FANS ARE LOSING IT – OYSTON

BLACKPOOL chairman Karl Oyston insists fans are hurting themselves by refusing to attend matches until he sells up.

Just 7,197 people showed up for Tuesday’s goalless draw with Oldham but Oyston says it’s nothing new.

“We’ve had exactly this position from the day I took over,” he said. “Various people pledged never to step foot in the ground until we built a new stand.

“Then others pledged not to step foot in the ground until we built three stands, then until we built four stands, then not until we were in the Championship.

“If their criteria for entry is us selling the club, that’s out of their control.”
