Now here's how a club should be run

Post by Old Master »

Fleetwood Town and Uzbekistan side Lokomotiv Tashkent in link-up

League One side Fleetwood Town have announced a partnership with Uzbekistan club Lokomotiv Tashkent.

The two clubs will develop commercial opportunities and the Cod Army are expected to go on a pre-season tour to Uzbekistan in 2016.

The deal also includes sharing of on and off-field knowledge.

"I see them as a role model in the UK football as they've developed from the very bottom up," said Lokomotiv's marketing manager Davron Azizov.

Tashkent fans to 'support' Fleetwood

He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "We started in the second league and we're succeeding in the Premier League of Uzbekistan and playing in the Champions League.

"In the future we want to put all efforts together to develop a good partnership base on youth development."

Fleetwood were playing in the ninth tier of English football as recently as 2005, but helped by the financial input of chairman Andy Pilley, they were promoted to League One last season.

The Lancashire side are planning to include an international academy in their new training facility, where young players from Uzbekistan and Central Asia can come and train.

The British Ambassador in Uzbekistan, George Edgar, will host Fleetwood representatives when they visit the country on their tour.

Who are Lokomotiv Tashkent?

Founded in 2002

Twice runner-up in the top flight Uzbek Premier League

Play at the 8,000 capacity Lokomotiv Stadium

Won the Uzbekistan Cup for the first time in 2014

The Oyston family should learn from this example on their own doorstep! OM :oops:

I wouldn't want my club looking to invest in the future of uzbekistanis. I would rather them go out into the community of South London and get some good local lads, which we will see a lot of in Millwall shirts next season like Sid Nelson.

The problem there is that most of the kids in the areas you speak of are probably zonked out on drugs.

Can't blame them living in those areas - it's bad enough to make a Saint take Ice! :lol:

They wouldn't even notice the difference in Blackpool but would think they'd gone to Pakistan if they ended up in Leeds.

Still that's better than landing in London, they'd think they'd been sent to Hell! :lol:

I just feel that if you"re comparing blackpool positively compared to London then you've not been to one of them. Seeing as blackpool is one of the biggest northern cabernet holes that I've been to, I assume it must be blackpool you've not been to. A town whose sole purpose is a place for northerners to got o for a weekend, get pissed and fight. The blokes are just as bad as well.

Maybe it's nicer in winter but I doubt it.

This thread is funny.

It's like 2 flies arguing over a piece of cabernet and which part is more cabernet.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That's why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

Taking an interest in flies flying around a peice of cabernet says more than enough about you.

I must admit Blackpool is a sh1thole these days given what I saw on the TV program 'What's your Emergency?' last year.

I didn't recognise any of the places they featured, apart from the Tower, and the place looked totally run down and full of drug addled morons.

When I left in 1974 it was starting to decline and my late parents kept me up to date, up until 10 years ago, with how it was getting to be a place no longer safe to live.

When my son went there for trials 20 years ago he said that there were druggies on almost every street corner and knife fights in the pubs nearly every night.

So in a way I'm defending the Blackpool I grew up in that was a great place to be kid and play Football.

I am also probably comparing that image to the London areas I saw when playing Football down there as a youngster and there were slums everywhere.
The older I get the better I was.

Slums everywhere? Of course London has some bad spots. Then again it also has Greenwich, Chelsea, Kensington, Islington, Millwall....

As I said, the areas I saw whilst playing football down there.

Later I also saw some other places that were much better but I only seemed to play against clubs in slum like places.

I also saw some slums in many other areas of the UK but that's a story for another day.

When I left Blackpool it was starting to decline, no jobs, no hope of getting one and the "Seven Miles of Golden Sands" that I grew up on were just starting to lose their pristine condition.

That was due to the pumping of untreated sewage into the Irish sea in the late 60's by places like Liverpool and others.

It was supposed to be taken away by by tidal forces but only managed to move the same turds up and down the sea until it landed on the beaches of Blackpool and Morecombe.

Those once beautiful beaches are now brown and stinking sh1t dumps.
