Spot on, as always. I love reading your blogs. As others have said, you manage to keep a balance, the humour keeps us going and you always manage to articulate what most of us are feeling- win, lose or draw- without resorting to abusing individuals. Thanks for making a very strange season feel...

Brilliant blog. Always good but that's a bit special, like the game. 🧡🍊

The boycott which happened because of the Oystons was a unique action we were forced into because of the extreme circumstances we were in. It was so successful because it was such a difficult thing to decide to do and the problem was about a lot more than results on the pitch. To suggest we play...

Tangerine Wizard anyone? My brother's favourite Wembley outfit 🤣🍊🧡

Exactly. Which is why this is an issue for fans of all clubs. I don't understand this insular, narrow view of " only interested in my club". Of course our club is out main priority but as we don't exist in a bubble, the things going on elsewhere can affect us too. That's why we used to say...

On the contrary. The support we had from the fans of other clubs was outstanding. Not just Blackburn/Orient/Charlton and other crisis clubs but everyone. Those of us who stood outside the ground every match day from 2015 to 2019, leafleting visiting fans week after week, month after month, year...

I absolutely love it when the North Stand is in full voice and the rest of the ground joins us- Fortress Bloomfield Rd. It's a magnificent sound! It does so much for the players too, we really can make a difference. So proud of the lads tonight. Gutted we didn't get through but I thoroughly...

Anyone who has listened to Clarke Carlisle talk about this subject can't fail to realise just how devastating the consequences can be when some players are singled out for abuse. It's all very well being a football fan and getting frustrated when players are not doing well, but there's a huge...

The Blackpool campaign and the evidence we were able to give to the Fan Led Review panel was one of the main drivers of these changes (confirmed to me by the Government lawyer who oversaw the review). Every Blackpool fan that contributed in any way should feel very proud tonight. We are a...

The shadow board idea is just one of many suggestions as to how supporters can be represented at their clubs. As the relevant section from the Government White Paper shared by Robbie explains , this is not a definite thing, it clearly states that one size doesn't fit all and wouldn't therefore...

The plan is for the young people involved in this to take the lead, so absolutely. This is just a preliminary stage to get things up and running. 👍

BST streamed the last AGM and have asked the club to stream their supporter meetings, but let's not let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.😉

Fiduciary is certainly displaying hot headedness but I'm not convinced that it's due to youth......🤣🤣

Most things are done via Zoom and online, would be great if your 20 year old would like to get involved. The youth advisory board idea is just beginning and will be led by the young people. Just a thought. 😊

How old are your sons TS? BST have asked for 16-30 year old Blackpool fans to get involved with the formation of a youth advisory board. It's already gaining momentum and is for the representation of younger supporters across the fan base. If your sons have opinions that they want to share and...

I was asked by the interim board to help out at the hotel Phil, based on my 36 years experience in hotel management and nothing whatsoever to do with being part of BST. Which you already know as this particular piece of misinformation has been done to death.

BST have NEVER tried to oust other groups- quite the opposite. We support the position that the club should engage with all supporter groups and are glad that Julian Winter has indicated that the club intend to do just that. We are all Blackpool fans and should be supporting each other and the...

I don't know of any successful business that hasn't made mistakes or failed at some point. The ones that survive are the ones that learn from those mistakes. Simon Sadler is a brilliant business man but has no football background other than being a fan. Neither did Brett. Ben Mansford did well...

Good point. There's more than one way to bring in an experienced person though, so maybe both 👍

A good manager needs to be able to inspire, to motivate, to lead, to be courageous. Dobbie ticks all those boxes. "Experience" is massively overrated! To be able to get a tune out of this squad after all that's gone on shows that he "gets it". Get an experienced no 2 in to support but give the...
