Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well what a story and what must it be like to be a Blackpool fan? I will reserve feeling very sorry for them until after tomorrow night, should we get the win! Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 987 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I can imagine terrible seeing as the Oystons' have taken £23 million from the club in the past few years (with a news article link on that timeline of shame) but won't pay for players' FA registration, won't pay for post match meals at other clubs and won't even pay for enough staff to keep the club running. They're down and out and have my commiserations win, loss or draw. Never been a club I've been particularly fond of (my ex's club and also we seem to do badly against them, no other reason :p ) but you really do have to feel for their fans. Makes me even more grateful for being fortunate enough that our club is run by a bloke as good as Gibbo. Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Only 1200 sold for this, very surprised, thought we would have sold out ages ago Reading the Blackpool forum it sounds like most of them are refusing to go to anymore games with there situation.. Its probably going to sound like an home game for us. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I can imagine terrible seeing as the Oystons' have taken £23 million from the club in the past few years (with a news article link on that timeline of shame) but won't pay for players' FA registration, won't pay for post match meals at other clubs and won't even pay for enough staff to keep the club running.

Makes me even more grateful for being fortunate enough that our club is run by a bloke as good as Gibbo. They stopped playing possibly their best player (Joe Lewis) because if he played again they'd have to pay Cardif £40k. Seriously. That's just unbelievable. Lewis must be ***ed, he's far far to good for the level Blackpool are playing at and to be stuck not playing at all must royally suck. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Also, Lee Clark lied to fans and media for weeks and said Lewis was injured, without consulting the player that he was going to go with this line. Oyston's son put a picture of his dad by Bloomfield Rd on twitter with the caption 'my dad and his cash cow'. Odious. Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 987 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Offering Robbie Fowler £100 a week after he returned from Oz to play. Offering players out of contract 40%, 50% or 60% wage reductions. Best example being Gary Taylor offered a 50% wage cut, when he refused it, Oyston got back to him 2 weeks later with a 70% wage cut offer. Not going to say too much about the owners for fear of Oneboro getting taken to court :D I don't think much needs to be said to be honest, everything they've done speaks for itself.

Naughty Boy 18 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Just reading the Gazette and forgot Forshaw was cup tied, He will probably start tomorrows game then.. Makes sense. If he does start who gets a rest?. Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 987 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Clayton for me NB, looked a little off the pace and absolutely knackered against Charlton. Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Clayton for me NB, looked a little off the pace and absolutely knackered against Charlton. I'm thinking Clayton too :) Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I would like us to start with this line up tomorrow........ ------------------Dimi-------------------------- --Kalas---Ayala------Gibson---Friend----- -----Whitehead-------Leadbitter------------ -Wildschut-----Forshaw-------Reach------ -------------------Kike-------------------------- I picked that line up with the pitch, Team we are playing and the fixture Bomb in mind :D Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think, looking at it, Naughty Boy is the closest to the money regarding the team. Not sure about Wildschut, just because he's been right out in the cold, and would be shocked to see him in the XI. I think if Husband doesn't start, he will certainly replace Friend as soon as (if) we have a 2 goal cushion. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I definitely think that Clayton will be the one to be rested. He gave it a 100% against Charlton but wasn't his usual self, looked a bit run down imo. It's the perfect chance to start Forshaw, he's looked decent when being used as a sub and he's also cup tied so can't play on Sat. We'll need Fredericks to be at his best against ***nal, he's the paciest RB we have so I'd rest him and bring in Kalas. I'd also like to see Reach start, think he looked a little despondent against Charlton as a sub so hopefully starting will motivate him to fight a bit more for his place. No point putting my team up as it's pretty much the same as NB's lol. Really hope we get a win, it would just cement what a fantastic run we're having at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
