| Karl Oyston Step Down - A Petition 09:25 - Dec 24 with 14102 views | BFCSupportersTrust |
Club President Valeri Belokon has called upon all Blackpool fans to support a petition for Club Chairman Karl Oyston to step down from his position with immediate effect.
Blackpool Supporters Trust would ask that our members , Blackpool fans and indeed all in the football community support Mr Belokons request and sign the attached petition that requests that Mr Karl Oyston step down from any position of influence in Blackpool FC immediately. This petition will be submitted to the FA and Football League as well as to Blackpool Football Club owner Mr Owen Oyston.
As many fans will be aware, Karl Oyston has recently been in the national and local media, having engaged in a series of abusive text exchanges with Blackpool supporters, which has further sullied the good name of Blackpool FC through association.
The attitude displayed by Mr Oyston, not only in regard to the unacceptable references to disabilities and ' special needs ' but in his general attitude towards hard working Blackpool fans in general makes him in our view unsuitable to hold a position of influence within our famous community football club.
For some time the relationship between Club and its fans has been strained and it is our firm belief that many of these issues are a direct result of Karl Oyston and his confrontational approach to the fan base. This latest outburst from Mr Oyston is simply a very public demonstration of an attitude that as has no place on football and decent society and which in addition has had a negative impact on relations between Karl Oyston and numerous managers , board members , members of the Press , players , fans and of course, Mr Belokon himself. When one individual manages to sour relations with so many other people, then the source of the problem becomes patently obvious. Karl Oyston seems incapable of managing everyday relationships without conflict and that cannot be good for Blackpool Football Club.
The time has come for Blackpool Football Club to move on into a new era of cooperation between Club and its fans and the wider community and for us to build upon the success that Valeri Belokon's substantial investment had brought about. Blackpool Supporters Trust call upon Mr Owen Oyston to remove Karl Oyston from any position of influence with immediate effect and re-establish a working relationship with Valeri Belokon, with a view to making positive progress, placing football first, investing properly for the success of the team and to start treating the fans and community of Blackpool with the respect that they deserve from the ambassador of our historic club.
Please sign the online petition detailing your full name & email address, together with any comments that you feel are relevant.

Scroll below the main editorial and there are hundreds (only shows 5/6 at a time -there was a disturbing one from Jack Stringfellow). If you are using a tablet I don't think it shows them, need a laptop. |
Quite a contrast between new AVFTT and Original Avftt, over 250 posts and many giving their support there. | | | |

Possibly because the old site has thousands more registered posters than the new one?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but you're not make a very good fist of it. | | | |

Over 3,000 have signed the petItion. Only a very small percentage have declared doing so on a message board. Point proven. | | | |

That is why I like this board. Most people just get on with things in a non-aggressive manner. |  |

Well strangely still no significant visible sign of support for the BST initiative on this site, only people seemingly very defensive about their lack of solidarity. | | | |

You're not really looking very hard are you? But If it makes you feel happier I've signed it. I expect most other regular posters will have done so too but just don't feel the need to shout about it. | | | |

I have looked and there is no significant visible support for a wonderful initiative by BST, and I simply found this strange.
The defensiveness and attitude of some of this sites posters is not helping to attract people to join in or share their views I would add.
I find it worrying so many find a simple observation that the solidarity of support against the Oyston family is lacking on this site, and your attitudes towards that observation don't help change my mind!
What a strange bunch some of you are. | | | |

Its been noted Sandy -the other BFC fan sites are getting behind this campaign and being vocal in their support and encouraging others . Here you will find some sly digs an insult and the o/p with a 'abuse reported' next to it!!! 
Meanwhile this campaign is getting support from all over the country. | | | |

Seems to me that unless you shout your actions from the rooftops on avftt then you're a) not a proper fan and b) an Oyston apologist, how pathetic that reasoning is!!! |  | | |

The petition only needs a couple more hundred to hit 5,000.
Just FYI.

