[Archived] News on other clubs in similar predicaments regarding owners

[Glenn]

Blackpool, Orient, Coventry, Charlton et al. Where will it end, what's working for the fans, will the FA ever step in?

A thread for news surrounding other clubs at war with their owners.

What prompted me to start this thread is this news below of Blackpool suspending ticket sales to Orient fans.

A disgrace. Banned from watching which could be their final game in the football league for having a peaceful protest.

Come out of Preston train station, up the hill to the main road, turn left and their HQ is a few hundred metres down Fishergate Hill.  I'm sure someone could come up with an ingenious publicity stunt!

I spoke to a few Blackpool fans who were happy enough with the decision, they are scared of a on the pitch protest that would lead to the game being abandoned and Blackpool need the points to ensure they get a playoff spot.

Great video explains the issues very well to the outside and shows their unity as a fan base all moving in the same direction.
