Not a fan of paying for things by card abroad - never know whether to pay in sterling or local currency- always seems to be a few add ons. But it is only £10- what could go wrong ? On the plus side my wife packed my BFC polo shirt so I know what I’m wearing tomorrow afternoon. Couple of beers &...
In Dubai who are 3 hours ahead so a 3.30pm kickoff here. Happy hour 12-6 in a rooftop bar overlooking downtown Dubai. 25 dirhams a pint ( approx £5.50). Swimming pool, lounger 90 degrees, WiFi so I will switch between Avftt & bbc websites so I look forward to some colourful comments depending on...
I’m planning to watch the already twice postponed Bamber Bridge vs Macclesfield match at the Farmer Giles ploughed field stadium whilst keeping an eye on the Blackpool match. Pitch inspection due at 2pm but persistent rain at moment in Walton le Dale doesn’t fill me with any optimism it will...
Against the run of play- Blackpool should have been out of sight- numerous chances spurned in the last quarter.The pitch definitely didn’t do them any favours. Still good to watch a game on a Tuesday afternoon.
I don’t know how the pitch will be at Bamber Bridge tomorrow as it was in a bad state after the last match on Boxing Day against Lancaster city. The game on Saturday was called off due to their opponents having, I think, to resign the league. The club put an appeal out for volunteers to go down...
I did suspect someone may think that when I posted - definitely not him- purely in homage! I was shocked to see his name on the Chorley team sheet & immediately saw the irony of Brig fielding Cullen. When Delfouenso was substituted he cut a very lonely figure in the dugout & he left before the...
Been following Bamber Bridge this season who are in Northern premier league- many Blackpool youngsters have been loaned there in recent seasons , manager Jamie Milligan & assistant John Hills are ex pool players. Brett Ormerod had a spell a few years ago.
Currently Mark Cullen is playing up...
Absolutely shocked to just read the original post discovering Paul’s situation & dumbfounded to scroll down to see the update tonight. Paul sat right next to us on the top balcony next to the scoreboard & was well known to my wife & her family for years & he lived close to us in Walton le dale...
He scored from a free kick versus Sheffield United in 1968 or 1969 in my first ever football match. I was standing in the Kop end towards what is now the East stand- I could barely see over the wall & remember a policeman standing on my hand for putting it on the wall. Got a free ticket from a...
Does this apply to all the Brits living on the Costas many of whom make no effort to learn Spanish- lo se por que tenia una casa en espanol muchas anos pasado. Unfortunately my keyboard doesn’t allow me to put in the correct accents but it’s near enough.
