http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-36248594 The overriding issue in the incident is that the Blackpool chairman wasn't happy with fans criticising him for the way the club has been run ( sounds familiar ? ). Personally I suspect that Blackpool fans have every right to be unhappy. Next year they'll be one bad season from going out of the Football League - yet only 5 years ago were in the Premier. I feel it's pathetic that you can't tell somebody that they've messed up -which includes where they failed to take action ( on or off the pitch ). I may not be able to 'afford' to say what I would like - but I thought that, in this country, speech was 'free' Just occasionally, 'shopkeepers' need to listen to their customers - because those customers will go to another 'shop' if the goods or shopping experience isn't to their liking. or worst still -they'll stay at home and get their 'groceries' delivered to them straight from the wholesaler.
Although I think there is a difference in having a opinion and telling outright lies that someone threatened you with a shot gun
