Down again

Strange this have sympathies in a way with working in the area, club badly mismanaged this may not be their final relegation mind you they did take the Michael flying a plane with a banner over Deepdale five years ago but bit sorry for them, weird

I feel sorry for genuine fans but not the awful owner they have. Sadly, I can see them dropping out of the league altogether if their situation continues.

No sympathy at all. Bunch of arseholes. Hope they go down again.

Tell it like it is LS

They should have left the pitch. Fair enough they have a right to protest but to get a match abandoned is morally wrong. Don't care how much of an arsehole Oyston is, what they did last season is unforgiveable.

After the joy of their brief stay in the Premier League for which they earned a lot of praise by trying to attack, an attitude I'd remind you their supporters cheered, even when they were losing, Blackpool were dismantled by a Chairman who deliberately turned them into relegation fodder. They started their season with anyone who was willing to wear their unattractive strip! They were relegated before their season started. This is the club many of these fans had supported their whole lives. They'd been given hope and then had seen it crushed in front of their eyes. NO ******* WONDER THEY WERE ANGRY AND HAVE REMAINED SO. An important part of their lives has been stolen by an ill-motivated owner, who, if the Football League had any sense of justice, would be expelled from any official position in the game for life.

I'd have supported any Blackpool fan in any demonstration short of physical violence and vandalism to attempt to keep the club in existence. Appalling things happen to football clubs. Chesterfield was in the hands of a criminal while we were thinking how lovely it was being nine points clear at the top. Fans who live the game and care about their clubs are generally just so many victims to the power of money and the men at the top who choose to let it happen. Losing 1-5 to Brentford is far from the worst thing that could happen to Huddersfield. I hope nothing worse does ever happen, but if it does it will not be fans who caused it. They'll be numbered among the victims and I'll be on their side.

Snooty, you are far too able, decent and likeable a man to sustain such a blinkered view of Blackpool. Theirs is a tragedy that might befall almost any of us. Name all the clubs in the 92 which are genuinely owned by their fans. Exeter City and how many others? I thought we were meant to be on the side of fans, not rich ****** owners who inherit a club from an even richer ****** of a dad in a silly hat!

I was on their side right up until they invaded the pitch and got our game with them at the end of last season abandoned.
Unforgivable.
What was the point? What did it achieve? Why ruin our sesson?
Shite to em!

Amelia Chaffinch · 09-05-2016, 19:53

I think they had a right to protest. I didn't like that they got the match called off or that it went down as a draw. However, I think they made a mistake by giving Oyston their money in the first place. He was laughing that day. What did he lose? Nothing.

**themaclad** · 09-05-2016, 21:31

Can see both points of the argument but could never figure out why did the police not clear them from the pitch?

I almost agree Amelia, but if they'd all just boycotted the club they might have closed down the very club they wanted to save. That might have been what Oyston wants.The Huddersfield game was at an end not the beginning of a process and it was an act of desperation from people with zero power. If someone had taken notice would it then have miraculously become forgivable? So what's unforgivable, failure? Well my club is generically unforgivable on that basis, we almost always fail.

As to the future growth of this website, what if Blackpool fans visit and think nice place to air our views? They take a look at what's been said about them. Oh yes that's the place we'd like to be, before we even had our say they think we were a set of 'rseholes ....... We could just put up one of those landlady signs: No Black pool or Irish here!

I can appreciate it made a bad day for Huddersfield, but they've been awful seasons for a club like Blackpool and there's little real sign the slide will stop. Where for instance did their parachute payment go? It certainly didn't go on players or big wages did it?

Deep down I wish they'd continued stopping games and that opposition fans had joined them on grounds that if you don't support your friends then, when you're on the hit list yourself, there'll be no one left to be on your side. At least that would have forced an investigation into whether fit and proper people were running the club with the interests of sport and football itself at heart.

Snoots you're a good bloke who supports a club I like in a town I know ........ you've got a good brain, plug it in next to the laptop and see the bigger picture. This really is unworthy of you. You're throwing punches at an opponent not even here to stand up for itself.

In Division 2 next season we might have Plymouth, Portsmouth, Luton and Blackpool. Now can anyone see a developing pattern? And at the same time Burton will be in the Championship and Accrington might make Div 1 ................ Wasn't it Billy Cotton who used to shout WAEYEKEY WAAAKEYE?
