What a plonker. He's a mushroom who doesn't even support Blackpool!!!
Because we always knew Owen and his family were wrong 'uns. They always did the absolute minimum and treated fans like dirt. You'll find plenty of protest info from a tangerine graffiti'd Ford Sierra parked outside the old ground, to funeral marches down Bloomfield Road that go back to the early 90s. The success we achieved between 2007-2011 was largely due to other factors, mainly Belokon's money and 2 very good managers. The tipping point when protests became boycotts was the suing of fans. The NAPM stance was the only option we thought we had, you are entirely wrong saying we walked away from our club, we didn't, we fought like no other fans have for it. Whether that be outside the stadium or at the courts. That is why you now see and hear our fans singing louder than ever.
I think that’s probably stretching it a bit, even his own fans think Giro is a killjoy.
Considering I was still in school round that time I don’t think it was my top priority....
Also have you attempted to answer the question below based off you and your fans incorrect nonsense.
My understanding is that Owen Oyston was removed as chairman because of his conviction, his wife Vicki took over and then his son Karl after her. The bloke was removed as chairman, I don't get how Nobbers can label our fanbase as rapist sympathisers when he literally wasn't chairman anymore
I can but I dont need to explain to a numpty like you,I think you are being mischievious. If it helps look up Claughton Hall protests .Now do one please.
OO was still the owner though. I just don't remember it being as big of hot potato it probably would be in 2021.My understanding is that Owen Oyston was removed as chairman because of his conviction, his wife Vicki took over and then his son Karl after her.

There has always been an anti-Oyston sentiment in the fan base, my Dad never liked them so probably why I felt a bit more in tune to it as he'd always slag them off when I first stated going games with him in the 00s, I felt it was more just accepted that they were tight fisted bastards - it was only when it was revealed they'd been stealing from the club that the underlying dislike developed into full blown protest.
This image is from the 90s, I'd hardly say we've ever been a particularly "pro-Oyston" fan base - even when things were going well. I think it sums it up perfectly to say any achievements we had during their tenure fall more in the category of despite them, rather than because of them.
Unfortunately there is no rules against being a boring bellend. So just fuck off.
Why use foul langue, what is the point apart from showing yourself up. Just calm down and try being a decent person, it'll make you happier
Fuck off bellend.
Many thanks for your reasoned explanation. Given what you have stated I can understand the 'pool fans are right behind the club and sing lounder than ever
Can I just as, were the funeral marches carried out on the occasions following 'pool being relegated? As I don't see that as being a protest, we even do the same thing as do Rovers I thinkAh, so you cannot find anything to support your post which to me means that you are not only a porkie pie but also the numpty. Ha.
NO I will not given I am not breaking any MB rules
If you say so ,you must have a selective memory .
No, not as I recall, it wasn't a scarf burial like your lot do after every relegation.Many thanks for your reasoned explanation. Given what you have stated I can understand the 'pool fans are right behind the club and sing lounder than ever
As much as we can’t stand each other for supporting rival football teams I’m pretty sure you don’t believe that we ever chanted Owen oystons name pre promotion to the premiership, when we were in the premiership or after we got relegated from the premiership, we got lucky with Ollie and what happened after relegation was a massive downward spiral due to the 90 or so million that was pocketed by the family, this has probably been posted above or below my post but I really can’t be bothered checking, I know if you were in our situation you’d have done similar protests etc as would most fan bases who actually cared enough about the club they had supported all their lives, let’s face it to people who don’t get football it sounds stupid and irrational, but it’s not
I started a petition against the Owner 1994 in the aftermath of Billy Ayre leaving, we had a demonstration outside the ground with about 300 fans present and a signed petition ,
Evening Norfolk.
Now you're just being purposely obtuse.
Plus loads more posts including the picture of the car.9 January 1999. March and protest against the Oystons. Think that is more than 20 years ago. You can find details on the Internet

