Living on the fylde I’ve followed Blackpool for the last 6 years. I’ve sent messages to the club but I’m assuming we may have missed the boat for this.

Club tweeted it yesterday

It’s not a club designated link it’s an EFL one, you select the league and then select the club and it will sync the league, League Cup and EFL trophy fixtures straight to your phone

Just really have to hope for awful fixtures against the likes of Crawley, Forest Green etc during September
It’s really dampened the enthusiasm for me that we won’t be able to go to games, and will even more so if we play Carlisle, Morecambe or Bolton in that first month

Same its definitely but a dampener on the new season

Hopefully they will take regional considerations into account when producing the fixtures, for exactly the reasons you state. Anyway we'll soon find out.

Such a shame that covid has ruined us looking forward to the fixtures release as we don't know when we can attend i don't see why lower non league can have 15% and then 30% in but league clubs can't

Probably because of the numbers involved and wanting to keep large numbers of people from being in one place at the same time, even "outside" in a football ground.

In League 2 for example, Bolton's ground holds ca. 25000 so 30% is 7500.

There will be no non league club at that level that would have a capacity of 30% that numbers wise would be more than 500, which is much more managable and comparable to a busy supermarket on a weekend for example.

What i would like to see, and quickly, i.e. within a week, is a number of football test events, at various levels from premiership clubs down to National League, with the maximum numbers of people each club is able to accomodate safely within the current guideline, and once proven safe, get those numbers in ASAP, without a wait until October.

Starting in Scotland in September....wonder how long it'll take for us to follow suit.

I won't pretend I'm disappointed that some of the fixtures have been released but I am disappointed we miss out on some decent revenue from a large travelling Bradford City support for our opener. That'd have been a cracker to start with. At least by February we should be good to go to Carlisle.

Stevenage it is first game

Carlisle v Barrow 3rd Oct?

Stevenage home first game

Carlisle and Bolton in October, gutting mate, hopefully we are allowed in soon enough to see these games.

Why are there no local derby games over the festive , or easter period .
Morecambe , carlisle over the Christmas period would have been massive gates , if all gets back to normal very disappointed in them fixtures
