Monty burns 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Not sure who I feel sorry for most up at blackpool, the fans or David Perkins! The fans really deserve better, only 8 players on the books with 3 weeks until the season starts, although Karl Oyston (owner) has no worries as this will allow manager Jose Riga to build his own squad, that''s providing he is still manager after Saturday as his future will be decided by Oyston after the two are in dispute over transfers! Make you appreciate what we have here..Oh and just incase you wondered..David Perkins is the only midfielder at the club..he could be busy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrantsMoustache 0 Posted July 17, 2014 When they got relegated their majority shareholder transferred £11m from Blackpool''s account to his own account. Which he was entitled to do, his business and he can draw dividends from it or draw loans from it whenever he wants. But that should tell you what his motivation is.Then you have that awful temporary stand which loads of people have fallen through and hurt themselves in, usually away fans. It won''t be long until he is selling the land that the ground sits on to a property developer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrantsMoustache 0 Posted July 17, 2014 Blackpool have a shoddy temporary stand which houses away fans, and people keep falling through it and injuring themselves.Cardiff fan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-21166005Sheff Wed fan: http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/162779-sheffield-wednesday-fan-falls-through-blackpools-stand-photo-of-hole/It first happened in 2009 and has happened several times since. The fans stand on chipboard stuff and it is hollow underneath, people have literally fallen through the stand. Read this: http://www.ccmb.co.uk/fudforum/index.php?t=msg&th=347280&start=0&rid=0And this: http://www.backhenrystreet.co.uk/thread-8535.html#.U8hRArGTGHgIt is really dodgy and yet Blackpool still got a safety certificate, another really dodgy Oyston thing clearly, probably involving a bribe.

flecky76 0 Posted July 18, 2014 Ok thanks for the reply GM, I didn''t realise that.The only thing that I find semi amusing is the fact that blackpool demolished their previous open air temporary stand back in 2010, and quickly replaced with a more modern roofed temporary stand primarily for their PL season!So I was therefore assuming that the allegations referred to the previous temp stand rather than the current version, though obviously not!

morty 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Sounds like rather than it being a hard luck story after being relegated, the whole thing is down to gross mismanagement.Its a shame, because its always the fans that suffer, and it is all so avoidable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To many we were awful last season, inept in every way - and that is all they remember. In reality, with the change of manager we kept the team focused right to the end of the season. The positivity started before we were relegated and other clubs'' fans and media have missed this imo. We have regenerated a postive mindeset on a financially good set up - and that will surprise some when the season starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
