A struggling family wouldn't pay half of £125 when that could pay food for the week out of it.
Because your a classic champagne socialist with mock outrage whilst living like a capitalist.
We look at things differently you and I. My preference is for the Club to be seen to be interacting with the local population; to understand where and how they are living and to be sensitive to those things. It's a different thing altogether in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea I will admit. However our Club needs to not only interact wiith its big supporters - plenty of away games, season tickets, mascot packages, drinks in the posh bars in the ground - but also with it's potential fan base in the more deprived areas.
And then people will moan like fuck about other people moaning.
You're.
The community trust who I know someone who works for them is always promoting BFC and does plenty of good work around Blackpool with children and is backed
by the club.
I appreciate your info about the good things that the Club does and yes, I am posting specifically about the mascot packages on this thread.The community trust who I know someone who works for them is always promoting BFC and does plenty of good work around Blackpool with children and is backed

If we where the only club in a poor area to charge for mascot packages you might have a point but I've named two on here PNE £350 Cod's £110 and could easily check others.
One mascot 23 home games is hardly a big deal when so much is done already.
Hospitality is full most weeks with people paying around £100. Have you seen how much it is to take a family of 4 to the Pleasure Beach?
No it's not the type of club I want. But this board is full of "I'm alright Jack" types and sycophants who think that by agreeing with every single decision the club makes gives them some sort of imaginary kudos. So it's not a true reflection of what people's opinions would be. Don't take it to heart pal.
The Pleasure Beach is - quite correctly - marketed at holidaymakers and trippers. The football club is marketed at residents. There's a world of difference
And if they're not "I'm alright Jack" types then they're certainly making a good fist of appearing to be on this thread.
They shouldnt be spending money going to matches then if a little extra for mascot is needed for food. Get in the real world, open them eyes.
Not really. Are you saying if you're poor you can't go to the Pleasure Beach? You are saying that we should be giving mascot deals away. As I've said elsewhere, BST do that, so allow the club to cost it to suit the market.
I am not saying either of those things.
How arrogant can people get. How dare you think of going to a football match if you are poor. Blimey, I'm really uncovering g some stones on this thread.
Dont go and pay to watch a match if you are in that position. No doubt you will get aled up and have a smoke before putting food on the table and money in the gas/electric meter.
Yes but didn't Ryan also do something as well off his own back
I think the max age is 12 (not sure).My lads 22 in oct, might buy him the mascot package
Because members children are also to be offered the opportunity and it’s their subs / BST lottery that fund the scheme
Are you a BST member ?
That bloke on his stag do who was 6ft odd and was led out by Jay Spearing was slightly older than 12I think the max age is 12 (not sure).
…but you could always lie
Fools and Horses style
Growth spurt!
Same for me in 81/82 vs Colchester.
In the same league as Blackpool.Only £110.00 with Fleetwood.
What are you waiting for? It's a Government pension.
Nobbers charge £350.I don’t think £125 is too bad these days really. A great experience for the youngsters will cost a tad more. It’s a business after all.
I believe Knobbers charge £250 for a similar experience, although they include a kit. So £125 for a kit is pricey on top of the experience.
Just don’t do what my little brother did when I bought him the experience many years ago!
Wore his shin pads on his thighs and ran out with the opposing team (Huddersfield) clapping the away fans
UTP
Oh really! That’s even worse! I must have misheard. Makes £125 look very good value!
Are all BST lottery subscribers members? Isn't BST a community benefit organisation? Maybe half going to the community would be in keeping with this?
but you got match tickets and a kit then you dont evven get match tickets now
then the cost of tickets and a kit lot more than 125 quid then
if you made it cheap they wouldn't be able to satisfy demand ... sadly everything has it's price.
free in 80s my late son was mascot 3 times
fantastic reply 66
It’s still a great day and a lifetime memory for a young Seasider, Xmas or birthday present not like they have to pay it every game, it’s a one off event
but costing more like £250 by the time you have bought tickets and kit etc its a lot for the poorer families