Five Thousand Signatures in Five Days!! (and a bit)
More media coverage today.
More texts yet to be released.
Releasing in depth match reports, as seen on here, in our situation is ridiculous. We are relegated, face reality. Many players will leave in Jan, expect no quality replacements, the rest will leave at the end of the season. Double relegation is a strong possibility as all investment is tied to income and with another drastic fall in gate receipts a certainty next season, we will simply fill the squad on the cheap (as usual).
The reality is the club has no future which involves progress under our current owners.
Most fans know this and are either boycotting, protesting or seeing out their season ticket. All that will remain is those happy to get out on a Saturday and see anybody wearing a tangerine shirt run around for 90 minutes (plus). regardless of quality ,league position, lack of ambition and investment or the fact that all surplus funds are siphoned off. What true fan would accept that? Supporting BFC should mean more than simply sitting and cheering whatever is put in front of them and regardless of the conduct of the owners.
A community asset drained of all vigour and pride ,made subservient to the portfolio requirements of one family and contemptuous of its fans deserves zero support.
'You get the club you deserve' is a phrase oft quoted, many fans are backing a campaign that it doesn't become synonymous with BFC. [Post edited 29 Dec 2014 11:05]

"Regularly visit the old AVFTT but prefer this one for how it looks etc but I still don't get why people like BloodTangerine and co insist on calling this the pro-Oyston, deluded or even as today 'pussies' site. I don't think the whole time I've read this site that there has been anyone defending Oyston, people like Curryman are vociferous in their condemnation and the editorials regularly knock the guy.
Think more would use this site if that incorrect perception was finally put to bed. "
Yet it is this site that has shown the least support/ encouragement for the Petition to remove Karl (even allowing for its low traffic) -with fav music and smells ??! seemingly of more interest.
A peculiar site indeed. | | | |

Maybe having signed the petition the folk on here are not besotted by it and are just waiting for events to unfold via the FA and FL, after all what jot of difference does it make for you to know who's signed it, unless it's just to stir the soft and smelly stuff Phill007???? | | | |

There seems very little desire on here to promote and encourage the very idea of changing the owners. When this is highlighted there appears to be anger from some.
It's all a little bit sad. | | | |

FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED in 6 Days
Bry? Never even asked whose signed it, simply encouraging support, as are the other sites (and clearly quite successfully) 
The petition is going to be presented to the FA so obviously the more signatures the better.
If you want change you often have to work for it  | | | |

Bry the other sites are 'going on and on' about it as you put it (over 300 posts AVFTT, 10 pages on BHS) even the Gazette has highlighted it. Are you telling them to stop too?
This site has hardly any posts supporting it, 'abuse reported' next to the o/p and some posters like yourself saying essentially stop bringing it up or providing updates. ??? When something is outside the norm, it is indeed peculiar.
It's a short petition campaign that will ,as already said ,will be presented to the FA.
(PS Aggressive ??  , not even close  |
No-one is telling anyone what to do. That's our USP.  | | | |

Point is Phil EVERYONE on this site may well and probably have signed so why keep pursuing the matter in what seems a slightly aggresive manner? I admire your support of the cause but constantly going on and on about itmay have the opposite effect, especially when folk start calling the site and by definition its members "peculiar", just saying like thats all [Post edited 30 Dec 2014 9:40]

Once again, if you say it often it enough, you'll believe it.
There's a perception that this site is anti-petition, pro-Oyston.
Nothing could be further from the truth as anyone who actually read the site would see.
Everyone I know has signed the petition. What else do you want me to do?
I'll put my cards on the table here. I was an early signatory to BST and have said all along that they should be the ones to lead any change, rather than pointless protests and boycotts. They are doing things the right way, and the latest initiative through the petition is gathering support in a reasoned, rational manner, making a case for change.
Carry on insinuating that we don't care over here,if it makes you feel better, but once again, you're wrong. | | | |

While you're here...
Were you at the BSA AGM Wiz?
Did/do you support a motion for independence?
Do you support an open vote by all members to decide the issue?
