"GO YOU REDS"

With the Blackpool issue being sorted at last.
They can now progress.

Thanks for that, but there is still a long way to go yet, apparently if the Oystons pay the ordered amount they could just as well get the club back.

I hope that doesn't happen as the supporters have had more than enough pain to deal with since the EPL days.

The other point is whether the EFL decide to deduct the club 12 points, despite the supporter groups pleading with them to intervene for nearly seven years, to no avail - not even a response.

Small steps and I wish the club all the best, and hope the fans will start going to the games again.

The league doesn't need hooligans like them. Disgusting behaviour, matches abandoned, missiles thrown on the pitch etc...

We were talking about Blackpool, not Millwall, you southern socialist.

Are you saying these things didn't happen at Blackpool?

Not at all, but it wasn't done for the same reasons as Millwall supporters perform their antics.

The Blackpool supporters were simply demonstrating their disgust at the way the club was being deliberately run into the ground and stripped of its assets by the owners.

It has now been proven in court that they siphoned the 'parachute' money after being relegated from the EPL into their own pockets and cheated the minor partner whose investment had bankrolled the push to the EPL, out of his rightful funds.

The supporters threw tennis balls onto the pitch, not rocks or sharpened coins and staged one peaceful sit-in in protest at the EFL ignoring their appeals for assistance, which led to the match being abandoned - the resulting awarding of the 3 points to their opponents in no way affected the leagues end of season positions or points..

A very small number of fans (about four) also got a bit naughty but no one was injured in any way.

So that justifies a pitch invasion? Not a Millwall fan but besides an U23 match when was the last time one of their games was abandoned from a pitch invasion?

Oh and southern socialist?? Thats cutting him down a peg or two!! I could call you that being from further up north

No need for insults like that. I'd rather be australian than a socialist.

When was this Under 23's abandonment. I heard of 2 but they were nothing to do with a pitch invasion.

Apparently, it's OK to have a pitch invasion of there's a good reason. I can't think of Millwall having a a game abandoned for that reason since before I was born.

Meanwhile, Blackpool throwing things on the pitch, invading the pitch etc... Scum, ban them all.

Didn’t you guys have a match abandoned in the 90s against Chelsea?

There was a brawl after a penalty shoot out. I don't think it was abandoned.

4th round FA Cup Replay, won 5-4 on penalties. John Spencer missed the last penalty for Chelsea.

Chelsea fans on the pitch attacking Millwall players. I was too busy celebrating to even notice it.

Ah the good old days.

Btw everyone knows pitch invasions are only ok if Man City do it.

"The league doesn't need hooligans like them ", sounds a desciption of the Millwall Bushwackers .

Someone's living in the past.


BUSH BUSH BUSH BUSH

How did this happen?

I think it was a stabbing.

I was in shock when I heard about it, as I had never seen so much as a push and shove at Bloomfield Road before I came to Oz in '74.

There was always a really good atmosphere at matches as most away supporters used to make a night on the town, or riding a tram along the Promenade to see the Illuminations after the game.

From the local Blackpool newspaper, 'The Evening Gazette'


Why we will not print Owen Oyston's message to Blackpool FC fans

Bloomfield Road will be rocking once more at the weekend as Blackpool FC fans are set to return in their thousands.

Blackpool fans' return to Bloomfield Road is just days away.

The patience shown in the run-up to this long-awaited return, with more than 14,000 home fans expected at the stadium on Saturday, has been nothing short of remarkable.

The supporters have fought long and hard to get to this point. Saturday will be a day of celebration and nothing should be allowed to overshadow that.

Least of all the man who has caused so much upset and anger for loyal Pool followers, Owen Oyston.

Today, he contacted The Gazette with his message to fans and the team ahead of the big game.

We will not be printing a word of it.

The blame for so much of the mess that has blighted the club for too long rests with him.

He has repeatedly declined to answer legitimate questions about his ownership of the club. He has refused to be held accountable for his actions.

He dodged those same questions again today.

So no, Mr Oyston, we will not pass on your message.

Some supporters may want to know what he said. But coming now, two days before Bloomfield Road roars once more, it would only undermine what they have worked so hard to achieve.

Regardless of the result on Saturday, this weekend will be a victory for the fans.

They deserve this moment. Nobody else.

Bloody hooligans

Blackpool hooligans causing the game to stopped yesterday. Ban them all.

Flares being let off
Missiles thrown on the pitch


What a lovely set of fans.

for giae. they called him larry the dog. he ran the treatment mob at millwall. they wore the surgical masks. they invaded pitches. is he still alive.

Never heard of Larry the Dog

Harry the Dog?

Yes, I've heard of him. Does a few years ago.

so I got one letter of his name wrong. so sorry mr perfection but the rest of my post was right wasn't it. I forgot to post about the afters in coldblow lane as well. they were nasty buggers alright. blackpool fans were angels compared with them.

It may have only been one letter but a completely different name.

You're talking about 40 years ago. Blackpool have one of the worst records for pitch invasion in recent years.

blackpool had bad owners,millwall had bad fans. not all naturaly but the ones ive mentioned only went to make trouble and tarnished millwalls reputation for years.

How many games have been abandoned in the last 5 years because of Millwall fans? How many because of Blackpool fans?

They didn't go to only cause trouble, that was just an added bonus to them.
