Blackpool FC writer Matt Scrafton will be joined by Blackpool Supporters’ Trust’s (BST) honorary vice-president Tim Fielding to discuss what has been another momentous week for the football club.

Owen Oyston was handed another major blow in court on Monday, where he was ordered to immediately pay up the £25m he owes Valeri Belokon – or face the consequences of enforcement action being taken to make him sell his assets.

So what’s next for the football club? Is this time up for the Oystons? And what action should the EFL take?

We will also be looking ahead to Jimmy Armfield’s funeral, which takes place at St Peter’s Church in Lytham Road on Thursday.

The audio of the private service will be broadcast live at Bloomfield Road, with his cortege set to drive through the stadium when he makes his final journey through the town.

Matt and Tim will also reflect on Blackpool’s disappointing 1-1 draw at Bury on Saturday.

The web chat will be starting at noon on The Gazette’s Facebook page.
