A Blackpool FC supporter today accused the Oyston family of trying to silence fans after it emerged he was being sued by the club’s owner for £150,000 over comments he allegedly made on a fans’ message board.

Legal action is being taken against David Ragozzino over statements about chairman Karl Oyston, his father Owen and the football club posted on the online message board A View From The Tower last year.

Papers served on Ragozzino and seen by The Gazette list the claimants as Karl Samuel Oyston, John Owen Oyston and Blackpool Football Club Limited. The claims total £150,000.

Lifelong Seasiders fan Mr Ragozzino, 32, who lives in Marton, told The Gazette: “I had a letter a few months ago but I ignored it, but now I have received papers claiming defamation of character.

“Each claim is for £50,000. I am not over the moon about it. I am gutted.

The Gazette has seen the official legal documents issued to Mr Ragozzino. They list a string of sickening comments he is alleged to have made about the Oystons, some of which he denies were sent by him.


It's total bullshite that a club chairman would be worried about what a fan was saying on a message board.

However, out of curiosity, I would like to see exactly what this guy was accused of saying. He does have the look of your typical keyboard cowboy...
