I accept that most people in the North want to stand but we are an all seater stadium and in breach of our safety certificate by allowing them to do so. The have been incidents of disorder which have landed the club in trouble which stem from the North - flares, chanting, bottles thrown. This...

It's not that we won't sell. We have had our capacity cut because we aren't adhering to conditions i.e we don't ensure that supporters are sat in seats. Many stand up in the away end for the entire game. Yesterday Barnsley fans were stood in the aisles and on the back row. We don't steward the...

I was told that the Blackpool delegation that presented the case for the town was insanely over confident and came across as though they believed it was theirs by right. All broad brush and no detail. It was ours to lose....and we did.

THE most stupid post in the forum's history - and that's a high bar.

Sorry but I have to disagree with the opening post. We don't need a ground larger than 17000. Our attendances show this. Even in our glory years of the 1950s we weren't that well supported. The year we won the cup our average was 25,800. That was when football had a virtual monopoly, no TV games...

Yes - he scored at the kop end - I think it got a deflection.

The result might not have been the greatest but it's not everyday we take 8,000 for an away game...

These reports are superb. The quality of the journalism complete with a bespoke cartoonist. Thank you for posting them - what an archive to draw upon! Who'd have thought we were taking 5-6k away from home in 1948! Rationing was still in place! Keep 'em coming - please.

It was a stunner! Bamber's in the same game was under rated - an acute angle, cool finish.

My memory is playing up I thought he scored a penalty at the south to win it...or did they beat us two years in a row? Him scoring both times? I'm sure you are right. The mists of time are catching up with us.

Obscure game, but Tony Grealish scored an absolute beauty for Rotherham against us in the Leyland Daf in the 80s. Richard Cooke for Bournemouth when Harry Redknapp was manager.

Man City - FA cup late equaliser for them. Sherpa Van Northern Final - knocked out by Bolton. Preston away - Boxing Day '87. 1 nil up with 10 mins to go. Lost 2-1. Gillingham at home late 80s. We were 3 up with 10 mins to go. Drew 3-3. We've list bigger more important games since then. But I...

Apologies for the errors with the original link and post- it works now.

1977 Swap Shop in Blackpool. If you went you might spot yourself in the crowd by North Pier with Cheggars. The entire episode is on You Tube and is interesting as a piece of history in itself. Swap Shop in Blackpool

Did anyone on here go when they came to town? Cheggers was on the beach by North Pier.
