Blackpools friendly against Lancaster has been abandoned, again due to fans refusing to leave the pitch. I wonder if they have anything planned for the 15th August? |  | | |  |

Trouble is, a good many fans won't be willing to travel on an assumption. Whilst I disagree that £25 is too much to watch Dale hopefully beat Blackpool on their own midden, £25 is definitely too much to watch a bunch of fat tangerines sit in the centre circle.
I know it's a cliche, but... Isn't there any way the Dale Trust, as representatives of Dale fans as a whole, can approach the FL and ask them what those assurances might entail?

Its not a easy problem to solve, 3 year banning orders might focus the minds of those entering the playing arena but that seems a bit extreme.
Playing behind closed doors is another option but surrounding the pitch with loads of security seems the most likely.
If the pitch invasions continue, they could even be suspended from the league until the behind the scenes problems are sorted out. One things for certain, if anymore league matches are affected i expect the FL to take drastic measues, they have no other option. [Post edited 12 Jul 2015 11:11]

One quote off their BackHenrySt forum;
It is war
Until we have to play behind closed doors the protest/abondeonments should continue every game"
It is then widely agreed that that should be the plan of action. The Blackpool fans I know won't even go in the ground until the oystons have gone, so if this is the way majority are protesting then there won't be too many in the ground to invade the pitch. |  | | |

I'm going to go to the game but will be mightily peed off if the Tangerine Army invade the pitch and get the game abandoned.
25 quid up the Swannee if that happens.
What's the protection (if any) if I pay by credit card? Can the credit card company do a claim back if Blackpool Football Club fail to deliver what was ordered? Any chance of Dale Trust looking into this? Thanks in advance chaps.
I really sympathise with the Blackpool fans over this. They're caught between a rock and a hard place over how they express their dissatisfaction over the current owners. Simply not buying merchandise or food & drinks in the ground won't be sufficient if they still receive parachute payments from the Premier League. I believe Blackpool share the same forum so if any webmaster can do some links it would be appreciated. Again, thanks in advance.
I would go into detail but Karl Oyston seems litigation happy over internet posts. It must be hard riding your daddy's coat-tails! |
Your credit card agreement is only for purchases of over £100. If you buy tickets for 5 supporters, I guess the chance is you will all get reimbursed, but not for a single ticket. |  |

Cheers SuddenLad, much appreciated.
So will the club block buy for us on their company credit card and then resell on to us? They can even collect the reward points. [Post edited 13 Jul 2015 10:03]

The key to that is whether the Credit Card company interpret the purchase a a single transaction over £100 or multiple individual purchases of £25 each.
I can see it running and running. | |

With respect to the Blackpool fans, they're not doing this in half measures and they're following through to the bitter end. I don't think the Police will do much to stop the protests because their duty is to public safety. Until away or other home fans start causing tension with the protesters, it'll go on and on. Even then I suspect they'll just refuse to police their games and they'll end up being played behind closed doors. They'll also stop Blackpool bringing in any heavy stewards that could raise tensions. The Football League should get involved but anything that goes against the fans would be terrible for them. |  | | |

What happens if I and a few mates decide to stop them if they do it during the Dale match? I fecking hate S"itsiders LOL , always a payback time with them . :-)
I do actually have sympathy with them tbh but they cannot distrupt a league game again. They got away with the Huddersfield game because it was a dead rubber...do you think the Huddersfield fans would of stood by if they had something to play for? |  | | |

What happens? I'll tell you what'll happen.
You (and your mates) will be arrested and possibly banned for life, but not before you've had your heads kicked in.
Go ahead, make our day.
LOL

Many Blackpool fans i know are not attending but still going football to the likes of AFC Blackpool, Squires Gate & Fleetwood Town instead in dispute of their current owner
But surely the Football League will have to do everything in its power to make sure a repeat of Blackpool v Huddersfield Town doesn't happen with Rochdale they could make it Away Fans only BCD with sponsors
Hopefully both club's are looking at this fixture very carefully and putting plans into place [Post edited 13 Jul 2015 15:16]

Because they are running a professional football league | |

Tazzy, surely you meant to say "doesn't happen" rather than "happens" ? | |

If the pitch invasions continue, Blackpool FC will end up playing games behind closed doors, and probably depending on the score at the abandonment , may have to forfeit games.
Facts are simple...If you want to pay £25 and there is a possibility that the game wont finish, that's your choice. As it stands today, it might happen...
Or you don't pay in the ground and the pitch invasion/abandonment doesn't happen, then you will save £25 but miss the game.
IMHO if our game get abandoned, it will probably get played later on in the season, after the Oystons have sold up. |  | | |

what do you want them to say "oh yes we are going to invade the pitch" ? It is now a 'terrorist' campaign, the threats means more security has to be employed thus costing the Company money. Also they do not necessarily know where and when they will hit. Lots of campaigns around the town - things like the Oyston Estates estate agents boards being "rebranded"
By the way, are you all aware that the "away seats" are now BEHIND the goal and not at the side anymore (the North stand where the Kop used to be). |  |

Morecambe have called off the friendly with Blackpool due to have been played next week stating that Lancashire Police wanted extra police presence, which Morecambe were unwilling to pay for. | | | |

The Blackpool players are going to be starting the season seriously undercooked and disheartened. IF we can get a full game on, couldn't be a better time to play them. | |

I think they're inferring that they don't believe Mr Oyston is working in the best interests of Blackpool FC. That's old news. |  | | |
