WHAT FORMER BLACKPOOL PLAYERS SAID…

CHARLIE ADAM

‘I’ve always had a great relationship with the fans. The time I spent there was special, with all we achieved, and I still live in the town. It would have been easy for the fans to give up but the way they’ve stuck together shows what a special fanbase the club have. To see them filling the stadium on Saturday was brilliant.’

KEITH SOUTHERN

‘The fans have fought, stood by their principles. The fans were the catalyst for everything good we achieved, not just on a match day, but the town itself was a vibrant, buzzing place full of enthusiasm and excitement.’

GARY TAYLOR-FLETCHER

‘I didn’t know how it was going to change, the way the old regime had locked down the club and alienated the fans was a disgrace. The way the fans have stuck to their morals has been superb.’

ALEX BAPTISTE

‘The five years I was there was the best time of my life. The fans, management and players achieved something that we shouldn’t have given our circumstances. I still live there now and to see Blackpool turn a corner is brilliant for the community.’

BRETT ORMEROD

‘What an emotional day for everyone. The future’s bright, the future’s tangerine.’
