REAL Football Fans - drewks - 07-03-2019
Fantastic outcome for the true fans of Blackpool.
Real people, real fans, real people power, real democracy.

Quote:Years of frustration reached breaking point in the Seasiders' final game of the 2014-15 Championship season; with the club rock-bottom, the protesting home support invaded the pitch and forced an abandonment of their fixture against Huddersfield.
I've forgeiven them for this now. At the time I wanted the FL to kick the bastards out. This was our chance to finish above Leeds Utd for the first time since 1961 and the game got called as a 0-0 draw, meaning we finished a point behind them.
We have of course, finished every season since above them, so the anger soon subsided.
Hopefully now all the other clubs with such knobs in control can get their problems sorted as well. Makes you wonder how the FA's "fit and proper" person to run a club actually works though, dunnit?

Here's hoping Blackpool fans lift the Club back up the League. The fans were as vociferous as any about 10 years ago when we played them in the Prem.
".......Germany's 50+1 rule offers one such solution, in which all Bundesliga clubs require a 51% fan-owned majority."
How could our Football Authorities argue against that ruling?
