[InLambertWeTrust! 0]

We got 25k week in week out in the third tier - which is fantastic.Blackpool hope to get 20,000 in the premierleauge! WOW! My garden shed springs to mind...I would NOT swap positions with Blackpool. Would you?

[Sideshow Tim 110]

Remember they do only have 3 stands CT.

[Sideshow Tim 110]

.....and the away supporters will have the uncovered stand. That''ll go down well with the Chelsea fans on a cold wet winters night!!

20,000 would be with a expansion?

[Excited Canary 16]

I would swap positions with them, no doubt. Championship or Premiership? No doubt, every single day of the week.

[Mister Chops 3]

Of course I would, we would wipe all our debts out with one season in the Premier League & the parachute payments.

[City penguin 0]

[Bungay Canary 0]

[Captain Holt 231]

Blackpool are a decent club. There are worse clubs to swap with I reckon.

I thought we''d get rid of this arrogant big club with big crowds rubbish having spent a season in League 1.

[O.T.B.C 0]

I was thinking that too Trent.

This is why Leeds are hated....

Take a look at debt levels in the Prem..... you just have to make bigger ends meet = bigger debts.

CCC every time .....

Arrogant fans of ours are in a very, very small minority in my opinion.

[/quote]i wouldn''t, but there''s no need for the jealous swipe at them, fair play to them, they held their nreve the best out of the playoff teams this year, why shouldn''t they have their time in the prem, it''s up to us to work hard and get there ourselves, football isn''t won on attendance figures, it helps, but esentially it means naff all if the team doesn''t want it. If it was, i bet Shanghai Sheuna fans would be livid!

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

With a capacity of circa 13,000 can Blackpool really compete in the Premier League?

of course they can as a lot of prem revenue is tv money.

i do, but i believe i''ll have a more successful time in the long run supporting Norwich than Blackpool, looking at it long term

[Mello Yello 1,696]

Remember the Premiership in its infancy - of which we were a member?

We had gates of less than 16,000 for many of our home games....How many season ticket holders did we have then?

Attendance snobbery....methinks. Where were our ''beshtesh fushball shurpporters'' then?

[Houston Canary 0]

Wigan has small crowds and they''ve been up there for a good long time.

As was pointed out, crowd size becomes less and less important to club finances in the Prem as TV money gets bigger and bigger.

[/quote]Not questioning your support.  When you called yourself "a purist who puts football above money," I think you missed the point.  One year in the Premier League, if managed properly, would keep this club solvent and above water/debt-free for a very long time.  Winning and losing isn''t just done on the pitch any more, it''s also done in ledgers.Basically, to knock back the financial bonuses from the Premiership is to not really understand how to get the most for your club out of modern football.
