Blackpool friendly at Lancaster City abandoned after pitch invasion

The pre-season friendly between Lancaster City and Blackpool is abandoned after a number of Tangerines fans invade the pitch.

Blackpool have seen a second game in the space of two months abandoned following a second-half pitch invasion by Seasiders fans in their pre-season friendly at Lancaster City.

The referee called the game off after 75 minutes with the scoreline at 3-1 to the Tangerines when a small number of fans descended onto the centre of the pitch to protest against chairman Karl Oyston.

The protest was similar to that at the end of last season when several hundred supporters gathered in the centre circle at Bloomfield Road during Blackpool's final Championship fixture against Huddersfield Town.


That game was also called off, the club subsequently being charged with "failing to ensure that no spectators or unauthorised persons were able to encroach onto the pitch area".
