Hi Guys, hope this is allowed.
Many on here followed our plight with the Oystons and all that went with it. Well, one of our fans has written a book about it all and, though I may be biased, it's bloody good, Here's a link should anyone fancy a read.

I had a very good friend who was the Blackpool FC club chaplain before he passed away. I used to get regular updates on their ongoing struggle with the Oystens (who would have given RD a run for his money). A real community club with loyal fans who were sh*t on. Really pleased that they have got their club back.1

I’ll have to give that a read. The Blackpool fans were brilliant in their battle to get their club back2

Finished the book. A story very similar to ourselves except that the fans were able to establish that the Oystens actually took £50 MILLION out of the club for themselves. The total income from their brief encounter with the Premier League got the club £90 million.
Fan power ( as we know ) is immense when organised properly. Well done to all of them ( and us ) that never gave up the fight.1 -
