It's a mess and its quite an achievement for the players and management to gain promotion amidst all that. Full credit to them.

As i have posted a few times before on here i have a soft spot for Blackpool as they were my dad's favourite team and i do go and watch them from time to time. Saw them win at Donny in April that really gave them belief they could sneak into the play offs.

I would have gone to Wembley ( i have been to 5 of Blackpool's previous 6 Wembley play of finals) but knew that a lot of fans wouldnt go as part of the protest. It was a difficult decision not to go but a family event almost made the decision for me in the end.

But that said i wanted them to win and whilst some fans cheered them on from home or the pub there were others that didnt want them to win as they believe this strengthens the owners position.

To actually want your team to fail ........i dont think i could do that despite my dislike of the owners. I would always want the team to succeed. But it shows the level of animosity from a sizeable part of the support.

Blackpool's last 2 Wembley visits in 2010 and 2012 saw 35K and 30K fans back them. I saw them play Yeovil in a League 1 play off in 2007 and there were 25K plus there. There were barely 5K there yesterday and their average home gate this season was 3,500.....for a promotion winning team quite shocking. It would have been double that in normal circumstances.

Hopefully the Oyston's will realise they will never make any more money from the club and sell.....(though dont hold your breath)

For all the Fenty haters out there be thankful for small mercies.

I don't think anyone does hate Fenty. People express a lack of confidence in him and critics his decisions, rightly or wrongly. But to characterise that as hate is way off beam.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Just think what Blackpool could achieve if they where all together on the same page.

I'm pleased Blackpool won.  This way I still have a close away game left for next season.  And Exeter are doing improvements to their ground.  Maybe they will spend some money on their away toilets.  Got to have the worst facilities for away fans in the league

Dont Blackpool fans think that like us they are at their level hovering between championship and League 2?
Surely the owners cant be that bad? The fans were spoilt with getting into the Premiership and probably expect far too much now as they had a taste of the high life.
