Tonight's structured dialogue meeting.

The Leyland/Chorley Branch were not mentioned in the above groups. Did they get an invite?

Leyland and Chorley are one of the longest established groups who actually run/ran coaches for fans and are therefore very much active.
Personally I think included groups should be season ticket holders,family stand and ordinary members.

Criteria for regional groups should be those proven to provide a service or active involvement,which is why Yorkshire Seasiders are quite rightly included.
Just having a presence on social media ought not to guarantee any group inclusion,which in my experience causes ructions and arguments.
 
Reps are perfectly at liberty to feed back to their groups any time they like (all joking about vows of silence aside). For the benefit of ALL, a detailed minuting of the meeting will go on public record in the next 24 hrs. Those who query why it wasn't conducted as a mass meeting possibly don't get the point of structured dialogue and how it differs from a fans' forum - and there will be one of the latter in the near future.

That's fair enough. Thanks.
 
Blood. There was nothing ambiguous about what you posted. You'll not get the WUM crown back from OG though. Not your best effort and disappointing for the fans that fed you some genuine questions.

WTF are you going on about Bus? It's a long standing supporters Association that is for the many Pool supporters who live in London and the south of the Country, of who many attended the Court Cases at the Rolls on every day it was on. Plus someone asked who they were so I answered.

Your "detached & Deluded" comment is also completely made up as BASIL and its members have been nothing but supportive to BST and the removal of the Stains, so stop making things up.

Hertford - it's a shame that supporters are still attacking each other. As you said, we were as anti Oyston as anybody. However, it doesn't surprise me that Bus is talking groundless rubbish again.

Surely you didn't fall for Blood's rather transparent wind up about bribing his way to the meeting 😂

Still not one comment from a fans rep who attended....... looks like the way forward is an open free for all 😀

What do you want to know? All those there asked a question or two and most of Bloods compilation were asked in one form or another.

Good to speak to a board who want to know how they can make things better rather than tell us why it can't be done.
 
The big difference between now and in years gone by, is that I'm now 100% confident that whatever was said by the directors to the fans group was the truth, and I'm 100% confident that whatever the fans groups said to the board was genuinely listened to and will be given real consideration. I'm also confident that there won't be any need to miss anything off the minutes (unless financially sensitive) because we don't operate in a North Korean style any more - the owner has nothing to hide because he is actually working to better the club, rather than just pretending to.

Looking forward to the minutes, it'll be an interesting read I'm sure.
 
This is Ska said:
1 - In the 60's Ska was the music that gripped people around the world
2 - The Windrush generation introduce Ska to Britain
3 - Skinheads loved the music and joined Jamaicans on the British dance floors
4 - In 1979 2Tone continued to bring black and white people together
5 - Today Ska is enjoying a revival with many bands touring around the world

Indeed, I'm going to see the Selecter on Friday - should be a good night
 
When will the minutes be published? Not too fussed who goes and who doesn’t as long as what happens is reported back

Good call. For years that was as issue with the Football Supporters Federation who have improved things slightly,but still operate to a degree a clandestine operation that sometimes tricks fans into their agenda.
A good example was denying the former affiliates a vote when they merged with Supporters Direct,thus railroading through a constitution undemocratically.

If national policy was forced upon Blackpool fans then many of your groups wouldn't get a look in.

To be fair to the various fans groups its far better to let the SLO publish the minutes before wading in with your own observations which can't be contexualised without the minutes

The meeting was only last night and many attendees are at work

Let the SLO do his stuff

I don't think SLO is publishing the minutes. Someone's PA is preparing them according to what Steve posted.
I didnt fall for the Blood wind up as I think will be obvious from the other Board I just thought it was a poor effort.

How do you make that out “detached & deluded” TC when I as chairman was myself threatened with legal action by them 🙄

He might have been referring to other people who seemed to be that way for a while under the O's,and were big champions of the BASIL (imposter) group. Not trying to make fun here because I had this from the Bates tenure so know the ropes,but if you support the regime (as perceived) then it can take a long time to heal the wounds.

The minutes were taken by the PA along with Steve and it will be Steve publishing them by the weekend.

A summary will be that things are looking up, there's a plan in place, Critchley has the final say on recruitment subject to budget, training ground news is imminent, they were happy to take on constructive criticism, a number of potential joint working initiatives between the fans and the board were debated, transport to home and away games, ticketing for Fleetwood and there was a free bar.

All will be revealed.

Explain then please!
 
I'm starting a supporters group 'Fans who'd rather hack their kneecaps off with a rusty Coronavirus infected chisel than join a supporters group and have meetings and committees and newsletters in huts'.

Membership is 100 quid a year payable to me in cash and we promise no contact, no organised meetings and no committees as it's not even pretending to be a democracy.

No it wasnt disappointing at all for anyone because it was clearly a joke.

If you really believed that Steve R had given me a Wildcard invite because I bought him a pint in the bar then there is not much I can say mate.

Great news! I’m still going to stand outside the next one in the pissing rain though...turning my back on all who enter whilst wearing my £20 badge on the seat of my black Farahs. Principles innit.

One way to guarantee inclusion at the next meeting is to announce a BFC `transgender' or `ethnic' supporters group. 😉

I have just founded the STAGS “Seasiders Tangerine Asian Gay Society”....and The STAGS demand a seat at the table......Steve will sort us out or we will sue the club for discrimination and hate crime ...it’s that simple

These STAGS have Antlers!!

Reminds me a bit of the ' The People Who Hate People Party.'

God bless Bill.

Aye, indeed, there appears to be a lot of groups to say the least and as was also said, "non-aligned" will represent most fans. Tangerine Seasiders appears to be a facebook page. It appeared on there not too long ago. Tangerine Seasiders
