Blackpool force disabled fan to move seats

BLACKPOOL sparked outrage among their fans yesterday after announcing they will net off a section of the seats to prevent pitch invasions.

The League One outfit are currently facing a three-point deduction and could play a number of matches behind closed doors after the final game of last season, against Huddersfield, had to be abandoned at half-time due to fans invading the pitch.

The netting will cover a section of the stadium where season ticket holders sit, with the club informing them via letter yesterday morning.
