    Looks like they got the wrong owners? Just makes us grateful for what we have, probably going to get worse for Blackpool before it gets better......... <ok>

    I think it's just a matter of time before they go under.

    Agree with that , that's two matches abandoned, I can see more of the same throughout the season as they, the fans, will now focus to try and hurt the Oystons where it hurts, in their pockets , imo .

    Thing is it could be cutting your nose off to spite your face, would the league allow a team that has matches abandoned because of the fans? If they want to cost these people money then don't turn up and pay to be there, would protests outside the ground without going in would be more the thing to do ?

    A once great club in the old days that had some great players. It is sad to see a club so badly run in recent years by its owners that its fortunes has dramatically changed in a short space of time. I can fully understand the fans plight but agree with most that they should never stop a game from completing. We never did that when petty was destroying our club. yes we shouted and had banners saying petty out but we never got the games abandoned. They should protest outside their own ground as that will give good positive views and not someone else's who has nothing to do with the situation and spoil the fans and players game that they have paid to see.....That is Bad protesting and bad publicity.....

    If a Club gets fined then that cost is directed at the Club, it's certainly keeping them in the media spotlight all the same .

    Yes but if it keeps happening they could be booted out of the league pyramid itself. If that happens then I can't see the conference being interested in them joining, so it could mean they will go right down to the bottom of the system. It could then take up to 10 years before we see them in league 2 .

    I know that is extreme, but it could happen, and they could liquidate as a club and we'll never see them as this club again, just look at what happened with Chester

    They may end that way anyway Jager , the team seem to be in freefall, their ground is a mess, there doesn't appear to be any visible investment, their , the fans , point of no return is rapidly approaching imo and desperate times etc.

    There are the right ways to protest and there are wrong ways to protest and Blackpool are choosing the latter that they wont get that much sympathy especially and from other clubs who will ban away supporters for fear of spoiling the game and from the football league who will fine the club and eventually throw them out. You can understand their anger but if they carry on protesting the way they are then any sympathy they have will soon diminish...

    Well I don't know the facts of this but the owners sound like first degree mupets!

    Shame there aren't any Blackpool fans on here to give some kind of balance on what we think.
