Hope they were joking about pitch invasion on this one

I can understand the strong antipathy felt be the Pool fans for their owner(s). Boycotting their home games in protest is one thing - their club suffers; but boycotting away games only hurts the innocent party, i.e..- Stanley!
Such a shame for Stanley to suffer the consequences, as the two clubs have a long and friendly association.
Don't they know there's a direct rail link from both Blackpool North & South stations on the hour (The express service from North takes only 50 minutes & costs £12.60 return)
Perhaps they're afraid their former golden boy 'GTF' will pop up to score our winner in the 91st minute!

Smudgie, I too hope you're right. However, judging by the almost 100% negativity on their forum, I think it may be wildly optimistic. Lets hope their forum does not reflect the intentions of the majority of genuine Blackpool fans. Fingers crossed.
I think that tomorrows match v Blackpool is quite important for Stanley. We slipped up last week at home against Cheltenham which makes it even more important tomorrow to pick up three points!
Blackpool have had a 'mixed' start to the season which is probably their best for a number of years! Of course one of our favourite former Stanley players is now at Blackpool at the heart of their defence and I am sure that Tom Aldred will want to perform well tomorrow.
Let's get behind the boys in Red and White again tomorrow and play our part!

No forum ever reflects the views of the majority of a club's fans, only the minority who don't have anything better to do than waste their time navel gazing. Those with a life rarely post.
Also thickos rarely post.
think you,re wrong about people who post on forums. although retired i do have a life away from stanley and i imagine a number of fans agree with some comments on here. no clubs fans agree on every issue but probebly at blackpool most agree on one thing. those who refuse to go to home games i can see them coming today as someone else posted its easy by train and a car journey will be under an hour. if they get hammered i imagine the atmosphere could be more than a little toxic but you can,t really blame em.
andy haines reffing todays game. should be a bit of controvacy sometime this afternoon.
The sad thing is that the well of bitterness at Blackpool is so deep that most of the threads on their forum advocate total boycott, including away games. How is this logical? They're only hurting their team, not the owners.
A simple fact that on "ANY" forum that if people did not post regular, that forum would not exist fact,also many posters are retired or disabled in some way so a forum can be a good passtime fer em, the fact this has to be explained to some demonstrates clearly to me, the density of people like that, simple as.

they,re hurting themselves as well. the problem may well be they haven,t a clue in how to get rid of the oystons and see this boycott as the only way forward. i seriously wish i could see a way forward for them but its a long dark tunnel of dispair for them, but they will be back i,m sure. they and their club were there before the present regime and will be there when they,ve gone but never forgotten.
To be honest i got nowt but sympathy fer Blackpool fans, can understand the depth of feeling and fer me they got to do what they feel is right.whatever that happens to be, i dont know if its correct, but if its what they think, good luck to em, except today that is.
Wonderful!!
Half time report anyone? I'm sitting this one out, exiled in Palma.... Twitter just says not much happening. Is that it?
I actually think I love Romy Boco. I am going to ask for his hand in marriage and make an honest Beninian of him.
