MUST go in the west, bloody oldies. All fans MUST sit down at all times, bloody tall people and all other fans who may annoy me MUST go somewhere else cos its all about me..... Ridiculous post. People can sit where the fcuk they wanna sit. It's got nothing to do with you, me or anyone else, it's a public space.

I'd rather Stand . The thread topic asked for opinions as to where various fans should be housed once the East is redeveloped I merely gave my opinion . It jut so happens that I don't like having young kids near me with high pitched screaming at random times as they are not even paying attention to the game . My opinion , as valid as anyone elses . Oh & its not a public space its privately owned & we are admitted at a price & under certain terms & conditions.
 
Keep em where they are and have them exit where they are now but not onto Bloomfield road. Hopefully they’ll be some kind of coach parking for them built behind. Don’t want away fans behind the goal.
 
Imo the away end in blocks A, B and C with the muckers/anyone who stands and sings either side of the away end could make the bloomers atmosphere unbeatable
 
The New east will be much deeper with better designed entrance and exit routes. Away fans in their half /third of the stand will have their own segregated bit of concourse, and there will be opportunities to arrange seating segregation without leaving a block of empty seats. Outside the east will be designed and landscaped to minimise unnecessary contact between sets of fans.
 
According to the council plans, which have obviously been done jointly with the club, although probably not finalised yet, the stand looks to be the same depth as the others, with a concourse, and forms part of the 'Revoe sports village's plan. So yes, Henry street will go.

How far back will the new East Stand be?
Is part of Henry St being knocked down, or even all of it?

Dave, according to the outline plans, the properties behind the current east stand, right through to Central Drive would all be demolished, as part of a wider development. Buliders yard would alo be relocated

Thanks pete.
That means a whole lot of houses going, especially if Central drive is included in the plans.
Where will they be rehoused?

It will be dealt with as part of the Council CPO. There has been mention of some housing but I can't see it in this part of the scheme. Probably, the other side of Revoe park, where they propose to demolish and relocate the school. I think the existing school site will be new housing / flats
