i can't no
i remember every time we went i ended up freezing my bollocks off, didn't seem to matter what time of the year it was either


Do you remember Micky Walsh's goal of the season, about 75ish...?

Against Sunderland at bloomfield rd, was a screamer on a piss wet through day. I still remember it well. I bet if you saw it it would all come back...? I'm sure 'Budgie' was Blackpools keeper that day as well before he left for Villa.

wasn't he blackpool's keeper throughout the 50s, 60s,70s and 80s?

It just seems it!!! I was up in Scotland once at a Hibs game when he was in goal for them. It was worth the entrance fee just to watch him warm up, no puddle was left that he hadn't dived in. I thought he had mellowed somewhat by the time he came to us though.

Their Centre-Forward Ben Burgess is a big City fan. Used to be a City season-ticket holder. Played for Chapel Boys.

I look out for their results every weekend, i want them to come up, would be an amazing away day.

Same here, i work with a few Blackpool and Preston fans and the banter is always good. i always look out for the pool resuts.

I was at that game, sat on the wall right behind the goal that Walsh scored into, what a match, not just the goal but Sunderland had a penalty to equalise late on and a policeman behind the nets was doing a dance to put the taker off! It worked and Burridge saved it.

There used to be bags of trouble at Bloomfield Road, I was at the game against Bolton when a lad got killed and the police kept everyone back in the ground, my mum went mental because it was on the news that a young lad had died and of course she presumed it was me.

The Spion Kop behind the goal was huge and the fans used to battle for the centre, the authorities put a fence up but that didn't bother Stoke fans, they broiught a ladder! It was like watching Cloppa Castle as they attempted to lay siege to the Blackpool fans.

Blackpool had their fair share of nutters in those days, many a 'big' club came a cropper.

My mate was at that game He said everyone was locked in after game for ages said it was mental. There used to be like a members drinking club at the back of the ground.

It was called The Tangerine Club and ironically they used the £100k they got for Burridge to pay for it.

Don't read this bit if your eating breakfast....I was in The Tangerine one night and getting on famously with a girl from Burnley, one thing led to another and I suggested we 'went outside' she said, and I can still hear her voice...'I'm on't blob but you can do me up t'shitter'

Ah, romance.

The only time i ever got 'nicked' at a match was after a seventies friendly at Blackpool .......... i also passed my driving test there in the early nineties ...... i luv the place

....... C'mon Blackpool!

Looks like they've only got half a ground though!

 

[law74]

I spent many a happy day in Blackpool and they're a team I always look out for. Don't know how I'd feel about them if they actually got to the Prem as all the other teams I have a soft spot for are totally shite! :)

Anyway, if they did, there's no chance that we'd play them on a Sat or Sunday. It is nailed on for Monday night as it is with Liverpool, Everton, Rags. No way would the police have it these days I'm afraid.

Police have never moved us to monday night for any you mention. Early Saturday and Sunday if anything. Sat evening at Burnely, that was unexpected!

That the real reason why Andy Morrisson testimonial was cancelled? Or was it just the agent being greedy? He would have made a fortune that day.

Blackpool fans called Andy Morrisson "The Marine"

A Blackpool fan was stabbed and later died. A plaque in his memory was recently unveiled at Bloomfield Road. You're right about the police keeping everyone in the ground. There was a photo on the front page of the Lancashire Telegraph at the time showing the entire Kop End 'under arrest'!

My girlfriend and her family are huge Blackpool fans and I have seen them about 10 times this season - Charlie Adam was bought from Rangers - a centre midfield and he is pretty special.
Burgess is a city fan but us really quite shit at football!

As for half a ground the new stand has been put up now so they have an attendance of around 13000 but the pitch is always crap

 

[Stiss]

Jesus can you imagine going to the two stand stadium that is Gloomfield Road.

(last time I saw it, 18 months ago, it only had 2 stands I guess it still does)
