Blackpool tickets put on hold
Posted on: Mon 17 Dec 2007
Remaining tickets for this weekend's trip to Blackpool in the Coca-Cola Championship have been temporarily suspended.

Blackpool has requested tickets be put on hold after problems occurred in the visiting supporters stand at their match against Stoke City on Saturday have left it needing repair.

Due to these safety concerns, the Seasiders are currently unsure how many supporters it will be safe to sell tickets to


;D

A problem on Saturday was that, whilst the tickets all had numbers, some of the seats didn't!

or did the police do the damage when they were randomly ejecting anyone that dare to celebrate a goal

Was the damage done through vandalism or by accident?

The Coventry piece reads as though the stand was vandalised but I'm pretty sure it is because the stand was made of papier mache and therefore couldn't withstand the weight of 2000 supporters.

It is a recipe for disaster and should not be allowed

Whilst jumping up and down the thing felt like it was going to go down, they had the same problem 2 years ago with sheff wednesday. The stand is not safe for football upporters, especially if your not sitting
