Charlton and Blackpool supporters joined together to protest outside the EFL's office in LondonSupporters from Charlton Athletic and Blackpool have staged protests outside offices of the English Football League, claiming its inaction is failing to push through changes in ownership at their respective clubs. Two Charlton fans met with EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey in London. An EFL spokesperson said: "The EFL acknowledges the right of Blackpool and Charlton Athletic fans to stage a protest outside EFL offices on Friday afternoon. A large section of Blackpool supporters have boycotted matches and held protests against their owners, the Oyston family, for several years over their running of the Lancashire club. In a statement released before their protest in Preston, the Blackpool Supporters Trust said the EFL has refused to take "meaningful action" since that ruling.
