Blackpool game

I have also read blackpool forums n think it should be abandoned pdq. But the police and our people know best.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Blackpool playing Morecambe tomorrow and it is being played behind closed doors due to costs of the extra policing amid fears of trouble. I would expect this one more likely to attract trouble just for the fact on it being on a Friday night, sorry trouble is probably a bit unfair as all Blackpool protests have been peaceful up until now, disruptive would probably be fairer. Iam 100% behind what they are trying to achieve as people like the Oystons are damaging for football in general.
 
Why risk potential trouble alcohol and Friday night big worry and potential ground damage for a so called friendly hope this is,nt the case but is it worth the risk?
 
Well on the strength of reading the Blackpool forums i certainly aint risking wasting time n money.
 
And as we are having this discussion Blackpool police tweet this.

Enjoy the games safely and just a reminder that going onto the pitch is an offence - please don't end up getting arrested/banned (2/2)

Not long until the season starts! We'll be tweeting from here and we hope it's enjoyable and memorable for all the right reasons. (1/2)

While I have every sympathy with the Blackpool fans & hope they eventually manage to somehow get their club back from the Oystons, I don't concur with them bringing their troubles to other club's doorsteps - they will gather & keep more support for their cause from other fans if they don't cause abandonments at any if their opponents grounds

Agree, but reading there forums,certain knobheads dont agree.;)

Totally agree, they will lose the support of others.
 
I really do hope somebody from the club wakes up to this impending disaster. :(

Reading that forum, there's a snowball's chance in Hell that the Blackpool fans will behave. :mad:

I've seen what Blackpool's "fans" are capable of numerous times in the past and I can't understand for the life of me why this game is still going ahead.:confused:

Whilst I've got sympathy with their plight, A.S.F.C. should NOT even be allowing the Blackpool fans a platform on which to play up on. It will only bring more negative publicity upon our club, when the club has had more than it's fair share in recent years.:o

And as for the Blackpool fans.....if they carry on in this vein, then I think it wont be long before Blackpool will be playing home games behind closed doors in League One next season. Add to that potential points deductions for trouble and the folly of their "actions" may come back to bite them in the backside.
 
Morecambe to me,have had the good sense to play the game behind closed doors, pity good sense seems to constantly give us a miss.:rolleyes:
 
don't bother to go. save youre money and go to an extra away game. if there is trouble you could get mixed up with it and for what the game is a friendly. too much ale to be consumed by 7.45.
 
If there is still anyone at the club with a pair of balls, then this game needs pulling ASAP.

From Blackpool Forum....

"Back to the early eighties now we,ll smash your ****-hole of a town to pieces as well as causing disruption in the ground !!!!! "

Are we really going to put our stewards in the firing line with clowns like this around ? Every sympathy with the genuine fans and a genuine protest, but with every peaceful process there will be knobheads tagging along.

What if the game attracts some Rovers or Burnley fans who fancy getting involved ?

If we leave this game on, then we will get no sympathy from anyone - we'll just look like desperate mugs putting money before common sense. Probably further alienating the residents of Whalley Road, Livingstone Road etc along the way.

Come on Mr T - Strap a pair on!!!!!

Think Mr T is a few rungs down the ladder from making that decision, he has to follow directions from the police, safety officer and directors.
 
Directions from the police? thats a laugh, during the miners strike they were only interested in the overtime. The safety officer is n ex policeman also.:rolleyes:
