Re: Oyston Removed
Karl Oyston went a long time ago, his sister took over as chairman but she’s also been removed by the receiver. New board of four including a supporter who is on as an observer.Lancasterclaret wrote:Karl Oyston still there, or has the biggest **** gone already?

Let's hope lots of their fans return for the next home game and prove they can still operate as a club.

Re: Oyston Removed
Just lifted this from one of their fan forums.
Apparently, one fan, once sued by the Odious O's, has been appointed to observe the sale.
Not sure if that's the Tom Folding they're on about.
Plus it's costing the Oystons over a million to have someone sell it all from under them!
Lovely touch.
Paul Cooper in his role as Court Appointed Receiver has today made a number of major changes to the structure and day-to-day running of Blackpool Football Club (Properties) Limited and Blackpool Football Club.
As the Receiver of the shares in both Companies, he has made the following board changes which are effective immediately:
Owen Oyston and Clive Brooks have been removed from the board of Blackpool Football Club (Properties) Limited.
Ben Hatton (Executive Director and Managing Director) and Ian Currie (Non-Executive Director) have been appointed to the Board while Michael Bolingbroke will act as Consultant to the Board.
Owen Oyston and Natalie Christopher have been removed from the board of Blackpool Football Club Limited.
Ben Hatton (Executive Director and Managing Director) and Ian Currie (Non-Executive Director)and Tim Fielding (Non-Executive Director carrying out an observational role with no voting rights) have been appointed to the board while Michael Bolingbroke will act as Consultant to the Board.

Re: Oyston Removed
Sorry mate the ground didn’t hold that and they haven’t got 30k fans. Did you mean 3k? I do know it was a massive crowd for 4th division game. Tremendous atmosphere and a great following for a midweek game. They do travel away in large numbers. Not a lot of em but tremendously loyal. Love em.tim_noone wrote:Hope the fans return in big numbers... Well done them! Remember when they brought 30thousand for the midweek 4th division game against us!

Re: Oyston Removed
The one thing the Blackpool fans did was stick at their protest even when they were promoted - they stayed away in their numbers and continued their "NOT A PENNY MORE' campaign. It must be hard staying away from games as they've done but they are now finally getting their reward.

Unless it was typo (which I assume it was) it has gone completely over my head. It couldn't possibly have been an attempt at sarcasm (because it's not very good if it was, sorry).Lord Beamish wrote:I think that Tom’s post may have gone over your head somewhat, Houseboy.
*Is it really so long since this was posted - doesn't time fly with anasthetic.
And typos abound it seems - it was TIM.
