It's now official:

However, the Seasiders will not have to compensate Huddersfield supporters.
The Football League wanted Blackpool to compensate Terriers fans the equivalent value to the club's gate receipts from away ticket sales but that was rejected by the three-man commission.
The FDC ruled that the game's abandonment affected supporters of both clubs equally and it would therefore be unfair to favour the interests of one group of supporters over the other.


Oyston's chummy with the board and gets to keep his money once again. Probably begged for the points deduction over it! Sooner this scum are out, the better.

Yup, if you were in the league last season then when you resign up on the site it'll automatically re-add you.

Looks like a Daz advert, removing stains from clothes. Unfortunately, the Leeds badge is still on it

I know, and it looks nothing like their actual company logo either! Another cheap hodge-podge by Oystons!

Oh dear West Ham, 2-0 up at home to then throw it away to draw 2-2 after another red card! This time Collins being sent off to make it 3 reds in 5 games I think I read. So much for Fair Play!

Considering what some teams are wearing this season, I don't think that's too bad at all!

You're never going to see any money. "The Board" have made it clear when discussing potential future abandonments with other clubs' supporters' groups that there will be no refunds, just the offer of a half price ticket for the replay! Think that was the jist of their response to Rochdale fans who were concerned our match with them at Bloomfield will be abandoned. They tried the Football League too, who pretty much said it's not their policy to interfere in club ticketing policies!

Just another reason for the Oyscum to sell up and bugger off.

The "plus one point" is irrelevant, we were relegated either way and the dog-botherers remained in the Championship. Plus they got to visit lovely Lancashire.

Good signing for Villa?


Yeah for next season, when they are in the Championship.

I dunno, I think he has mellowed a bit since coming back to the Premier League. Maybe this season there will be more of a challenge and get him going again!

Romero is probably the worst first choice national team keeper I've ever seen. He is absolutely abysmal.


It's not like he'll play except in the odd League Cup game!

Will Walcott start upfront this season or Giroud?

Final piece of my Fantasy Football puzzle.


Same here, keep wanting to put Walcott in my team but unsure if he will get the minutes?!

Inverness are out after losing 1-0 on aggregate. Aberdeen flying the flag for Scotland in the Europa league now, but have conceded on the night. Surely a 3-1 away goals aggregate will see them through?

Couldn't see a thread for this yet, so thought I'd start one. Apologies if I've just been a bit forum blind.

Celtic look to be through to the next qualifying round after an early scare. Their next round opponents are the wonderfully named Azerbaijan side, Qarabag.

And wouldn't you know it, the Oyscum didn't even dignify our Supporter's Trust's bid for the club with a response.

Now that is pathetic.

How many players are Blackpool currently on?


14 I think. That's including Lloyd Jones on loan from Liverpool. 2 Goalkeepers at least! A few average youngsters who were chucked into the first team towards the end of last season make up that number too. The good youngsters left for pastures new, which is another ire to us Blackpool fans against the owners. Mark Waddington and Dom Telford look to have gone to Stoke and Myles Bony to Man City. Can't blame them tbh, they won't have been treated with any respect by our club.

Not including Nile Ranger in that number. According to the club and "manager" he was going to return to training last week beyond doubt. Still no sign of him and all is quiet on that front. Cubero has just finished in the Gold Cup and is meant to return next week... we shall see! Not sure what the deal is with Orlandi, think he is technically under contract but again hasn't actually returned. Would love him back at least!

Our Chairman is currently serving a 6 week ban from footballing activity such is the classness of his act. No doubt it will be used as an excuse for the club not bringing anyone in and not spending any money. We do have a stand in/vice-chairwoman, but it is his wife/mother (they have the same name, I get them confused - a bit Oedipus of him really) who I imagine has no authority or desire to spend money on the football club either.

Will be interesting to see if us fans can recognise any of the players come our first competitive game! Think the average was about 2 players away at Lancaster!

I think the main hope is that Valery's solicitors get their act together over bringing his claim forward and that will hit them where it hurts most, i.e. in potential money lost. We can help by doing our bit to lose them money too. The Oystons have never had any love for the club, its run almost on spite for the fans alone. What other chairman sues their own clubs fans and their forums?! Realistic expectations seem to be summer 2016 we may finally remove these parasites from our club. All I can urge is that away fans don't travel to Bloomfield this season, or until the Oystons are gone. Even if you have no interest in the running of our club and "just want to watch football" I wouldn't suggest it, the atmosphere and quality on show is not going to be worth it anyway! Though I am sure that some would argue that anyway

Well that's why the Morecambe friendly got called off. I've heard the same might happen at Accrington too. Think the St Johnstone game is safe as it's a fair distance!
