i did post in a thread on here a few months ago one club were in SERIOUS trouble, but i wouldn't name them due to having sensitive confidential information.....


however, yes it is the boys on the fylde.........whilst you cant blame the players, some of the wage packets there would make you green with envy, and you cant sustain that on gates of 300

yep, I would have Ballard,Munroe and Hemmingway as back up players.......all 3 are going well this season.

From wot here all their players have been freed and the club has gone no suprise and when will clubs learn.

You are joking Maden, have you actually seen him play this season, he's been a major improvement, cut out the silly penalties, and would be one of the first names on the team sheet on current performance. Well done Steve keep it up!

As for Blackpool it's never good to see any club in difficulties, Good Luck to them.

i'd give that to riddy

No one blamed the RFL and had a dig at Dick (ho ho) Lewis yet? You're all slacking..

If it's true that they've been paying over the top wages, then they've no one to blame but themselves. You can't keep throwing money at a bottomless pit, I've said that for years. It's always sad to see a club fail, but I'd rather a club folded than kept limping along, dragging an impossible to clear debt behind it.
With a bit of luck someone in Blackpool will keep the club alive, but a fresh start is the only realistic option.

Agreed.

Lads been fantastic this season.

Scoring for fun in a poor league with good players around him.

Lets not remember the lads main weakness his defence.

From what I have been told they are a victim of their own success.
They did not budget to win so many games ,but why are people slagging in them off .
We should as a sport rally round them how much money have the RFL pumped into the QUINS ,CRUSADERS AND THE FROGS to keep them going.
Blackpool have a lot of local lads in their squad and giving coaching opportunities to local English lads to.
So instead of acting like a pack of Vultures lets look at the bigger picture they are a Lancashire club so lets support them not kick them in the teeth when they are down.

I thought Leythers where Rugby Lovers

I can only see one real 'slagging off' post Mick and thats from a self confessed 'Super league is great' person, What I did say in a previous post somewhere on here was that once their chairman (now ex) got involved then expect trouble, something which is proved true.

Not at a pop at you Fred just think some people are to quick to jump on the bandwagon sometimes.
John Chadwick their chair seems a decent bloke and loves rugby , as most of you know we have our kids finals at Fylde and this year we had a double booking with the Panthers down to play Doncaster the same day as our finals.
John phoned me and we had a good chat and the result being the Panthers re-arranged their game for a Friday night how many pro clubs would have done that for the amateurs not many trust me.

My point is the RFL should step in and help Blackpool not let them go under ,they have a squad of good honest lads quite a few originating from Leigh and they deserve some support surely ?

No I know you werent Mick (for once )

I totally agree they spout on about expansionism and all's I see is clubs out of Soooooper league going to the wall, it may well be the fault of BoD's and Chairmen but at the end of the day whilst there may not be many speccies at Blackpool its they who suffer.
This may be harsh but until ALL Championship and Ch 1 chairmen get together and agree to work together for the common good of RL then this will still keep happening over and over and there but for the grace of 'im upsteers' there go all of us.
They could do with having a word with Starbug he may be a bad tempered crotchetty old so and so but he does have a few good ideas that would benefit not only the semi pro's but the amateur clubs as well.