Who's the other? Cba going back through....
Just because one car was vandalised doesn't mean that there was a big protest does it, 2 or 3 youths could have done that.Now you're just being purposely obtuse.
You were literally provided with evidence earlier in the thread, or can you not click a link?
Plus loads more posts including the picture of the car.
Not that this has anything to do with the boycott, which again happened after it was found out what was happening with the prem money, lack of legacy and investment and also suing fans.
I notice you've not answered my point from earlier....
You lot like a bunch of idiots say stuff like....
"They only stopped going because they were relegated"
Why then did the crowds jump massively in league 1 once they had gone?
Seems strange doesn't it Sherlock, they stopped going because they were relegated but started going again in the same league they didn't want to go to before.....
You're making yourself look a fool.
As far as I am aware We8 isn't banned from our MB
Keep clutching those straws.
Many thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware of your 1994 protest but as you state it didn't last long enough to do anything and it would appear that the vast majority of 'pool fans weren't that bothered, but at least you tried
. However, I felt the crossroads was coming once we got relegated, because I knew then that some decent money had to be invested into the club, from the £90m we got from promotion...and parachute payments. That never happened though, leading me to believe I'd been right all along about them... 
That has been my thinking Sats, that whilst some were anti Oyston once word got round that he was being tried for rape, but not many. The vast majority supported the Oystons especially when promoted to the Prem and sang his praises at that time only to turn on the family when they realised what he was doing to the club and the parachute payments however, reading the posts on this thread nearly 100% state they never liked the Oystons from day one and were involved in protests from the start 20-30 years back. I think some would like to think they had done this and will not admit that they did suport the family until it was too late and the Oyston's .I remember being very anti Oyston around the turn of the millennium, but most(certainly on here) were still onboard with his 'plan' then and didn't rock the boat. Then when we got promoted to the Prem I must admit that I started to have doubts about my thoughts about them, thinking it might have been a touch of genius after all!
Fuck off bellend.
It’s all fairly straightforward really….
What about the protest you've been linked with twice now either the Facebook link....
You currently are and deserve to be
Many thanks for your explanation and it dies seem reasonable what the 'pool fans did regarding the boycott, etc given what you have all gone through. If others on here were as open to explaining the situation and the affects it had on both club and supporters I'm sure that you would get more support and praise you for your actions. However, as can be seen from other posts on this thread and the abuse I have received for daring to ask questions, if this has been the norm then I can also understand the remarks of other fans from elsewhere because all we have had to go with is what we saw on TV regarding the abandonment of games which affected the other teams fans who paid to watch a game, trying to vandalise the ground and threaten the owners of the time, etc and what we read in the media.
Many thanks for your explanation and I would refer you to me reply to another poster above in post #187

With having asked the questions and your reply along with We8's has helped me to understand things from your side a lot more and also have more sympathy. Many thanks
Bit harsh calling him a bellend FY8.
Foggys book 'How not to run a football club' (see related thread) will hopefully give you an insight into how bad things were under the Oystons.Many thanks for your explanation and it dies seem reasonable what the 'pool fans did regarding the boycott, etc given what you have all gone through.

If my post doesn't wash with you, so what that is OK with me, I will not be upset and I knew when I posted it that there would be some who have ingrained views and swear black is white just as some of our fans will never change their views regardin your boycott, etc.
If only, I'd like to know then what I know now yet I'd have my full life ahead of me
Norfolk, you're being rather disingenuous.
In 2007 we were singing Championship with Latvian cash. Everyone knew that Valeri was behind our improvement and it wasn't because of the Oystons who had spent 20 years doing just enough.
No, sorry I thought you was allowed back on. I'll try and find out for you
Ah fair enough. I was a young child at the time so I'm only going off things I've read/heard about that period, if a football club owner was found guilty of that today it would be a huge story!
I put your case forward and you are allowed back on tomorrpw morning (although it was suggested "Maybe we could impose strict conditions on him like he has to post a pic of himself wearing a PNE shirt on his return otherwise he's still exiled" but I thought that that was a step too far for you
so it's OK you don't have to do that).
