Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's a massive shame Blackpool won that today, especially for their fans who're guaranteed the Oyston's remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true at all - this is the last thing the Oyston's wanted - they had their 5 year plan to take the club out the league, this scuppers that. Blackpool fans wanted the team to win today, they just want the Oyston's out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oyston's are or were convinced that relegation to League Two was just a speed bump in the road back to the Premier League (no, seriously). The club's fans are conflicted from what I know. Obviously it's their club and they want it to be successful but they also want the Oyston's out and to do that, they were hoping the rising costs and lack of income through less fans would drive them out, some even want to see Blackpool lose every game until the Oyston's depart. I stand by what I said. It's a crying shame that Blackpool have won that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass 62 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 A very grudging congratulations to Blackpool. They are the experts of getting promoted via the play-offs, I think this is the 5th time that they have done so across the various leagues. There will be a Lancashire mini-league of Blackburn, Blackpool and Fleetwood in League One next season. Hopefully their off-field problems can be resolved soon and the poisonous Oystons will finally step aside, but that remains to be seen. I hate to see any club, regardless of how much I dislike them, being ruined by useless and despicable owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've pocketed the Premier League money and would happily see the club plummet and go out the league, promotion means having to spend more money. Conflicted maybe, but the majority still want success on the pitch. I'm in regular contact with the Supporters Trust and especially over the last week or so. Something needs to be done about the ownership situation - but promotion is not a bad thing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't think so tbh. If that were the case, they'd be like Orient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,824 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Nice derby for Blackburn next season. Got a few Lancashire derbies to interest them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass 62 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 When I was in the car not long ago, I heard Karl Oyston giving an interview on Talksport. Whatever you say about the guy, he is thick-skinned that's for sure. But unsurprisingly he came across as an arrogant, smarmy t*sser. I know a lot of lot of fellow Preston fans, who still remembering Blackpool fans flying planes above Deepdale to mock our relegation from the Championship in 2011, have gloated about Blackpool's problems both on the off the pitch. Gloating about them plummeting down the leagues fair enough, but I could never bring myself to gloat about any club regardless of whether they are our arch rivals having to suffer through owners like that.
