Taken from the BBC news website:
Blackpool's pre-season friendly against Alfreton, which was scheduled for Saturday, has now been cancelled because of a lack of players for the Championship side.
This comes after their tour of Spain was cancelled and a recent friendly against Penrith saw the Tangerines field five trial players in the team. |  | | |  |

The manager (Riga) was supposed to be having his position 'reviewed' at a board meeting last Saturday. It was thought that he would be shipped out after clashing with the Oyston mob.
Meanwhile, the Oystons have called for 'calm' after a demonstration at Bloomfield Road last weekend.
Who the hell would want to sign for Blackpool anyway in their current state ?
They look doomed before a ball is kicked. |  |

The Oystons have run the club for many years - in the early 1990s I recall seeing Owen Oyston, wearing his trademark fedora, in the visiting directors' box when Dale very satisfyingly won 4-2 - and are reputedly worth over £100m (according to Wikipedia, though OO's entry there is mainly about his mid-90s trials and imprisonment).
Blackpool were lucky to keep their Championship position last season, but the directors seem not to have sorted out the problems, whatever those are. [Post edited 24 Jul 2014 16:38]
