True, but at least he’s stuck with it, especially after the five-year plan went out the window. I’d trade places with a Fylde fan any day if we got the financial stability and taste of success that they’ve had.

As we know. Another Rushden and Diamonds in the making.

What is the ultimate aim of these clubs though? I feel the unrealistic aim of every club no matter what level is to win, no, retain the Champions League or why bother? But seriously, who has always dreamed of mid table mediocrity in League One?
Whats the end game for Wrexham? Salford City? Are Fleetwood about to slide down a massive snake now that Andy Pilley is living indoors?

They seem to just be rich men's vanity projects.

Agree on the stewards but otherwise Fylde's a brilliant stadium and complex. It's also strategically placed to take advantage of the growth and new investment around the area as well as the rapidly increasing population of Preston itself. It was noticeable how around the ground it was pretty much deserted when we went in 2021 but far more developed in 2023 and investment and grants continue to pour in around there. I'd say their chairman is a pretty shrewd guy.
