FAO VOLUNTEERS

[BFC59]

It's been pleasing to see the volunteers group numbers growing this year and we have got through some good work and it has been much appreciated by the Club.
But obviously the pandemic has stopped all the work quite rightly, nothing is more important than our health.
Hopefully we can start in some form in 2021 and it will be good to meet up with like minded fans again.
Stay safe everybody.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Volunteering was something I am missing during these strange times. The friendliness of fellow fans the banter and the feeling of doing something useful is sorely missed and will be resumed as soon as it’s safe to do so I hope. Of course the safety and health of each other comes first, so if we can’t get back just yet so be it.

 

[GJJW]

Brilliant effort by all involved.
Merry Christmas.

Drove past the ground today those rusting stations are a thing of the past. A club to now be proud of

Yes it’s been a labour of love, and we’ve made new friends, had a good laugh, a good moan, bad backs, aching muscles but a massive amount of satisfaction. I know not everyone on this forum agrees with the volunteering, but hey, it’s what we do. Let’s hope we’re back at it and watching the Pool again sometime in the New Year! All the best to everyone in these strange times. ️

 

[Toastrack]

Being able to volunteer is representative in a small way of the complete change of ethos within the club, the start of the reconnection with the wider community.
It's just a pleasure to do a little bit towards restoring some pride in the ground & the club.

Happy Christmas to one & all, and hopefully we'll be pulling on the Marigolds soon

It’s nothing to do with the moaners on this board who don’t agree with your volunteering Levi..... every credit to you all, you should be proud of yourselves

Pissed off if it isn't mate on a more serious note Mick it's been a pleasure to meet you through volunteering, a true passionate Blackpool fan.

Merry Christmas to the Dads and Mums Army.

I actually did volunteer my services during the boycott. I offered to take Owen on in a boxing match, as we are similar in age, I didn’t receive a reply. Can’t think why.

Cheers Dave I try and do my bit, it's been a pleasure meeting you and the other volunteers. #UTMP

 

[20togo]

Yep, I did a couple of days prior to the welcome back but every credit and a thousand thanks to all those who've continued to put so much work and effort in. Way beyond the call of duty. Fantastic. Everyone I'm sure is so proud of you.

You’ve done more than ‘a bit’ in numerous different ways over the years TAM.

I think you have done enough.

 

[Macseasider]

Have to echo a massive thankyou that all of you that volunteer to make OUR football club better. It's hugely appreciated.

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

Does, anybody know how to get rid of pigeons.

If we lived up there I'd be volunteering like a shot! We're going to move up there when we retire though so one day.......

You would be more than welcome Valley McBeal, you would get to know some really nice Blackpool fans and all for a good cause. OUR CLUB.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

 

[Tangerinetiltingatwindmil]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow volunteers missing you all like mad.
Can’t wait to get back.
Wishing you all a merry Christmas ️️️

 

[MartonBornandBred]

Merry Christmas to all volunteers. Looking forward to getting back with you all.

 

[M61Exile]

Well done to the volunteers - superb effort - let's hope their next job isn't putting up plastic covers between each seat (no doubt some idiot at the EFL will see this as 'a way back'!

 

[Willie Mcgrotty]

I did some volunteering & took my lad who'd never been interested & came merely to get volunteering on his CV. We got really lucky on one visit by being designated seats to clean high up in the west, accessible via the lift & around hospitality. He loves history & got transfixed by all the old photos & memorabilia. Added to that on the way down all the dressing/boot/physio rooms were open for a sneaky look & therefore it became a mini stadium tour. Ever since its now who are "we" playing today. All through volunteering.

 

[Wizaard]

I can't help but notice that lots of clubs at all levels have the seats covered by canvases , sometimes with ads on them . Presumably the ads would cover the expense of purchasing? Worth investigating if this situation continues and would solve the pigeon problem.

 

[basilrobbie]

Something to be very proud of. Supporting the club is one thing, helping it in practical ways is quite another. It gives you a really good feeling of achievement.

I mentioned it but the covers are apparently very expensive. "One camera" doesn't give much coverage from an advertising point of view.
