Blackpools training ground

[Seagull on the wing]

Oyston out!

 

[Driver8]

I think that's the question being raised by their supporters, as to exactly where the Oyston family have placed that cash.

I could hazard a guess.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Felt sorry for Chopra. Poor thing had to wash his own kit and carry his own boots too. Ah, bless.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

If it's that windy they should stick a wind turbine on each of the floodlights, that'll save a few quid?

 

[Return of the Rev]

under mullery we mostly trained on hove rec and it didn't seem to do much harm.

great times taking the dogs up to hove rec to watch the boys

 

[Rogero]

We were very tinpot until a few years ago.

 

[ali jenkins]

Blackpool built a new stand when they got to the Prem... didn't they? That would explain some of the cash.

Not to mention the hotel joined on to it

 

[ditchy]

It's also massively exposed. I've seen it a few times on SSN or Soccer am, and things, and it is ALWAYS blowing a gale!

Its at the end of Blackpool Airport and is very exposed. .

 

[Ernest]

Makes me LAUGH everyone saying we NEEDED a PLAICE to TRAIN in and PAID £150million for it when Blackpool PROVE you can go up in a TIN HUT and we could have BOUGHT Di MARIA and FALCAO instead. JUST proves that BERK is a BURKE

 

[Munchkin]

People also need to remember how 'tinpot' our training facilities were prior to moving to Lancing this season.

The university pitches were terrible, the changing facilities were 'old school' and we had to share a canteen.

Don't think we should be giving it the 'Billy Big Bollocks' bearing in mind what we've been through.

I didn't think there was any question. They have diverted it, quite legally (although shamefully) into some of the other companies they own.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Shouldn't we actually be working with Blackpool fans on this one and not laughing (well, at least not openly laughing)? Oyston, Archer............

This - and paid some family members some pretty tidy salaries, I think.

Indeed

We could offer them a [training] ground share. We could also advise on the best price for long distance coach hire too!

Seriously though... we should be 100% behind their fans over this. FFP should have as many clauses about owners taking money OUT of a club as pumping it in!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Some of the suggestions for showing support to the opposition fans at games, have been a bit lame, in the past. Would happily join in with any Blackpool fans' chants against the Oystons though. Odious cancer on their club. Nasty.

Who's laughing ?

Just pointing out that for a club recently in the Premier League, the lack of investment in an even half presentable training ground by their millionaire owner is pretty shoddy, which was the gist of the report on SSN. Oyston has reaped the rewards of a season in the PL, and is now bleeding the club dry.
