Really hope you can come through this guy's. Good Luck.

if it comes down to it and we still have a club to support next season, but the majority of players have left (despite a large number giving verbal agreements not to go elsewhere if panthers survive) then there is plenty of local talent at the amateur club within blackpool to give a slightly competitive team, there are plenty of players there who can cope at cc1 standard, I personally can vouch for many of them as I myself play along side them. Some of whom have proven in the past they can do so whether it be in nr9s or even cc1 itself, that is, if the new club want to go down this road.

The players gave MC a verbal agreement that they would sign, with MC no longer at the club due to reasons he saw fit the players therefore do not have any security and have to look elsewhere for a club. The players have been 100% loyal to the panthers but as is still the case no one knows whats happening. Clubs are signing players and as we arguably had some of the best players in the league its only common sense other clubs want our players. You cant blame the players, they want to play rugby and its unfortunate that us at blackpool are still in limbo. I for one wish anyone that leaves our club the best in the future. As for playing amatuer players from the local area, i would imagine every panthers supporter wants 17 lads from blackpool in our squad but the reality is that isnt going to happen. People like brett whitehead and joe bullock are very good local talent but play in wigan, blackpool has no chance to compete with the wigans etc.
Lets hope first and foremost we have a club then build on that and make it a community club and substainable for years to come.

SO SAD TO HEAR ABOUT BLACKPOOL PANTHERS.been to watch blackpool play quite a few time . i am a cas tigers fan and allways had my club shirt on when i went to games over there.I WAS ALLWAYS MADE WELLCOME BY FANS AND CLUB OFFICALS.makes my blood boil when i read clubs like blackpool are dieing yet the RFL will bend over backward to keep the likes of crusaders in super league.I WISH BLACKPOOL EVERY GOOD WISH AND HOPE SOME TIME SOON THEY CAN REFORM AS A NEW CLUB AND COME BACK STRONGER THAN EVER.XXX

It just seems to look like the end now - but, if a new club is formed and gets back into CC1, I'll go and support you when you play your first game.

. Lets hope if true they get it sorted asap as players are signing for other clubs(swinton,rochdale) so may have a team but no players left'"
