To suggest some of the more violent actions didn't work is absolute bolloxI never mentioned aggression. The TK’s were more into the organised large scale protests & actions to highlight our plight against the O’s, rather than random acts of aggression by individuals. And yes, they did have to be seen to be on the right side of the law for obvious reasons. (Publicly at least.) They absolutely nailed the media war. To cross the line into lawlessness would have been detrimental to the cause, losing wider public support. Some of those actions listed above really didn’t improve matters or move things forward.
Now arriving today.Had my card debited today at Amazon.
Estimated delivery Thursday.
Depends which protests you are talking about, the Knights and BST were the main drivers behind the Judgement days. The cover of the book gives you a clue.To suggest some of the more violent actions didn't work is absolute bollox
As i said earlier the book makes out that the protests were planned by BST and the Knights
That simply isn't the case
Its not the the authors fault he just wrote what he was told as i very much doubt he was there
My delivery has gone from 24th to today, I can’t wait to get startedThe way Amazon are going they'll give you an update in about an hour's time saying it's actually on your doorstep
The fat bucket thief instantly springs to mind.I would respectfully disagree, certainly about "thought a bit too much of themselves". Very disappointing from you to be honest.

Do we have to descend into quibbling over minor differences in recollections of who did what on which day. Many groups and individuals did their bit to bring the bring an end to the Oystons, and for once a just cause prevailed.
Havent read the book yet, mine arrives today. I may disagree with a few details , but I’m glad someone made the effort to record a unique fan led initiative that many groups and individuals played their part. Blackpool fans as whole should proud.

The amount of time and money spent legally by the scum either on suing fans or dealing with disorder through the courts certainly helped them to take their eye off Valeri and his assault……… oh and both Normunds and Kaspars told me thatI never mentioned aggression.

The Derby one at home for a startWhich protests didn’t one of them have a part in organising other than the more spontaneous acts of violence ?
I’m struggling to think of one other than the one Nathan specifically identifies - the targeting of the estate agency and for obvious reasons it’s best not to identify with that one
Who did what and in what guise is really irrelevant The same people were almost always involved in some way of another
It was a collective effort and something we can all be very proud of
Think you’ve mentioned that one and that comes under the heading of ‘ spontaneous’The Derby one at home for a start
Absolutely nothing to do with BST or the Knights and it was the first time fans actually mobilised in that way
I think you were in Rowleys having prawn sandwiches at the time Sir Tim
The book doesn't say the Knights organised the Derby protest. In fact I wrote "it felt spontaneous". I don't know who organised it or even if it was, but it did feel a bit more exciting and dangerous like you didn't know what could happen, whereas up until then the protests had been a bit tame (which they probably had to start out as).To suggest some of the more violent actions didn't work is absolute bollox

It was organised by a few of us in The Dog and Partridge before the game after Bowlhead and Brownpants had been photographed earlier posing by the van with the Cash cow poster on it…… you only had to ask FoggyThe book doesn't say the Knights organised the Derby protest.

I wrote that the Knights/BST organised the tennis ball and Hudds ones - which they did.
I did connect the two after the Cash Cow poster and how it spurred it on.It was organised by a few of us in The Dog and Partridge before the game after Bowlhead and Brownpants had been photographed earlier posing by the van with the Cash cow poster on it…… you only had to ask Foggy
Mosser gets enough mentions in the book, anymore and he'll want royalties.Don’t worry Mosser, I’m sure you can shoe horn your way into the movie adaptation when it’s made
Ralf Little has already been sounded out for the star roleDon’t worry Mosser, I’m sure you can shoe horn your way into the movie adaptation when it’s made

HmmmI was thinking George Formby.
You CAN play the ukulele, can't you?Hmmm
For me the spontaneity and real passionate but controlled anger of the Derby protest really gave me genuine belief we could actually get the twats out.... their shocked, frightened faces were a sight to savourIt was organised by a few of us in The Dog and Partridge before the game after Bowlhead and Brownpants had been photographed earlier posing by the van with the Cash cow poster on it…… you only had to ask Foggy

From further afield the Knights efforts were acknowledged and seen as an almost perfect way to deal with 'Grade A' rogue owners, where not least the social media stuff inc Twitter bombs was immense.Of course the main protests were organised by the Knights, with support from BST. That is the case, so stop trying to change history. The individual stuff had its own merits and mixed impacts.
The O’s biggest mistake after shafting Belokon was suing people.
Yeah we still have to endure himFrom further afield the Knights efforts were acknowledged and seen as an almost perfect way to deal with 'Grade A' rogue owners, where not least the social media stuff inc Twitter bombs was immense.
A great call too in bringing in that bloke from Albania too
My copy has just been delivered. 2 mins agoMines just been delivered. I'm determined not to rush it and plan to enjoy every page.
Well done on doing this foggy. I hope it is a bestseller.
Anyway I've read it one and a bit times and its all packed up ready to go back for a refund
Its decent enough but definitely some inaccuracies and all a bit of a BST love in imo
So thanks for the effort Foggy
Utp ...
Unfortunately there are strict rules on what photos can be in and what can't and they have to be 300dpi which most aren't. I had a few I liked but couldn't get in there.Got mine this afternoon but will wait until the ebook before I read it.
Bit disappointed my photos from inside and outside the Rolls building on the day the Stains were told they had lost and had to pay that huge sum to VB and sell the club weren't in the book, a very historic day that and in my mind well worth capturing for posterity.
