seasider Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 For those of you who may enjoy or support an English football team (of any level) Blackpool Supporters Trust have started a petition regarding governance of the game. 10,000 signatures will force a response and 100,000 will require parliament to discuss the matter. These are ambitious numbers which is why we are asking for your support. See you on the Prom. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/213108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've always thought that Blackpool was an utter toilet of a place. It lacks the glamour to be a setting for a Mark Caine novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Wouldn't that sort of government involvement in football get a serious response from FIFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I greatly sympathise with Blackpool's position but am totally against any government getting their poisonous, grubby, agenda driven, little fingers involved in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Hessian Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 interesting update in the guardian about the whole sorry affair today (27/02), though the most appalling aspect seems to be the fact that, in spite of everything, the Oystons would STILL pass the football league's own "fit and proper persons" test and are deemed entirely appropriate to be in charge of a FL club - absolutely beyond belief...
