Our first mascot of the season Billy enjoys his day at the Hibernian game.

Billy was our first mascot of the season at the friendly against Hibernian on Saturday.

Billy's mum Louisa said "I want to say a huge thank you for yesterday. Billy had the time of his life as his dream became reality. The young lad Rob, who looked after him was so good with him. He has memories that will last a lifetime too."

Thanks to the success of the 1953 Sweepstake, and some kind donors we are this year able to fund a mascot for EVERY home league game.

As last year, we propose to allocate 75% of the mascots to BST Members and their families, with the remainder going to good causes

1953 Sweepstake

This is, as far as we know, the only lottery of its kind that raises money exclusively for Blackpool FC, its fans and the local community. Remember:

• you don't have to be a member to join

• it costs from just £5 per month to enter

• 40% of what we earn is paid out in monthly prizes

• the remaining 60% is allocated to all the various initiatives we undertake

• we run the scheme in-house so there are NO overheads.

The more support we have from you and other ‘Pool fans - the more we can do. Please support us if you can, as every entry helps. You can sign up to the Sweepstake here:
