Points deduction 6 March- they might avoid it because the club is not bust...

Yet Bolton go from crisis to crisis and nothing happens. 

[arbitro]

One time (or even current) Rovers season ticket holder Ian Currie has been appointed as a non executive director at Blackpool. I'm pretty sure he was, with Ian Battersby involved in trying to by Rovers from the Indians a few years ago. And from memory he was involved in a senior capacity at Bolton.

According to the receiver - on the Blackpool Gazette site - Ian has had a long association with Blackpool and is a former season ticket holder there.  The article confirms that he acted as a non-executive director at Bolton.

Glad he's not involved in ownership of Rovers then. And to think that at one time I wished Battersby and Currie would become our owners. Best to stick with the "nice" family in Pune.

He is indeed a season ticket holder at Rovers in fact has a box and all his family come, and goes to a lot of away games, think his wife is a big Rovers fan, was a non exc director at Bolton and his father in law at Bpool( fell out with Oysten) a really nice guy, be interesting if he’s at the next Rovers home game now he’s involved with Bpool.

I cannot understand people who are involved with more than one club. That's all.

Where do their allegiances lie?

You can be involved on an emotional level with only one club---I agree with that. I'm assuming he is.

People should probably be more interested in how Ian B's legal issues have progressed (if at all) than Ian C's previous/present directorships. Thread from this past November detailing his situation.

As for Blackpool it's like I've said before. Belokon was the major catalyst for this change as much as some of their fans might claim credit. Of course this situation couldn't have happened at Ewood because Venkys own virtually 100%. If the club returns to the Premier League (under their ownership) and Venkys did what the Oystons have what's there to stop them? Another useless committee? ?. I'm not saying Venkys will definitely do that in such a scenario but who knows? Attempts to predict their thinking is difficult whether you have let your guard down based on recent activities or not.

Over 15,000 tickets sold for the Blackpool game on Saturday, Supporters been in the Stadium cleaning up ready for it.

 

If they could get around that number to every home game till the end of the season, might peak the interest of one or two investors

[Mattyblue]

I doubt they will, especially for midweek games. With a minuscule season ticket holder base, you just aren’t going to get 14,000 folk buying match day tickets week in week out.

Unless they are flogging mini season tickets?

Looks like they are, 71 quid for six games , they put them on sale the same day the new board was announced and confirmation that Oysten could not access any cash (https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2019/march/club-confirms-change-of-mandate-on-bank-account/) , clever move

That first link is a brilliant bit of bridge-building PR.

Felt like Blackpool fans had taken control of the media department.

[Mattyblue]

£71 for 6 games anywhere in the ground? For a club just outside the play offs too.

How about paying double that in the Jack Walker for our Super 6 dead rubbers?

[old darwen blue]

I see the Blackpool supporters are arranging a singing section next to the away fans for Saturday. I think that we should try that.

Jim White via Twitter has allegedly published the I have been stopped from posting this by moderators. Oyston letter to the fans that the Blackpool Gazatte refused.

Edit: For goodness sake banning a "given name", frankly stunned by that. And yet you allow a derivative as in OWENS.

Is that the Jim White of 'Venkys we are coming for you' fame? The same bloke who allowed Andersons crocodile tears live on his show?

It looks like he is now on a crusade against bad owners.

[old darwen blue]

Bit late this crusade though. 

[Oldgregg86]

I will never forget or forgive Jim white for the shite he spouted before the fa cup game against united 

I met him when Wigan played united in the Carling cup final and he seemed like a nice guy, probably is, but the venkys where coming for you claptrap really stuck in my throat
