Although sadly Blackpool away is a horrible experience in their predicament. A couple of thousand fans - minus most of the vocal ones - in a stadium which holds 20,000 On a Saturday we'd outnumber them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be then most successful team in them.... Looked it up.... this will be their 7th play off final.... from which they've won 4 from the previous 6.... and are the only team to have won all 3 divisional finals... only Palace have won as many and haven't appeared in as many....

leeslover Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Exeter is like a small York, and the fan area beside the ground is about the best I've ever seen. Blackpool stinks of piss and has the only gay village that I've passed through and felt like I had good taste in clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, I was thinking JJ (was he even Jamaican?) for a minute and thought he wasn't the wrong side of 30...then I remembered we had Ricardo Fuller who you were eluding to...how dreadful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Maybe the lack of Blackpool fans at Wembley for the playoff final may actually make the FA look up Oysten and put more stringent owner checks in place. Or maybe following Forest being bought by a Greek guy known for corruption shows they really dont have a fucking clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The thing with Blackpool and this boycott that gets on my nerves now living in the area. The money is technically Oystons to do with as he wants and he doesn't have to buy millions pounds worth of talent that the lasher fans believe he should have done. They don't have to like it but thats the way is is, it's the same St every club. Having said that he is a cunt of the highest order for taking fans to court but that's another issue. Also their attendance is not to different to the last time the played football at league 2 level. Many use Oyston as an excuse not to go. Thousands more will certainly go to Wembley and that pisses me off. You don't have to like the owner to support your club. Hope they win at Wembley for my own selfish sake because I ain't going Exeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So may not be a true reflection of how many are actually at the games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So may not be a true reflection of how many are actually at the games ? They had a deal on the last time we played them where they sold 2 season tickets and get the 2nd for a smaller amount to which many paid for then everything went tits up. That deal hasn't run into this league 2 season. However their attendance this season is not massively smaller than the last time at this level. Lashers fans jumped on the bandwagon and now that have jumped off. Take the protests as example, the numbers seem to have dwindled massively unless sunny or last game of the season when cameras are about. 'Many 'can't be bothered' *Just what's been said to me by a few at work* For all those that love the club if Oyson left then the crowd would upturn for 1 maybe 2 games but how many would return for league 1 league 2 football. Imo not a big up increase... Ask yourself how many of those boycotting only starting going in the Championship or the Prem? Nearly 3/4 thousand stopped as soon as they went down from thd Prem.

They're a perfect fit for each other and the stability and progression they've had under him is something to be envied. It's the exception that a club has the same manager for more than 4 years these days, but Dale and Hill just work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for ignoring that. I guess we will find out which eventually. But don't be so naive. They aren't backing him. Paying him for a minimum of 5 years isn't backing him. Giving large funds for players is backing him. They are tying him to a deal because they are afraid he will leave and now if he does they get compensation. Problem is that it cuts both ways.
