There was much interesting discussion on a variety of topics put to the board by Blackpool fans.

The meeting was minuted and the club will make those minutes available on its website for all to read. I encourage you to read them.

You’ll learn something of the behind-the-scenes complexity of running a football club in a time of Covid, the board’s assessment of the balance and strength of the squad as we move into the final third of the season, the likely impact of the removal of the salary cap, how the club plans to ready itself for the eventual return of fans to the stadium, the latest on longer-term plans for a new training ground and East Stand, and a more immediate and exciting prospect of the youth team playing home games at Stanley Park next season and the work required – including a proposal to engage fans in the efforts – to make the facilities fit for purpose.

These are such enormously difficult times for all of us, the football club, its staff and players, and the fanbase.

We are very fortunate in our owner and will emerge from the impact of the pandemic and its challenges stronger and more together.

In the meantime, please stay connected in whatever way you can, via iFollow – not perfect but better than no live stream – via the club’s social media output on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and through the excellent fan-produced blogs and podcasts that are out there.

Here’s hoping the Seasiders can go to Charlton Athletic on Saturday and bring back three points.
