Tangerine dream: Blackpool fans step up war on the Oystons by buying 'home made' club shirt

Unhappy Blackpool fan Lee Morton is hitting the club where it hurts most – in the pocket – by selling his own brand club shirt.

The Blackpool Supporters Trust (BST) has called upon all its members to snap it up as part of the Not a Penny More campaign.

Morton, a Tangerines fan for the past 25 years, believes his shirt allows fans to show their true colours without parting with too much cash.

He said: "Over the years, I have spent a fortune on season tickets, shirts, food and all sorts at BFC but now I've decided enough is enough.

"Like myself, many Pool fans enjoy wearing the shirt, particularly on matchdays, and I like to see my son in the famous tangerine.

"I put forward the idea of an alternative shirt which fans could buy and it was picked up by the BST. I sourced, designed and I am now selling the shirts off my own back - the response has been fantastic."

Blackpool fans have become increasingly frustrated with the club's chairman, Karl Oyston and the way he has been handling the management of the Seasiders which saw the club relegated from the Championship last season.

The BST formed just over a year ago in an attempt to address the huge issues the fans believe the club currently faces and recently offered the club's owner, Owen Oyston, a takeover bid proposal.

Morton added: "I started with just 70 shirts but since they sold I've made five fresh orders and can't get them quick enough.

"A new batch is due next week and hopefully more and more people will buy them and support the cause."

So far, 400 fans have snapped up the kit, which is available in junior and adult sizes.They are being sold on a not-for-profit basis and Lee decided to donate £10 excess cost to the BST which has so far raised almost £4,000.

The shirts are available to buy online now, priced at £22.74 for kids and £34.74 for adults with £10 going to BST.

The official shirts are currently being sold off at £5 on the club website.
