Good riddance to the Oystons hopefully. Well done the stay away fans also.

It's all yours conyoviejo - I wouldn't have it given

Always liked Blackpool, particularly when their “fan of the season” got arrested on the pitch doing an interview before the match.

Now that WAS funny!

What year was that? I was young st the time (born 1987) but remember like yesterday.

Also remember being stood at the bottom of the terrace and the pitch was eye height

Was that in the paddock on the side of the pitch? Think that was one of my first away games in there. There were Burnley fans fighting Burnley fans at half time apparently over the last pie?!?!?!

That reminds me of the time outside Yates's on the front.
We were having some banter with a lone Blackpool fan..'tower up your a**e' and all that..then he responded with "rather have a tower than a mosque"

Vague memories of roaring with laughter when they nicked him. Can't remember what he was doing though? Was he trying to incite the Clarets fans?

Would have been around 1994 when David Eyres smacked one in with his right foot and ran over to the Blackpool fans by mistake. Mini Claret pitch invasion at the end and a few jumped into the home end for a dust up with locals. The police got a bit heavy handed after dragging fans across the pitch by handcuffs placed behind their backs.

good for them. I need them to be good enough that we play them regularly but not good enough that they actually win, it's much more amusing that way.

I thought it was Oysten who was the BenT oner.

They were trying to do the interview and film it but stupidly in front of us. Every time they started the obscene chants kicked in. They tried a few times to start again, but the banter flew..........Then he undid his coat and showed his Blackpool shirt and Clarets fans raised the volume. Then a copper came across to sort it out but the fan got stroppy......the pies flew.........he got stroppier, copper got hold, he kicked off, the chants got better, then he lashed out and copper and plods mates saw their chance.

Both arms up his back and off he went, to much celebration from the Clarets on their small equivalent of the long side....

REmember it very well, JImmy Maccer has it pretty well spot on. But almost certain it wad half time. God knows why they chose to to do the interview right in front of us. Very funny though!

I used to like the old spoon pop away end when it had a good could really generate some noise.
Oystans according to the judge have bled the poor sods dry.

According to everybody the Oystens have bled them dry. Christ alone knows why it took so long to get something done about it. Whenever this story rears it's ugly head I feel very thankful we have the board we have.

We should be encouraging northern town clubs (except barsturds) ipv horrific monsters such as Citeh and United.

So no sense of humour, and they change the ref presumably when it is pointed out.

The owner probably pointed it out and threatened to sue for libel. Paranoia about keeping his good reputation intact

Ref, Ben Toner, has been stood down for the Blackpool game. You couldn't make this up.

Been trying to suss out if this is meant to be a joke or what,can someone please explain the significance ....please.

Ben Toner

Bent Owner

It would be funny if they accepted and sold you the club for £1 or something like that which includes you buying all the debt.....

Property and debt have been bought many times before for around a quid!

Ameen Brother!

Spoke to a Blackpool friend last night-one of the "Banned By Oyston" crew- and there is talk that Fleetwood owner Andy Pilling may be interested.

It's Andy Pilley and I think he tried to buy them before he moved in at Fleetwood.

Similarly David Haythornthwaite was the one with big plans for Blackpool and a new stadium by the M55. He twice tried to buy the club but the Oystons kept him out. He now owns AFC Fylde and has been heavily linked in last few days with trying to buy Blackpool. He said yesterday that he had no intentions of making an offer.

Yes he tried 10 years ago I was told.
Pilley that is...

Dazzler wrote:Yes he tried 10 years ago I was told.

He did. Haythornthwaite was a lot earlier than that, maybe closer to 20 years, but he had a lot of problems with the Oystons and walked away. Both are Blackpool fans and both now running clubs with the intention of being the best club on the Fylde.

I even googled the feller to make sure I got the surname right

Well I'm only quoting what I've been told.

Text I received from a Blackpool fan the other day

Cheers ***** yes we have I am so happy can't wait for tomorrow after when we demonstrate outside the ground evil bastards they want 60 million its not worth 35 MILLION but we have driven them out and that's always been our intention fans united pool fans will not give in to scam bags and thieves Burnley are so lucky x

I remember the game with the Blackpool fan getting interviewed. I'm also sure it was half time. I remember a blow up doll getting chucked about the stand. Pretty sure we got beat 2 one as well.

You couldn't make this up... but today Blackpool have appointed a new CEO.

His name Sam Oyston.

Samantha

Sam Oyston the son of Karl who if rumours are true is not long for the earth (given 12 months about 6 months ago)

Yes indeed...on a serious note is he better ?

What was wrong with him?

Just logged in to post this but already on this thread - he's been working at the club but Sam Oyston has now been appointed chief exec.

He's as popular with Blackpool fans as his father and grandfather
