    Women’s football

    Talking of standards, we so often can barely pass a ball (as can't many L1 and L2 teams). Technically the top WSL teams can at least do that.

    Steve Bruce Grandson

    Awful news, thoughts with the family. We get games called off in League One and Two for kids getting selected for international U-18s games, yet when something genuinely important and heartbreaking happens that puts football into perspective it is a case of crack on.

    Crowd for Wendies ?

    I definitely can't ever second guess. Sometimes I think I'm one step ahead and then I come crashing down 🤣

    Crowd for Wendies ?

    Thanks. I thought about taking him to one of the early cup games when it would be a lot quieter but the issue is that as the South is always closed he would then have to move to a different area for a League game. Which with his need for routine and sensitivity to noise would be a major problem...

    Crowd for Wendies ?

    My 7 year old son is autistic. I'd love to take him when he's ready but it's things like this that would be an absolute nightmare. I completely understand why you wouldn't be able to go if his specific seat wasn't available. I think the club needs to catch up on accessibility compared to clubs...

    Crawley v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 10.08.24

    Think Critchley's nickname should be "like for like". It's frustrating he has no in game ability to change our approach or formation if things aren't going our way. It was obvious that Apter for example, was having to play a role that he wasn't used to last season and couldn't be as direct...

    (Julian) Winter is coming

    In the interviews I've seen today he comes across as an aloof, smarmy guy who isn't great at communication and doesn't look happy in his role.

    2024/25 SEASON TICKETS!

    Season ticket prices aren't bad but the match day ticket prices are on the very high side, £31 for category 2 games (which with booking fee is more like £33 online)!!!

    More Pool fans blocked by the club on Twitter/X

    Agree, but in the last place I worked I'd often ask the marketing team why they didn't block people for ridiculous comments and they said that while it was very tempting it doesn't look good and can damage brand reputation. A lot of these social media comments are pathetic and stupid but at the...

    More Pool fans blocked by the club on Twitter/X

    I don't really understand how they can block someone who ends a tweet with "bad dickhead", it's hardly the height of intellectual conversation. Without spelling the obvious, surely it's one where you take it on the chin, take the higher ground and ignore, especially if you are a big business...

    Reality has kicked in

    I think there’s a stark reality that it’s all a bit plodding, slow and lacking aggression and pace. We can’t really play 5-3-2 or 4-4-2.

    Reality has kicked in

    So I’ll start this by saying I’ve met Simon and had an hour zoom conversation with him in my previous role. He was always very pleasant and really helpful and I could tell he was a genuine Blackpool fan. This is a far cry from the previous lot! We last spoke when we were in the playoffs against...

    New Game: Where's Jerry?

    One of Nixon's pals? 😂

    Gambling firm 'Leo Vegas' sponsoring the new shirt...

    When designing a simple shirt, there is a fine line between doing something minimal and classy and something which is uninspired and bland. This is firmly the latter with some of the finishing touches looking awful. The hideous betting company heightens the mediocrity, it looks like an off the...

    Tangerine Shirts - 1923-2023 - 100 year anniversary in August.

    If we don't go with black then it won't be authentic to the original 1923 kit and will be just like every kit we've worn since the late 1930s!
