I have been sent an Oyston Out scarf from the Tangerine Knights, who want one at every home match on Saturday. If anyone wants to have their photo with it, to be posted to social media, I'll be around outside and in the West stand family area

[Westbars Spireite]

I will if they wear a Turner out one for me.

Hmmmm....This would be an ask from supporters of the club that have regularly directed 'cheat' chants at us during matches and referred to us as 'Cheaterfield' in social media 'cos of the D Brown business?

[CFC91]

Yeah they can get to **** - horrible club, massive ****hole, inbred fans and a scarily good night out

The only thing I'd do with that scarf is curl a turd on it outside the club shop! Get that videod and sent back!

So, on the day we have our biggest game of the season you want us to have a photo with a Blackpool scarf??
Blackpool who offered us no sympathy whatsoever (and that's being kind) during the DB situation,
and,
Blackpool who are presently our direct competitors for a place in the basement?

Incredible really. To say you've misjudged the mood is an understatement.

Is that a 'no' then?

That's subtle to what I actually thought!

I like your sentiments but just remember it is not Marcia who is requesting this it is Tangerine Knights. She is just the bearer of the message.

i'm quite aware of that, but as their nominated mouthpiece she perhaps should have taken a little history lesson first.........

To be fair to Marcia, and the the main reason I never replied in a similar vein, is that she wasn't a Town fan back then and probably lived where she comes from originally.

Blackpool fans will get exactly the same amount of sympathy from me as they offered us post Brown.

Can anyone actually remember the clubs that were the prime movers in trying to get us expelled from the league at the FL AGM

Seem to remember Hartlepool, Torquay and York for starters although I'm to sure all their fans were in agreement

I remember going to Orient when this was all kicking off. They had some saddos sitting in the stand with hand mate CHEAT signs. Nice

[JonB]

Pretty much any side we played from the moment it all came out had a pop with the same sort of things going off but seem to remember the York and Torquay chairmen along with journalist Harry Harris pushing things particularly hard to get us chucked out of the league. Seem to remember that Torquay were battling relegation or got relegated so saw it as a chance to save themselves. Even though it was Hartlepool that missed out promotion wise they didnt kick up as much of a fuss...at least not in public.

York were a major ringleader as their Chairman, Douglas Craig, was a friend of Norton Lea who realised we'd be fu**ed if relegated and could regain control unopposed. The same Douglas Craig, by the way, who placed his club up for sale shortly afterwards demanding an unrealistic price and insisting he'd resign from the FL if no one met it. Birds of a feather?

Then Orient supremo Barry Hearn was his usual understated self, as was fat boy Fry, but ended up backing the fledgling CFSS.

Of course our little neighbours did their best to drag us down to their lowly levels, too.

Top of the tw*ts, however, were Brighton. Their fans plumbed new depths of arrogance and hypocrisy mounting a media crusade to have the book thrown at us - the same Brighton fans who'd repeatedly blubbed and begged for help when faced with Brown-esque owners themselves. Meanwhile our fans, players and even Board were subject to a torrent of abuse and intimidation when visiting their's, to the point where one CFC suit was threatened by one of his Brighton counterparts. Something similar happened to manager Nicky Law...but let's just say the perpetrator was met with a far less civilised response.

Never forget, never forgive.

For me York but worse Brighton, Orient and Hull.

Whilst I have empathy with Blackpool I won't be being photographed or donating.

Bet Fleetwood don't go for it either 😀
