Some good news that we've all been waiting for and very pleasing that we've all been treated equally with the news being released the correct way, on the club's website -
Fans' Forum With New Owner On Monday
Simon Sadler To Meet Broad Cross-Section of Fan Base
Blackpool FC is to hold a ‘Meet The Owner’ Fans' Forum on Monday (1st July).
New owner Simon Sadler will be at Blackpool FC next week and has indicated he would like to meet with a broad cross-section of the fan base in order to start building a relationship with supporters.
The event, which is by invitation only, is intended to allow for an exchange of information and aspirations between Simon and fans as the club enters into this new phase.
In order to make the discussion as productive as possible, the number of attendees will be restricted to 80.
A quarter of the places will be offered equally to committee members of the main fans’ organisations BSA, BST, MSG, TKs, BASIL, Yorkshire Seasiders and Leyland and Chorley Seasiders.
The majority of places will be open for allocation to the wider fan base, by application to the new Supporters’ Liaison Officer.
If the event is over-subscribed, there will be a random draw to help decide on those in attendance, cross-referenced to the attendance list from the March Fans’ Forum to give priority to those who did not attend the earlier forum.
The Fans' Forum will be held on Monday at Bloomfield Road in Rowley’s, arrival from 6.30pm for a prompt 7.00pm start.
When emailing to apply for one of the 60 open places, please answer all of the following:
1) The two questions you would most like to ask Simon Sadler: 2) Your Age: 3) Supporters' Group Affiliations (if any): 4) 2019/20 Season Ticket holder Y/N (block if applicable): 5) Corporate user (ie lounge/1953) Y/N: 6) Fylde Coast based or Exile:
The personal information above is being sought for demographic purposes only.
The two questions for Simon will be used to help shape the agenda even if you are not able to attend the event.
Please register your interest and send answers to slo@blackpoolfc.co.uk by 5pm tomorrow (Friday 28th June).
Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.
I note the SLO is now getting involved. That Steve Rowland? who always does a good job.
"Simon Sadler To Meet Broad Cross-Section of Fan Base" - The last forum with Hatton and Bolingbroke, while an excellent initiative, was skewed by a narrow demographic - middle aged, white, male. I'd hope to see minorities represented for example, more women, young, handicapped, ethnic. A random draw may not facilitate this.

Hope they can come to some agreement to stream it live, or at least make a video of it to be available to view after the event.

Suggested questions for SLO?
I'd like to know what is replacing Young Seasiders?
Spell
Agree that a couple of places should be reserved for disabled supporters.
"If the event is over-subscribed, there will be a random draw to help decide on those in attendance, cross-referenced to the attendance list from the March Fans’ Forum to give priority to those who did not attend the earlier forum".
That should get some fresh faces with any luck. 60 places up for grabs to the general public, should shut up a few moaners.

Spell with the last forum there was a greater emphasis on the existing groups ( they got approx 60% ) however the remainder was open invite
There was only 5 women ( 4 were BSA reps ) there however the reality was only two applied for the 22 open places and one was selected in a random draw
The Disability Rep was invited but couldn't make it
Obviously this time 75% of a larger pool will be open invites Hopefully we will see more female applicants

Who do the tangerine knights represent? Anyone know.
I really like this Sadler fella already. Very open and inclusive it appears. Recognises that fans exist beyond groups, forums, sycophants and he who shouts loudest.

Yes TAM, it depends on who the applicants are.
Things such as this, and the point raised by Stu, have got to be settled over time, baby steps.
I'm guessing that some board members had some input into this & have taken lessons from the previous forum.
I was under the impression the TK were disbanding?
TAM
Will yourself and the other board members be there?

Good to see not just me irritated when I hear committee members of the main fans organisations How many organisations have we got if they’re the main ones Seriously how many do we need?

I think the board are playing it craftily.
It's true some of the fans' groups listed on the invitation don't have an open membership policy, something like a constitution, or even democratic inclinations.
Their presence is undesirable to some and In a normal world, they wouldn't be invited.
However, BFC are in a unique situation and the board can't come charging in like a bull in a china shop excluding this and banning that.
All in good time.

Hope you’re right spell. So who do the TKs represent? Too many big egos who just can’t let go. Can we get back to being a normal club again.

Would be good to see an un edited video from seasidelee,so we can hear how people answer the questions not just some half made up sentence in the gazette. Thought the TK's had called it a day,maybe Oystons are still involved in the club in some way.

Yes to a video of the event.

Stu - I know nothing and am making assumptions.
But I do believe that Hatton and Bolingbroke are wily foxes and the Muckers / TKs will sooner or later make some serious gaffs.
I agree wholeheartedly with you but also think we need to give the board a bit of leeway for the moment and let them get on with things.
imo There should be a MAXIMUM of 3 supporters groups - Linked to the club - Previously fulfilled by BSA and FPG Independent from the club - Fulfilled by BST Neither - Want to be in a group but don't "do" groups - Hoolies etc
People are obviously allowed to do what they want in and outside of these groups. Nobody has to wait to be told what to do or how to behave. Be free ✌ï¸
Further suggestion for SLO - please get some plans together for coach travel from Cleveleys. Make FY5 Tangerine again ðŸŠ

But to get a st for block a or b you had to go through msg, so no those that wanted a season ticket for one of those blocks weren’t free to do what they wanted. Is there another club that would do this?

Really doubt that will happen again. Quite a few of Block C seems to have been sold, but hardly any sold for A & B.
(I'm trusting the online booking system here)

Things like that won’t be repeated hopefully Stu ☹ï¸

Just read on the other site TK moaning because they’ve just found out about it. Can someone from the club explain why they got an invite. They represent no one.

The fact people are moaning about getting no advance warning I'll take as a positive. Everyone getting message at the same time, no one ITK.
