Re: Friendlies
 

Have the club decided if they're going ahead with the Blackpool friendly?

Re: Friendlies
 

Still on

Re: Friendlies
 

I called at club today and was told that if Pool's game in Scotland tomorrow is not invaded, the game will be on. No tickets being issued ahead of game. Gates open 6.30pm If invaded, it'll be off

Re: Friendlies
 

There's a big difference between the number of fans who will travel to Perth and to Accy.

The games which were played were a Tuesday in Blyth and a closed doors game against Ross county so problems were unlikely but a short trip to Accy could end up like their game at Lancaster.

The fact it may get invaded may even put people off going anyway

Re: Friendlies
 

Technically I was right, still on at least until tomorrow.

Re: Friendlies
 

whilst I really feel for blackpool fans in their response to being run by the oyston,s is it really worth the club to continue with this game. I imagine there will be a large plod presence inside as well as outside the ground and who will foot the bill. I rarely go to friendly games myself but would like to see tom again but this could turn ugly. come on blackpool what you do in you,re own back yard is ok by me but please leave ours alone.

Re: Friendlies
 

At this time the game v Blackpool has been given the "green light" to go ahead by Lancashire Police as a CS ( club security) game. This is the same status as all games have been at the Storefirst Stadium for the last 3 seasons. Currently there are no plans for any fixtures to be policed in the 15/16 season.

Safety and policing at matches changes day by day as there are numerous factors to take into consideration.

The Morecambe v Blackpool game was cancelled by MFC as there were some additional intelligence which meant Lancashire police were insistant on there being a police presence. MFC decided it uneconomical to stage the fixture.

Reviews of the "situation" are being made by both Club's in conjunction with Lancashire police on a daily basis.

Re: Friendlies
 

Lets be positive about the Blackpool friendly!
The Oyston family considering a 23 million takeover by the BST
IF ALL PARTIES AGREE IT COULD BE A BIG CELABRATION PARTY NEXT FRIDAY
MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO GET MORE TABLES OF MERCH READY!

Re: Friendlies
 

Seems a shame to me,our club is unable to think n act for itself, n not just in this instance.:rolleyes:

Re: Friendlies
 

4-0 win at Marine...the winning run continues!

Re: Friendlies
 

Whilst the Oyston family may be considering the bid, I suspect nothing can or will happen for some time.

The BFC Chairman is currently under a suspension from ALL football activity. I suspect this will exclude him on making any decision on the future ownership of the club he is Chairman of??

When his suspension has finished (mid August) perhaps then there will be a reply to the propsoed takeover.

Re: Friendlies
 

Good solid performance yesterday on a decent surface.
Any game against a team managed by Sean Hessey was always going to be competitive and in the first half the youngsters more than held their own.
Indeed,young Hazeldine put himself about against two big centre backs and Carvers energy caught the eye.
Another plus,besides the youngsters performance,was that of Matty Pearson in centre mid,strong,composed and read the game well,besides helping the younger lads settle.
The second half team was more experienced,and told on a good surface.
Crookes was again different class,playing a little more advanced.

Re: Friendlies
 

I was watching the lads train on Friday morning and I think Coley,s unearthed a bit of a gem with Crookes his ball control distribution and pace was a joy to watch Friday let,s hope he carries it on into the season.
