In agreement with MSG and our independent representative this is the highlights from tonight.
council are responsible for granting safety certificate so everything that is supposed to be in place needs to be. Remember the council can withdraw the safety certificate and close down the stadium. these inspections take place at all venues across the country they will make recommendations if they find anything wrong then return at a later date and if it has not improved then they will take actionJust get on with the compulsory purchases ffs, reducing the capacity of the stadium? For what? Only a 13k arena now guys...? Which wouldn't affect hardly anything.
But things happen at all football grounds and we don't tend to see interventions like this do we?
All seems a load of bollocks.
The behaviour this season has been absolutely fine. It's upto stewards to move people on but all fans can congregate at times.
Can't imagine the council shitting on their own doorstep.

totally agree but when they do that some on here start slagging them off for doing what they are told to do lolNeed the stewards to do the jobs they're paid to do too in moving people on.
Plenty of other seats to move people too, I'm in E, can't just stop people going who've done nowt wrong surely.So if the stand is closed or has a reduced capacity, will the club be giving out refunds for the games to season ticket holders. I'm in Block D and stay where my seat is so why should I be punished?
Edit, I'm not trying to be a dick with this, just wondering if anything was said about it at the meeting.
Hopefully that would be the case. It's not ideal and hopefully they stay off the aisles, but if not then I wouldn't mind moving for a game or so.Plenty of other seats to move people too, I'm in E, can't just stop people going who've done nowt wrong surely.
They are too reluctant to do that for some reason.Need the stewards to do the jobs they're paid to do too in moving people on.
ThisOf all the issues facing Blackpool, someone, somewhere, thinks this needs looking into?
Honestly, there are probably 1000 fans in the blocks concerned and they gather together because they are like-minded.
I bet they're hasn't been one complaint from someone in blocks ABCD about people standing in the aisles.
The biggest concern is IF there ever was an emergency, very few people would have a clue because the PA isn't fit for purpose.
It's somewhere between a parady and a tragedy.
Because they ain't proper security just a load of young/old just picking a few quid up.They are too reluctant to do that for some reason.
That was cleared up, nobody said stop singing it. The person who had to be spoken to was because he was filmed on several occasions and the complainant would take it further if he wasn't spoken to.Have I missed something?.......Does the club give a crap if there are chants about tits and fannies in Lancashire....?
OR...have all those comments about wokeness and the god given right to mention boobs been the usual AVFTT kick off for no reason...???
Anybody know?

The Muckers seem to be on board with this so maybe something will be done by not just the club, but the fans in that stand as well. They actually seem positive about the meeting which isn't something I thought would happen.
true they are not security they are stewardsBecause they ain't proper security just a load of young/old just picking a few quid up.
Had a couple of people I know do it for peanuts when you pay that you get..............
Agreed. The isles must be kept clear in case someone is seriously ill and needs urgent attention e.g. heart attackDoesn't say anything about fans standing just keep the aisles and exits clear,that surely isn't asking too much.
Stand up in front of your seat and not in the aisle it Can't be that hard.
just wondering what your comprehensive post has to do with standing in aisles, which others, including the MSG, have accepted needs sorting.The bureaucracy of the Blackpool Council is a joke
AKA Blackpool Clowncil.
Our council is one of the worst in the country.
The Clowncil for years has been out of touch with it's residents and football supporters.
They were soft on the Oystains and hardly got involved until we got in the premier league.
Just look at all the boarded up shops and cafes around Bond Street, the prom and town centre.
clubs and bars struggling like hell.
They have driven away the fun and party culture.
No breaks on business rates or council tax.
They have had their own agenda. A staged managed decline of the town for the last 20 years to get funding from Westminster.
At least they have done right the Tossers!
After yet another dire transfer window and a further ex-coach's mishired return in Critchley, anyone who mentions promotion will have fans rolling in the aisles.In agreement with MSG and our independent representative this is the highlights from tonight.
Please calm down Dale Winton.After yet another dire transfer window and a further ex-coach's mishired return in Critchley, anyone who mentions promotion will have fans rolling in the aisles.
It’s not after the transfer window. We’re still in the transfer window. Aren’t you a superstar journalist paulco ? Get the basics rightAfter yet another dire transfer window and a further ex-coach's mishired return in Critchley, anyone who mentions promotion will have fans rolling in the aisles.
To be honest TTP, what you say isn't that hard to believe at all!So did anybody actually ask why we have spent virtually nothing in the transfer window and what is the ambition within the club or are we too busy piss arsing about worrying about a lot of hot air. I know it will upset some on here but if you are going to get offended by some distasteful and politically incorrect language then football probably isn’t the ideal game for you to watch live. We have a family stand and a happy clappy nicey nicey west stand if you want to keep your distance and you can ignore what is going on in the naughty north stand. I can assure I have been called a fat bastard a bald bastard and an even an ugly bastard (hard to believe I know) and I am yet to be offended or burst into tears. I guess I’m just a dinosaur thick skinned or just thick but I’m there to watch football and take in the atmosphere. Let’s get 3 or 4 quality signings in either permanent or on loan and all try to play nicely.
The stewards do sweet fa in the away end to stop people standing in the aisles so why bother in the home end!totally agree but when they do that some on here start slagging them off for doing what they are told to do lol
You ‘hold dear’ behaving like a prick ?? How very sad and pathetic.To be honest TTP, what you say isn't that hard to believe at all!
This sanitisation of everything we oldies hold dear is a killer.
How come I can walk in the ground and stand up while I drink beer, I can then walk out and stand up at the front for half an hour while watching the teams warm up, I can walk down to the front at half time and stand in the gangway for 15 minutes, I can stand when we score, stand when we get a corner ? Someone needs to tell everyone the rules as to when standing up is allowed and it isn’t allowed and when stand at the front is allowed but isn’t allowed the whole thing when you think about it is an absolute joke.I’m sure the newly formed TAFFS (Tits And Fannies Fundamentalist Supporters) will have something to say about this!!!
Maybe they could organise an aisle blocking protest and get their moobs out for the gays?
Assuming there haven't been complaints, someone, somewhere, is worried about a hypothetical potential problem.Is it not more that a charge has been brought and someone somewhere has observed that there's standing in the aisles and at front when that charge has been explored?
I don't know, I'm just guessing but it's easy to see how when examining a complaint, whatever authority would note that other aspects of ground safety rules are being breached.
It's literally visible.
I don't think there has to have been 'a complaint from a Blackpool fan' to explain why this happens.
Whether it's proportional in comparison to other teams is moot. It IS happening and the relevant fans need to comply with a reasonable request from the club in the context of the current framework of ground regs and licencing. (Which the club doesn't control or influence)
I need that one explaining to me.How come I can walk in the ground and stand up while I drink beer, I can then walk out and stand up at the front for half an hour while watching the teams warm up, I can walk down to the front at half time and stand in the gangway for 15 minutes, I can stand when we score, stand when we get a corner ? Someone needs to tell everyone the rules as to when standing up is allowed and it isn’t allowed and when stand at the front is allowed but isn’t allowed the whole thing when you think about it is an absolute joke.
It’s only a joke though until some kind of disaster happens and people get unnecessarily killed as a result. It can happen and it has happened in the past, so it’s important and necessary to have some rules.How come I can walk in the ground and stand up while I drink beer, I can then walk out and stand up at the front for half an hour while watching the teams warm up, I can walk down to the front at half time and stand in the gangway for 15 minutes, I can stand when we score, stand when we get a corner ?

I hear there was a lengthy discussion about certain people crowding the windows in the MorettiI’m glad I didn’t waste any of my life reading that other 300+ thread then.
