    Collins...Barnsley gaffer

    Just watched the extended highlights on TT. Both benches doing the usual handshakes etc at the final whistle. NC goes towards Collins to shake hands, moody sod blanks him & walks on to the pitch. Critchley's face is a picture, all very how bloody dare you 🤣

    Saturday night

    Whilst most of us were trudging back to coaches, cars & trains no doubt NC had his evening planned in Warrington/Crewe. 8.37pm precisely cab to local Indian. Mildest Korma, plain nan & rice. 5 starters served as far back of the restaurant as possible, nothing in the middle serving. Only pressure...

    Fylde Coast pubs/clubs gone

    Share memories of local pubs/clubs gone or completely gutted. I'll start with the Little Vic. Went with a school mate 1978, we were either 15 or 16. I was reasonably tall with bum fluff & immediately got served a pint of mixed. The barman wouldn't serve my mate so I kindly got junior a soft...

    Inferior products with baffling longevity.

    Firstly I offer bic razor's. I mistakenly bought some recently forgetting what self harming little nasties they are. Face with random bits of tissue post shave, not a good look. Saw an NCP (Northern Citrus Product) van the other day. Got flashbacks from junior school in the 70's when cartons of...

    Dentist recommendations

    I was previously with Oasis dental care however the NHS dentist left & was never replaced. I've since tried Synergy on Central Drive who lead you in with an initial £20 check up before the eye watering charges begin. I bracket private dentists alongside vets & solicitors as robbing bastards. Any...

    AVFTT settings

    For a few days I've not been able to log onto avftt using my home WiFi (three). No problems connecting elsewhere. Switch off WiFi & use mobile data AOK. Any ideas chaps?

    I'll just google that.

    Our shih tzu has recently had a change of groomer & the net result is one of his ears seems to lie across his bonce. We were laughing at this this morning & I said he looks like Ralph Coates. "Who" from wife & lad so googled. Wiki gave some great images of that comb over as often he'd be in the...

    TC

    Terry Conman or Totally Crap? Got annoyed everytime the cameras panned in on MM & TC yesterday. Deep discussion on what? "We're not very good at this mate are we". Came with good coaching credentials apparently but surely he's as culperable in how the teams gone backwards. I would imagine...

    Is tomorrow our biggest game since Lincoln at Wembley?

    We win & everyone is buzzing again. Anything else where on earth are the points coming from 🤷‍♂️.

    So where do our current players live?

    In the not to distant past Charlie was a resident of Hardhorn, used to see Alex Baptiste around the posh street in Cleveleys & once delivered a parcel to Stephen Crainey in Lytham. But what about the current squad? Vaguely remember a mention on here that 2 or 3 players shared a gaff in...

    Daily bugbear

    Mine, pelican crossings. Much needed I know because the number of cars on the roads is ever increasing but.... Why can't pedestrians just raise their heads for a second to assess if they can simply cross the road unaided within the next few seconds. Really pisses me off when the button is pushed...

    Wizzard vs 20togo fight fight fight

    Frazier vs Ali had 3 momentous battles, Wiz vs 20's never seem to end. Who takes your vote as the champ?

    Any way of turning off or at least lessening them? Mainly use my android phone & they have taken over this site.

    Brooklyn's

    The Layton post got me thinking about playing kids football in the 70's (RAOB & Highcross) but I would think a high percentage of kids across Blackpool would have been involved with Brooklyn (Corinthians) at sometime. Anyone could just turn up & get a game. Collingwood Ave pitches & Lawsons Rd...

    Nobbers vs Blackbum

    Nowt on TV & contemplated watching this. 44 broken legs, 22 sendings off in no particular order. Ground burning down. Too much to ask for? No impartialiately, hate both, so won't bother

    Have you ever had a suit hand made?

    I had one made for my 18th. Encouraged after watching Quadrophenia and the following mod revival. My dad recommended Nat Dunsby who he'd used years/decades earlier. Went up the stairs on church street & it was like going back in time. Old fashioned tailoring equipment & then a little Jewish...

    Messageboard adverts

    I've got several ad block type apps installed on my galaxy phone but none seem to have the desired effect of obliterating all the ads which spoil this site. Any help/advice welcomed.

    Holiday acquaintances from hell

    Probably most of us have done it, after a few drinks "they seem nice, we'll meet you tomorrow". Two spring to mind, both in Greece firstly a bloke from Preston, never spoken to one of those before, only wanted to speak about two topics...PNE & his job with rentokil. Both revolting subjects...

    Slowest Blackpool player?

    A bit of rain & I noticed a snail in our garden. Immediately thought of Mike Walsh (ex Bolton left back) before us. I honestly couldn't ever tell the difference between him supposedly running or stood still. Must have had good positional sense. Think he actually invented walking football.
