For anyone who didn't do - over 12,000 - best entertainment at Bloomfield Road since Ollie and the Riga Revolution looks like it's underway  | |

Yup - easily the best game at home for at least a season and a half. Went in with a sense of real foreboding - we then lost a local derby as I predicted we would - came out with renewed optimisim for the season ahead.

To be fair to the OP the only ones missing out are the fans who have elected not to go. We all know why, but the target doesn't care, yet they're missing out on the football, the only thing that should count. | | | |

Odinsraven - don't see anything spiteful about the o/p - I thought the motto of those opposed to the O's was Love Blackpool, Hate Oyston? Far as I can see the only way to love Blackpool is to go and see them play? I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon. I hate the Conservatives but still have to pay my tax! | |

Whilst I appreciate their stand, I have to say I don't really get all the 'stay at homes until Oyston's go' - if Blackpool FC is your passion and hobby then surely you'd still go and watch them? If the O's weren't in charge there'd be someone just as bad mark my words! | |

There aren't many clubs with owners who the fans like, the ones that are become quite well known - Middlesbrough, Everton, Rotherham, Fleetwood, etc. The majority are either obnoxious (e.g. the Glazers ownership has cost United £700m in debt repayments and they've also taken £200m in dividends, the less said about the various owners of Leeds, Bristol Rovers and many others the better) or faceless. Of course sometimes the owners who fans dislike achieve success, as with Hull and Cardiff for example. The dichotomy there is what would the fans prefer - to have ownership that is disliked but successful or have somebody you like but the playing side goes nowhere.
We of course have been in the boat of diminishing performances on the field and highly unpopular ownership, the worst of both worlds as many other clubs have found, so the issue hasn't applied to us. However if Riga does turn the playing side around over the coming months our fans will have that issue to face and the title of the thread will become ever more relevant. | | | |

One swallow doesn't make a spring, bit early to be having a pop at people who didn't go, everyone has their reasons and you know nothing of individual circumstances. | |

We know that Lytham. We do well people will come. It's a fact of life it happens at every football club across the country. | |

To be fair, plenty of people had a pop at those who renewed, with comments on the lines of they were complicit in the destruction of the club by supporting Oyston.
I can therefore understand some slight payback, however it is phrased. | | | |

payback? we do well they'll come, don't care how much they try to convince you otherwise. | |

Never had any doubt I'd renew. Watched Blackpool for 50 years+ and endured darker times than these.
Doesn't mean I'm happy. I'll sing my heart out for the players, criticise those who don't put in the effort, despair at poor control, passing, shooting, tackling, marking, a lack of interest after the ball has been lost, blaming others when a mistake has been made and an apathetic approach to wearing tangerine.
However, I turn up every game hoping, not expecting, that today's the day we'll turn it around.

Throughout the summer there has been supercilious vitriol, condescension and derision spouted from some directions at those who had the temerity to renew their season tickets, and anyone trying to defend their position on the grounds that they are supporters of BFC and not the owners has been classified as the equivalent of a collaborator in a heinous crime - as well as naive in the extreme.
Given that background it is more than reasonable that some criticism can be directed in the opposite direction, and what was posted is incredibly mild compared to the bile that preceded it.
As always at this time of year there are many on holiday and attendances are historically low in August compared to other months, but that is not the only reason for absences on Saturday and we all know it. | | | |

Problem with message boards is you can bump posts which make the o/p look a bit daft!!

That post was made after an excellent second half against Blackburn - had Riga looked at that side and continued to play Cykwa down the right and Fonz down the left then we may not have gone the season without any points! | |
