3 October ~ The Blackpool Supporters' Trust have organised a protest against their club's onwers during the televised match against Cardiff City tonight. Blackpool are bottom of the Championship and their fans feel the money from their Premier League season has not been properly invested back into the club. The Trust are asking stay-away fans to turn up and the protest will involve releasing thousands of black balloons, as well as holding up banners and staging a walk-out in the 53rd minute of the match, representing the year they won the FA Cup. There is more information on the Football Supporters' Federation website.
Seen there are a number of people on their forum talking about a mass invade of the pitch as the players come out for the 2nd half as well

Apparently their drummer was not allowed his drum to start with tonight. Presumably because he was mentioned as being involved in leading the walk out. Great way to deal with the situation, that'll placate the fans!
How Jose Riga has managed to win a game there is a miracle. Props to the guy, seems like a proper gent and a very good manager too. Far too good for an owner like Oyston.
That game summed up The Championship for me. A very equal division and it can often come down to 2 things :-
1 Who wants it most.
2 Who is better set up/ has the best tactics.
Blackpool wanted it more than Cardiff & their set up was better. This was enough to win, despite Cardiff having a set of players, that should be in the top 6 and possibly even top 2.

Jose Riga has his hands full.
Doesn't look all that organised so doubt anything will happen.
now lets see if they walk out at 53
The owner is so thick he probably thought nothing of it.

Jose is doing an excellent job keeping them in touch in adverse circumstances.
Call him Red Adair, the man for a crisis.
