Blackpool fans have finally ended their boycott of the team's games as the club confirmed a change of bank account mandate following the appointment of a new board.
Supporters had been furious with the lack of investment under the ownership of the Oyston family, and since relegation from the Premier League in 2011 the two parties have been involved in a long running feud.
Chairman Owen Oyston was removed from the board on Monday, with Ben Hatton, Ian Currie and Tim Fielding, coming into the club in new roles.
