Arsenal forced to change team bus as Blackpool fans attempt to postpone FA Cup tie

Several Blackpool supporters blocked Arsenal's bus from leaving the team hotel in an effort to postpone Saturday's FA Cup tie.

The Gunners were forced to change to a new bus as Blackpool supporters continue to protest the club's owner Owen Oyston.

One Blackpool fan climbed on top of the coach, while several others stood in its way in an effort to prevent the bus from leaving the hotel and heading to Bloomfield Road.

Blackpool supporters saw the high-profile FA Cup showdown as an opportunity to have their protests against Oyston given a bigger platform, with the game broadcast on national television.
