Duff will take over at Palace from Roy Hodgson in the summer on a 3 year contract. I wonder where we would be now if we had appointed Duff or Rosenior back in June 2022 instead of Appleton both have done well at Hull and Barnsley and I won’t even mention Rob Edwards at Luton.

Mick will have had 2 weeks to prepare for the Preston game, I have heard no news from the training ground last week, has everybody been given a week off? I also expected to hear of at least one behind closed doors friendly match last week so that the likes of Gabriel, Keshi and Ekpiteta could...

Blackpool’s defensive improvement and winning run coincided with Colin Calderwood’s appointment as Assistant Manager/Defensive Coach at the end of October 2020. On paper Calderwood appears to have made a significant contribution to Pool’s promotion to the Championship but I never see him...

This was my first season as a 1st time BFC Season Ticket Holder sitting in the old South Stand. I attended all the home games and nearly all of the away games. Over the last few months and continuing now during lockdown I am trying to source copies of all the BFC home game programmes from the...
