Fans will be able to watch Seasiders head coach Ian Evatt and his staff put the players through their paces ahead of the opening game of the season: the Carabao Cup tie at Grimsby Town on Saturday, August 8.

The doors will open at 10.30am with training set to get underway at 11am, after which the supporters can have their photos taken with players and get their autographs.

Entry is free and admission is via the Junior Seasiders entrance in the South Stand, with seating in the West Stand.

Concourse facilities and the club shop will also be open on the day, which will see children’s activities throughout and prizes on offer.

It also allows fans a chance to see the concourse artwork undertaken by Rob Purdon, who will also be present to help the younger supporters as they can assist him with his next project.

Anyone wishing to attend must fill out this form.

The club has also announced details of its mascot packages for the 2026/27 season.

Junior supporters aged 13 and under can meet the first-team squad on a matchday, look behind the scenes, go inside the dressing room, enjoy a pre-match kickabout with Bloomfield Bear and lead the side out onto the pitch at Bloomfield Road.

They will also receive a Seasiders goodie bag on arrival, have a photo and feature in the matchday programme as well as a centre circle photo with the match officials and team captains.

The packages are priced at £135, excluding match ticket and kit, with details available by visiting the club shop or contacting 01253 599745.

Numbers are limited per fixture, so fans are urged to book as soon as possible.
