Thankfully the Reading FC owners don't take this stance.

Although the owners of Blackpool FC are a lot more deserving of the abuse they receive. Feel sorry for their fans.

To be fair to the fans, from memory of a previous article on the subject, some of the things they were sued for were allegedly much of a nothingness and about the running of the club rather than personal attacks on the owners.

I can imagine they would of received some pretty explicit messages from fans, but who can blame them when they've been such wankers and effectively ruined their club. The fans are the lifeblood of a football club, without fans all you have is an empty stadium with 22 players kicking a ball about, and it's not as if Blackpool are pulling in lots of TV money.

You'll probably get away with that one as you can claim to have been calling the fans wankers who effectively ruined their club :wink:

Yeah.. this is all the fan's fault :wink: did you see that one of Blackpool's fans has been banned for 3 years for the tangerine throwing incident?
