So up until a couple of years ago a Premiership club and now going down to League 1. Is this all because of dodgy owners, seems looking at them from the outside that is the main reason for their demise. |

Not sure about the owners but Wigan appear to be in the same boat |

Yes, I have made a few references throughout the season about our inevitable demise and this is entirely down to the owners and a complete lack of investment.
I can't say 'dodgy' as this may lead me to join the many others being prosecuted for comments made on public forums.
This is one of the latest articles in the press.

It's also interesting to see AFC Blackpool in the North West Countues League with another big attendance. 20 short of 400. They're used to getting crowds of 40 or 50. I don't like to see club's in a downward spiral (unless it was Liverpool), but at least a smaller club are benefitting from Blackpool FC being poorly run. |

As a Pompey fan I have every sympathy for you bisphamseasider and your fellow supporters........it' always the supporters who suffer as owners come and go.
I hope your club "gets better soon" and that your problem disappears soon! |

Merthyr Town won 9-0 today to clinch the Southern League South and South West Division in front of a crowd of over a 1000 not bad for 8th tier football |

Cheers Phil.
We will probably plummet further than league 1 whilst the current owners are in charge but as soon as they are gone we can look forward to a brighter future. |

Sad to see a club like Blackpool suffering because of the family who own the club.
A nice club, good supporters and a good place to watch a game. Loved visiting over the years.
Get rid of the idiots involved - I'll probably get a summons now!? - and pick your club back up and enjoy the game again.
We at Brentford are lucky, thanks to Matthew Benham, without his funding, we'd be back in league 2.
Best of luck next year. It'll be tough if they same people are still involved. _________________ Not Forgotten; Allwright, Greechan, Hagan, Kennedy, Littler, Purver, Robotham, Saunders, Shields |

Another club that are likely to benefit are AFC Fylde.
They are currently battling for a place in the Conference and work has just started on a brand new 6000 capacity stadium.
It's hard to think that Blackpool could be playing them in a league match in 2016/7. |

incredibly depressing reading and I am not a supporter but as a football fan-WOW I do not know what I would be doing-well no longer going would be an option giving them money.
I guess they are like the Glazers on a lower scale-waiting for someone to come along and give them big money to go-has to happen soon or they will be left with dust and if no investment they are going continue to slide-such a sorry state for a once proud club-it is like someone who is ill, all you can do is wish them well and hope they get better soon.
This may make you feel better in as much as it was such an achievement to get there even if the result was not what u wanted, nevertheless a great game by all accounts-Stan would be turning in his grave.

Well done, mate
I'm sure the proud club will rise again once these guys are through with it. Good luck, Bispham. Crossy and all. |

Cheers for your comments Paul.
I hope it's not too long before we play your lads again and hopefully in your nice new stadium. |

Five years ago Blackpool and Fleetwood were both winning
play-offs to their respective top tables.
One wonders what the odds were on them meeting on a level
playing field so soon after? |

All Clubs need stability.
It is a pity that owners cannot see that instability off the pitch invariably leads to a team on the slide on the pitch. |

I knew it was bad when you decided to get Joe Lewis in goal!
never thought you'd end up playing Fleetwood in a league match. If I'm well enough I'll be at Blackpool away next year. Had a good drink with a few of your fans when you snatched the last play off place in the championship at our place the second from last game of the season and then went on to win at Wembley
Always the fans that suffer |

What happened to the parachute payment made to clubs who loss their Premiership membership ? It's really odd. Many teams who had hit the big time can quickly disappear down the leagues fast . |

In the past some clubs, Bradford City springs to mind, get carried away with their fleeting visit to the top flight and end up bringing in
a bunch of near washed-up has beens and they still demand top dollar and a three-year contract.
Ergo, financial instability for the next decade, regardless of parachute payments, plus us fans tend to be masochists at heart - filling out the ground for an almost inevitable defeat to one of
the big guns but these all go missing when the like of Reading and Charlton come to town.
The last two clubs were plucked off the top of my head - I have no feelings toward either... |
