Mystery surrounded the removal of the statue of Stan Mortensen at Bloomfield Road last night, just four days before it was set to be used as the focal point of fans’ protest.
There has been no confirmation that the statue’s disappearance is linked to the planned protests, although Blackpool FC were unable to comment on its removal.
A timetable for Saturday’s protests released by the Blackpool Supporters Trust and the Tangerine Knights named the statue as a gathering point before Saturday’s lunchtime match against Huddersfield.
Steve Smith, spokesperson for the Tangerine Knights said: “We met with the police on Monday and were told we couldn’t hold any form of demonstration on club land, including the area around the statue. “We were told if we planned to lay any memorabilia around the statue there was a possibility Karl Oyston would take out a civil trespassing injunction before Saturday.
“That would in theory allow him to pick out named individuals who go near the statue through the civil courts.
“We feel the removal of the Mortensen statue is all too coincidental.
“I’m sure Blackpool fans will be making their own minds up until there is an official explanation from the club.”
You really could not make this season up
