    Offiah

    I’ll be slated for this but I’m at least consistent when I say I don’t think he was that special. In moments he looked great, but I felt he was often found out of position and was at fault for a fair few mistakes. The lad has everything going for him physically and technically but I’m not sure...

    Pitch renovation.

    But below 8oC grass struggles to grow… which in the NW of the UK is a big issue from October - March. Plus games getting called off due to a frozen pitch etc. I’m sure it’s not an either/or choice tbf.

    Pitch renovation.

    Notice they talk about the pitch being 25 years old - I wonder if when the East gets the more significant structural work done next pre-season if they’ll also put a new pitch in - including drainage etc. We may finally see under soil heating etc. It’s absolutely fantastic what the grounds team...

    Letter from Owen Oyston to Simon Sadler

    I doubt it’s legitimate. The font, wording, structure and random facts and pieces of information thrown in scream AI to me.

    The Summer Transfer Thread - Part 2.

    Jerry Yates jumping around in the new away kit… Niall Ennis alongside. Those two would be such a ridiculous handful in League 1.

    If BFC hadn't been around ....

    Arsenal. The squad they had and the style of football they played in the late 90’s and early 00’s was seriously special. Bergkamp & Henry made me fall in love with football.

    The Summer Transfer Thread - Part 2.

    Just one of a generation of youngsters who ended up at Fleetwood instead of Blackpool. Just imagine the way a 20 year old England youth international who was one of our own would have gone down at Bloomfield Road . Cheers KoKo. Hopefully in another 5 years or so there won’t be too many more...

    The Summer Transfer - Thread Part 1.

    I think we definitely need to see some more movement on the transfer front this week. There’s some big holes in the squad at present and still probably 6/7 - possibly more - players to come in - you’d like to think the majority will be with us come the first days of pre-season to give us the...

    Tyrer on permanent, as per Alan Nixon

    That’s only even remotely achievable if a GKs playing regularly for a team dominating whatever competition they’re in! Even Liverpool conceded in 24 PL games last season.

    Tangerine in the East Stand

    Once the back rows are put back in the stand and seats etc - anything written on the back wall would be obscured by fans anyway. It’s a very low roof.

    Tangerine in the East Stand

    It does look better for it, and the South roof looks much better too. I hope there’s some money in the budget next season for the outside of BR too. It’s looking very tired again and given it’s one of the first things people see coming in to Blackpool and one of the only things several thousand...

    Tyrer on permanent, as per Alan Nixon

    Wouldn’t be surprised if he called it a day. But he’s from the North West is known for being a big character and would be amazing to have in and around the dressing room. Not sure he’d be happy on back up at Blackpool money though ! It’s a bit different to no.3 at Man City and regular medals to boot

    Tyrer on permanent, as per Alan Nixon

    I take what Nixon says with a pinch of salt but if Tyrer is willing to join us it’s an absolute no-brainer move. Solid League 1 GK who will get better. A known entity with no bedding in necessary too. And a likely opportunity to make some profit down the line. Spending money on a GK at any...

    Painting the Roof Tangerine

    You’d imagine because the South needed a repaint as part of planned maintenance. I’m certain as and when the West and North are due the work they’ll get the same treatment. If the current paint is ok, they’re not gonna bring the job forward for the sake of aesthetics. Especially as this sort of...

    Painting the Roof Tangerine

    Do you not reckon it’ll be part of planned maintenance? Would be a daft waste of money to do the other stands if it isn’t already scheduled. I was quoted almost £2k for a couple of hallways and the stairs. God only knows how much a couple of weeks of cherry pickers, industrial paints and...
