This is a complete outrage. 08:08 - Jan 6 with 5197 views | Curryman | Taken from the old board, it seems that the O's, rather than trying to build any bridges with the disgruntled fans, are dynamiting all routes to any reconcilliation. In the words of some of the old cowboys, they are lower than a snake's belly. 'Up to now most fans threatened with legal action regarding comments made on this forum and other forms of social media have only received letters of pre action . As you may have recently read on other posts one of our fellow posters has now received documents from the Oystons solicitors which require him to fill in earnings and assets to be presented to the courts as well as a request to submit his defence . They have also paid the court fees for £610 to take the poster concerned to the High Court in Manchester with a claim lodged for upto £50,000 each for John Owen Oyston , Karl Samuel Oyston and Blackpool Football Club Limited .One of the ludicrous claims the solicitors have made is that the comments made by this fan have , amongst other claims for damages , hit this years season ticket sales . Our request for help is for anyone reading this message board who didn't renew this season , emails on the following address a quick resume as to why they didnt renew . Possible reasons may include a lack of investment over the past few seasons , being treated with contempt by the present owners , having only 8 players upto a week before the season started , pre season training tour cancelled etc etc etc . This in effect will show any judge preciding that to make a claim for these damages is ridiculous to say the least . Many thanks for your time and if any other fans have received a summons that we dont know about that these emails may also help please let us know on the below email address . justice4fans@outlook.com' [Post edited 6 Jan 2015 8:08]

This is a complete outrage. on 08:52 - Jan 6 with 5159 views | Wizaard | I think this is another error by the Oystons. Formal court proceedings could open a real can of worms that they might regret starting. Obviously, if you're the one summonsed, it is really stressful, but that short term pain for some individuals could result in a longer term better solution for the fanbase as surely a number of counter allegations will be made in court and the manner of the Oystons' stewardship will come under real scrutiny. Is that really what they want? | ![](/images/avatars/15067.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It just goes to show what this horrible family really are, nothing but a bunch of sewer rats. They would sooner spend money on taking an individual to court rather than address the real issues at Bloomfield road. I bet Telford and Waddington are rightly thinking this club is prepared to spend thousands of pounds at the courts on one football fan rather than pay us more than 200 quid a week (story in today's Mail on line) Absolutely criminal, words just cannot express it.

'comments made by this fan have , amongst other claims for damages , hit this years season ticket sales . ' Hahahahaha, nows that is a nonsense, but probably the best they can come up with for the 'serious harm' part of defamation. If this results in someone losing their livelihood, assets, etc then even I won't go to BR whilst the O's are still there. I think they've had some bad advice on this one - poor form [Post edited 6 Jan 2015 9:35]

This is a complete outrage. on 19:03 - Jan 6 with 4834 views | Tejas | I don't know what was in the offending posts and it's fast becoming irrelevant. It makes no sense at all to make war on your Customer base. I'm seeing people disappearing from the South as banning orders are issued and now this. If this was a normal Club I would say he Chairman has gone mad - but it's not a normal Club is it. The irony is that they are playing typical "rich man" tactics to bully the small people into court, and they're using football money to fund it. However, I am seeing a pattern emerging. 2 year season tickets, belligerence towards the fans, continued resistance to invest in anything associated with Football, lack of interest in youth players and no formal apologies for his recent appalling behaviour. Could this be the exit strategy we've all been waiting for? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

We are now witnessing the endgame for Oystons - this really is pathetic and I will do all I can to support the campaign against this | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Whatever it is, it's certainly self destructive, both for the Oystons and (more unfortunately) the football club. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Owen has always had a superiority complex and believes 'what he says goes' - in his daft head he's lashing out at a supporter who has called his family but truth be known he should be questioning why they've called his family. Anyone who runs a football club will always get stuck but anyone who runs down a football club shouldn't be surprised when it turns to abuse. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

'Because they will claim financial loss as a consequence of what has been alleged as customers stay away through the alleged falsehoods.' Forgive me if i'm wrong, but haven't there been a number of falsehoods spouting from someone elses mouth for a number of seasons? | ![](/images/avatars/15102.gif) |
