Apparently all went well at Blackpool's pilot game yesterday thier police giving it their backing and a lot of fans saying the atmosphere and experience was better than they thought it would be roll on next Saturday and hopefully we will be there.

It is a different public health authority in Blackpool, and we would need the PHA's blessing, plus Blackpool is outside the additional Government restrictions.

It is not clear whether Stanley have actually applied for a test event, the closest comparison is Fleetwood who have applied so I am watching them for any news.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Fleetwood are under the same restrictions as Hyndburn so if they get the go ahead would think we would also.

Apparently this virus doesn't transmit in Blackpool as they choose to break away from Lancashire many years ago who decides these ridiculous guidelines.

i think its all to do with cash, the lights are on.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Football needs money without significant return of fans sooner rather than later the lights will be going out.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

football means little to money people.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

That is why I said they are the closet comparison.

Blackpool are right on the edge and do no border any district with high numbers, not just to do with being a unitary.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

no changing rooms allowed to be open yesterday at my game. bar however was. the latter was packed. just give up on all this stupidity now. think cashy is right. where there is money about the virus cannot strike.

Just on website Stanley waiting for decision on Saturdays application for a pilot event allowing 1000 in against Oxford, we have sold 950 season tickets so if given go-ahead every one will be able to go if they choose.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

lets hope we get permission, if we do and people are sensible then we are going the right way imho.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Bolton were stopped from even applying by their own PHA, so the application itself is one positive on a bleak looking landscape, along with the 1,000 fans ensuring all current season ticket holders can get in

I hope I am wrong but I can't see it happening.

EFL tests were not announced until mid afternoon last Wed, it will be chaos getting ifollow codes if they leave it that late again, surely it will be tomorrow?

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

im very doubtfull but fingers crossed.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Word is Boris will announce tomrrow evening no test events or 30% crowds in areas under enhanched resrictions.

Re: Unlock tentative steps
 

Well that could be everywhere in the country then.
