Who has never actually lived in 'Blackpool'

Born and bred in West Cumbria, now live in Carlisle.

Supported the Pool since 1982 …. Both kids following in my footsteps with the support of Pool.
My kids first visit to Bloomfield Road ( to see the Pool ) will be our first home match against Cardiff. I’ve two very excited little ones 👍🏻
 
Born & bred. That's if the Memorial hospital in St. Anne's counts as Blackpool, given that my parents were living in the Pool when I popped out.
 
From Catterall (Garstang) never lived any closer than that.
The farthest away I have been is Nottingham.

A visit to the club shop is obligatory for a little un’s first game...£££££😁🧡👍
 
Genuine Sandgrown’un.
Born in the town ( 1951) ( another one for Glenroyd)and lived in Belvere Avenue until 1963 before Dad moved us to St.Annes.
Back in Blackpool from December 1975( when we got married) to July 1977( commuting to work,me Manchester based,wife,Preston just got too much).Moved to Cheadle Hulme after short spell in a flat in Prestwich Manchester, whilst looking for a new house,and been here ever since.Home is definitely here but Blackpool( because of BFC) is still my spiritual one.
 
Does Bispham count?
Born in Stockport, lived Cheadle Hulme, Chadderton and then moved to Bispham as a kid. Married lived in Penwortham, Ribchester, Blackburn, Winterton on Sea, Norfolk and now Whitby 👍
 
Born Glenroyd, Thornton till left home, then Avon, that there, Oxfordshire, Northants, Suffolk, Cumbria and the Highlands for the last 8 years. Season tickets here and there, including 3 years now.

If asked where I'm from, always say Blackpool as no one knows Thornton. Everyone where I live now have happy memories ( or no memory at all !) of Blackpool.
 
I was in Blackpool for two weeks in 1994, and went to see the Wolves-game in the PL-season. Apart from that, I’ve not been to Blackpool. Still the club plays an instrumental part of my life. Being a groundjumper, I try to combine Blackpool FC with a new ground, hence not going back to Bloomers. I’ve watched Blackpool live for 39 games, corona preventing me to add to this number.
 
Born in Leicester, moved out of the family home and down to London for work then up to Thornton (so pretty close) for 4/5 years now in Kendal.

Genuinely loved everywhere I’ve lived although I hate going back to Leicester these days as the place is awful. London is London. It was great for me being young and going out, jumping on the tube etc. Would be more than happy if I ended up back in Thornton/Cleveleys again although being so close to The Lakes has its benefits. I do miss being by the sea though.
 
Born and bred codhead then auckland New Zealand for 22 years now in cleveleys first pool game 1959 and cant wait to get back to Bloomers.
 
Lived near the sandcastle/pleasure beach for a couple of years as a kid. Loved it, but my parents hated it! In the Fylde most of my life except 10 years in Leeds.
 
First shout out for KIrkham
Born and bred there but moved to the Manchester area over 40 years ago.
Blackley, Chadderton, Heywood, Radcliffe and Bolton (where I am now)
KIrkham more or less bang in the middle of Bloomfield Road and Deepdale and I decided the best option was to “Go West” as the Village People (and Pet Shop Boys) used to sing..
