Depends on what you mean by believe I guess. I'm pretty sure everyone has sussed them out but there are still 1,000 or so that attend games at home. Through habit and wanting to support the Lads is the usual reason given though this is wearing very thin as you will see for yourselves on the 27th.
Good to see the EFL taking a strong stance on the chairman's son being appointed as CEO................oh no that's right, they couldn't give a fuck.
In response, an EFL spokesman said: “We are aware of the comments from Blackpool Supporters’ Trust in relation to the recent appointment of a new chief executive. “The appointment is a matter for the club and not the EFL. “We will offer Sam all the support that he requires, as we do with all new employees at our clubs. “The club continue to keep the EFL appraised of all the matters that are relevant to our regulations.”
@Hertsseasider I don't know in any great detail about the Oystons but hav been reading about Owen Oyston and his rape trials. What do your supporters think about this - females in particular?
They really do think you're all fucking stupid, don't they? Was hoping that the result of the court case meant you were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but looks like it's going to drag on for a while yet.
Just listening to sounds of the 60s and literally clicked on this link as Tony Blackburn was talking about a group called the Nutters - just thought it was very apt.

A Latvian businessman says he does not aim to threaten Blackpool Football Club as he tries to force director Owen Oyston and son Karl to pay a debt of more than £20m.
Lawyers representing Valeri Belokon have told a judge that the "course of action" planned would not involve "any threat" to the Sky Bet League One club.
The Oystons were told to pay more than £30m in November after losing a High Court fight with Mr Belokon.
Mr Justice Marcus Smith ordered the pay out after Mr Belokon, who bought a 20 per cent stake in Blackpool 12 years ago, complained of being excluded from key decisions and shares of profits.
The judge had said the Oystons could pay the money in stages.
But, at a follow-up hearing on Monday, lawyers told him that the latest deadline had been missed and more than £20m was still owed.
Mr Justice Smith concluded that his attempt to "control the enforcement process" had failed.
The judge, who heard that the Oyston family owned assets including property and luxury cars, said Mr Belokon could now pursue whatever legal means he thought fit to force payment.
Andrew Green QC, who led Mr Belokon's legal team, told the judge: "The course of action we propose does not involve any threat to the club."
Lawyers representing the Oystons failed to persuade the judge to extend a deadline for the latest payment.
They said the Oystons were "asset rich" but "cash poor" and needed time to raise money.
The EFL later issued a statement which read: "The EFL has noted reports relating to the outcome of the latest hearing in the High Court today.
"The EFL will await further details from Mr Oyston and/or Mr Belokon, as to the possible implications for the club, before commenting any further."
Good afternoon, thought I’d update you a bit further.
Sam Oyston, our newly appointed CEO resigned yesterday Natalie Christopher (nee Oyston) is still Chairman(woman?), I think. Karl Oyston now has no position whatsoever at the club
The Oystons were refused permission to appeal the award against them in the High Court The Oystons were refused an extension to pay the £10m they failed to pay in January and the court awarded Belokon the right to use whatever means to recover monies owed to him by the Oystons which does include seizing assets.
Lawyers acting for former Blackpool director Valeri Belokon have sent bailiffs to retrieve assets from the club's owners, the Oyston family, BBC Radio Lancashire reports.
The Oystons were ordered to buy out Mr Belokon's company VB Football Assets after a civil trial in November 2017.
However, a deadline to pay a £10m instalment was missed in February.
"Mr Belokon continues to have the interests of the club at heart," law firm Clifford Chance said.
The Oyston family still have to pay at least £20m of the £31m owed to Latvian businessman Belokon following November's judgement.
An initial payment of £10m was made within 28 days of the case ending, with a second similar sum due last month.
"We can confirm that our client is continuing to take steps to enforce the payment of the judgment debt that is owed to it by Owen Oyston, Karl Oyston and Blackpool Football (Properties) Limited," the statement continued.
"Mr Belokon emphasises that the actions being taken by bailiffs in Blackpool are not directed at Blackpool Football Club Limited or the football related assets."

Do you have fans that still believe in the Oystons?
I thought the decision meant that you would finally be rid of the Oystons.

As for the EFL well what can you say. Fcukers

Karl claims his dad Owen isn't fit and proper to run Blackpool.
If only Roderick had said the same about his dad.
