    Great to see Blackpool on their way back again, both our clubs think we have big problems at times but these have been through really tough times.

    Thought I would share a message posted on our forum recently:

    Well chaps I'm emotional now as today is going to be my 1st Blackpool game in 5yrs... The whole town in buzzing. We've nearly sold 16k home tickets and today is looking like it will be our biggest home attendance for 40yrs..Amazing Emotional for lots of fans as going to have a minute silence for the fans that stayed away and never returned... 200+ in the programme today. RIP As for today, I'm off to my local ale House at 11.30 and at 2.15 they have organised a free open top bus to take us to ground, whilst there is a mass celebration march from town to ground where 40/50 X players are leading it. Now the apology: this week I and many others have been down to the ground cleaning it up after years of deglect. How you lot sat in them conditions was truly awful.. an utter disgrace and that will never happen again. I won't bore and post again as this is cats forum but I'm just buzzing.. I've had some great banter with you lot

    I'm well happy for them. They should be proud at how they kept the protest going all those years

    Brilliant response from the fans. For fear of litigation I won't post what I would like to but I don't think any clubs fans have faced down a situation like they have in my life time ( nearly 70 years ). Good luck lads and enjoy today.
