    Brighton - Absolutely incredible.

    The extract below from sporting news gives a bit more of a view on Bloom's huge contribution. I met him a couple of times many years ago and before he bought Brighton. He was always a massive fan as was his family and even though at the time they had no ground he was confident that if he ever...

    Anyone else on here been to away games by transit van?

    Ha, yes 53 I was on that Swindon trip. It was I think organised via the Castle Gardens pub. We actually got there at half time and a bald headed guy in an old leather jacket (me) managed to persuade police/stewards to let us in through a turnstile which meant we had to walk through the away end...

    A sliver of positivity

    I agree with the optimism. For whatever reason we have a plague of message writers (I won't call them fans) who like to put a negative slant on anything and everything to do with our club. I suspect there is an element who are a mixture of non Blackpool fans, people very sad and bitter about...

    Manchester Airport is a shambles

    I spent many years of my working life employed by US financial institutions and as such travelled every week to different cities around the world. Some major hubs and some minor and some supposedly third world. Without doubt returning or leaving from Manchester airport was almost always the...

    Steve Thompson

    Why would we want him back? He has been at Preston for many years, which is a negative. During his team there he was support/influence to a good number of managers/coaches at a club which had plenty of money and decent facilities thrown at it by the owner, but as we happily know well they had...

    Club Wembley on sale for £299

    Just bought two. I would reccomend doing it early to ensure that Sunderland or Lincoln don't get too many. The more Blackpool we have in their the better.

    Do you think they are still ringing people ?

    I suspect that there are some admin problems. I watched On iFollow every single game home and away, plus the cup games, but have heard nothing. I have two people I go to games with who for various reasons missed a couple of matches and yet they have had the call.

    I offended the mrs

    I agree. Some people don't get it. If you support Blackpool you do not go anywhere near someone who supports that club. I have gone my whole life avoiding the place except when supporting the mighty, and never employing people from the town. How you can make a joke of actualy marrying some one...

    So who remembers this ...

    Yes I was there. Had a bad day all round as the car had broken down in Oxford town centre earlier where we had gone for a bit of refreshment. It was around the period when we were about 10 points clear of third place and so Allerdyce decided we would no longer attack and we played for the rest...

    Are we capable of winning 7-8 of our remaining 14 games?

    The squad is more than capable. It is whether the head coach and his team are able to step up to the plate. To do so Critchley will have to pick the best available players on a consistant rather than random basis, that we will not try to be clever but will propose a simple but flexible strategy...

    0898 12 16 48

    I used to also ring that club line all the time. Often it had not been updated since the lastime I called it.

    Your Ollie stories

    Ollie, undoubtedly gave us some of the best football and memories most of us will ever have. For a good while he was my hero. However as someone has said higher up this thread, best not to meet your hero. We had just won a night game with a late winner when not playing well and I was in...

    Who wanted to buy BFC and which were serious offers?

    Also a Receiver has a duty of care to not only the creditors but the debtor as well. When you have someone as litigeous as Oyston watching your every move the Receiver has to make sure he is fully transparent and makes every reasonable effort to obtain the best price. It was something I was...
