    In the event that...

    ... an unthinkable, improbable, unlikely sequence of results find us one tie away from our second home, would the NC doubters relent and support his continued tenure of role of head coach? After all, two playoff appearances and one consolidatory Championship season in three campaigns (admittedly...

    SPL

    Realise there are countless references to former Blackpool players, but wanted to ask whether Kyle Vassell's Kilmarnock effectively ended the SPL title race by beating Lundstram and the blue half of Glasgow on the opening day?

    Rollercoaster

    The ups and downs of our club's fortunes eh? There can't be any other which leaves supporters euphoric one season, then despondent the next (few). The major disappointment for me is that all the hard work to lay the foundations off-the-field and resultant success thereon took so much longer...

    The King

    was born 78 years ago today Thought Mr. Suddick deserves a mention now we're back playing in the second tier, where I was honoured to watch him play for the majority of his time with us. Happy Birthday, Sir. RIP x

    Perspective

    I'm as disappointed as the next fan as to how the season's winding down for us, but if I'd have been advised, after we played them at home in November, that we'd lose 2-1 away to a 93rd. minute winner at the Hawthorns, we'd already be safe, NC hadn't been poached and no other local side had...

    Would you rather......

    have beaten Forest, then win at Rovers, but lose tomorrow, thus amassing 6 points over three games, or beat the nobbers, but get nothing from two games against teams vying for playoff contention? We've done both Lancashire clubs at home, so have nothing to fear when it comes to local bragging...

    It's not the message,

    nor the guy who's delivering it, but the second sentence which f***ing annoys me https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60113865

    Good luck

    To Ben, Neil, the Board and all scouting/coaching staff in a week which could determine our immediate future. What do we need? For me:- 1) Right back/wing back 2) Creative central midfielder 3) Big, imposing, nasty, physical, wily, cocky defensive midfielder to break up opposing possession and...

    FA Cup

    Just perusing tonight's fixtures. Some wonderfully quaint and imaginative club names cropping up. How athletic is Newham? Will Virginia Water break under pressure? Realise Godmanchester and Penistone are Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire towns, but local and opposing fans could have some interesting...

    MOTM

    Apologies if this has already been discussed, but rather pleased NC wasn't nominated for March MOTM. See Steve Evans made the short-list. Don't know who won

    Little concerned

    that Northern Ireland have three games in the next week. Obviously delighted and proud that Daniel Ballard has been selected to represent his country and would love to see him face the Italians, but selfishly, with our current injury crisis, don't want him to suffer the same fate as our other...
