Only thing I can see saving this season! Couple of easy games at home and a nice 5th round away trip to a top Prem club? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Some good news! on 20:10 - Oct 25 with 1299 views | spooner | Find it difficult to celebrate this, or any other news regarding competitions in which we'll either have no interest, or will only serve to highlight our plight. I am dreading the FA Cup Third Round draw, which will, probably, only serve to enhance our embarrassing predicament. Imagine Fleetwood, North End or AFC Fylde in the 3rd. Round. We've regularly been humiliated in this competition in recent years, but at least were able to put a woeful cup run in perspective, preferring to concentrate on progression through the divisions. We are now a laughing stock in all departments and, harsh as it may seem, deserve to be put out to grass. Is there another club in the Football League which has deliberately engineered its demise as a consequence of its profitability? I will never be embarrassed to be a Blackpool supporter, but believe I and many others deserve a greater return on our investment over the years. I feel betrayed. | ![](/images/avatars/16256.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
