Ok that's great thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to get there by 4 o'clock.Davo55 said:
Scrap that - I've just looked at their twitter account and a linked internet forum. They have laid on coach travel from Blackpool to Preston and they say "returning at approximately 5pm" so I think you can take that as the time they expect to end the protest.Davo55 said:
@RedChaser I will email the Chair of Blackpool Supporters Trust to try to get an answer to thatRedChaser said:
@bigstemarra In the CARD post after the OP it says 3.pm start and I asked @N01R4M ,whithout a response 😒, what time it was expected to finish as I might be able to get there late afternoon M6 permitting but can't guarantee it. @Davo55 I appreciate that you are involved at the London end but do you have a contact at the Blackpool Supporters Trust for more details?bigstemarra said:
My plans have changed and I will be in sunny Preston this Friday, so you will have at least one Addick up there for solidarity purposes. I don't have any banners or anything; if you can get hold of some, then great - if not, I'll have to try and improvise. I know the location and it is very close to the main railway station for anyone else considering coming by train. Do you know when the protest is due to take place?N01R4M said:No-one has taken up my offer of a lift to Preston from the Stockport area - I expect the local Addicks all have work commitments.
Since I would not be comfortable being a one woman red & white protester in a sea of tangerine, I will save my protesting for another day.
Sadly, it looks as though there will be an on-going need.
Sorry @cafcwill but that means I will not be available to wave your banner at Preston.2 -
So what time are the coaches leaving the valley!Davo55 said:

Bump
21 "confirmed" now plus no doubt some who'll just turn up on the day.
Looking forward to seeing all you lifers. No name badges, but let's not be shy. If you're arrested for accosting strangers with cries of "you must be Davo!", I'll come and bail you out of Marylebone nick.

This evening, on the BT sports website:

In response to a message from CAST, Trusts from Orient and Wimbledon have posted details of the protest. As have the Spurs Trust, and Martin Cloake of their Trust has said he will try to be there in person. It's great to see that Trusts of FAPL clubs recognise the importance of this issue - even if their clubs' owners, and the FAPL don't.21

I hope to be there.2

I wasn’t interested in this tbh but given events this week, I’m going to try and get across London for an hour to show support if I can.
If you similarly are p’ed off with the clubs unique {...} challenge to the EFL, the general governance of football or concern for the future of our club, hopefully you too will have similar thoughts and help boost the numbers11 -

UPDATE
Good to get the additional names "signed up". Thank you all.
My contact in the Blackpool London supporters group (BASIL) is coming along with three others.
Looking like 30+ although some may not all be there at the same time, plus whatever other club's fans come along to support us.
Looking forward to it, and to meeting you other lifers.4 -
See you all there tomorrow2

I was looking forward to participating in this demo Davo.
Events now prevent me from attending.
Am right now at my son's bedside in a Naples hospital.
He has injuries consistent with a big fall or a big beating. Police not sure yet.
