Blackpool apologise to Huddersfield Town following match abandonment

Blackpool say that they will work closely with the authorities to find the culprits who took to the field to cause their abandonment against Huddersfield Town.

Blackpool have issued a statement condemning the supporters who took to the field during this afternoon's clash against Huddersfield Town.

The Tangerines' final Championship game of the season had to be abandoned with 48 minutes on the clock as a result of the pitch invasion, which was used as a protest against chairman Karl Oyston.

Manager Lee Clark refused to criticise the section of fans who made their anger known to the man in charge at the club, but Blackpool have said that they are working with authorities to find the culprits.

"Following the abandonment of the Huddersfield Town match today, the club would like to confirm that all available CCTV footage is now being collated and studied by the relevant authorities to identify those who took part in the pitch invasion and other offences of disorder," the statement read.

"The club will work with the relevant authorities to take appropriate action against all those responsible for disorder offences inside the stadium. The club will also co-operate fully with The Football Association and The Football League in light of any investigations that follow on from the match being abandoned.

"The club would like to place on record its gratitude to the ground safety officer, stewards and police for their efforts today, as the operation managed to successfully avoid any injuries to those in attendance at the stadium. The club would like to offer its sincere apologies to Huddersfield Town Football Club, its supporters, manager, players and directors, as well as the Blackpool supporters who remained in the stands."

Blackpool finished the season bottom of the Championship table, following a campaign of misery both on and off the field.
