    Brighton - Absolutely incredible.

    The extract below from sporting news gives a bit more of a view on Bloom's huge contribution. I met him a couple of times many years ago and before he bought Brighton. He was always a massive fan as was his family and even though at the time they had no ground he was confident that if he ever...

    Anyone else on here been to away games by transit van?

    Ha, yes 53 I was on that Swindon trip. It was I think organised via the Castle Gardens pub. We actually got there at half time and a bald headed guy in an old leather jacket (me) managed to persuade police/stewards to let us in through a turnstile which meant we had to walk through the away end...

    A sliver of positivity

    I agree with the optimism. For whatever reason we have a plague of message writers (I won't call them fans) who like to put a negative slant on anything and everything to do with our club. I suspect there is an element who are a mixture of non Blackpool fans, people very sad and bitter about...

    Manchester Airport is a shambles

    I spent many years of my working life employed by US financial institutions and as such travelled every week to different cities around the world. Some major hubs and some minor and some supposedly third world. Without doubt returning or leaving from Manchester airport was almost always the...

    Steve Thompson

    Why would we want him back? He has been at Preston for many years, which is a negative. During his team there he was support/influence to a good number of managers/coaches at a club which had plenty of money and decent facilities thrown at it by the owner, but as we happily know well they had...

    Club Wembley on sale for £299

    Just bought two. I would reccomend doing it early to ensure that Sunderland or Lincoln don't get too many. The more Blackpool we have in their the better.

    Do you think they are still ringing people ?

    I suspect that there are some admin problems. I watched On iFollow every single game home and away, plus the cup games, but have heard nothing. I have two people I go to games with who for various reasons missed a couple of matches and yet they have had the call.

    I offended the mrs

    I agree. Some people don't get it. If you support Blackpool you do not go anywhere near someone who supports that club. I have gone my whole life avoiding the place except when supporting the mighty, and never employing people from the town. How you can make a joke of actualy marrying some one...

    So who remembers this ...

    Yes I was there. Had a bad day all round as the car had broken down in Oxford town centre earlier where we had gone for a bit of refreshment. It was around the period when we were about 10 points clear of third place and so Allerdyce decided we would no longer attack and we played for the rest...

    Are we capable of winning 7-8 of our remaining 14 games?

    The squad is more than capable. It is whether the head coach and his team are able to step up to the plate. To do so Critchley will have to pick the best available players on a consistant rather than random basis, that we will not try to be clever but will propose a simple but flexible strategy...

    0898 12 16 48

    I used to also ring that club line all the time. Often it had not been updated since the lastime I called it.

    Your Ollie stories

    Ollie, undoubtedly gave us some of the best football and memories most of us will ever have. For a good while he was my hero. However as someone has said higher up this thread, best not to meet your hero. We had just won a night game with a late winner when not playing well and I was in...

    Who wanted to buy BFC and which were serious offers?

    Also a Receiver has a duty of care to not only the creditors but the debtor as well. When you have someone as litigeous as Oyston watching your every move the Receiver has to make sure he is fully transparent and makes every reasonable effort to obtain the best price. It was something I was...

    Ben Woodburn

    It speaks volumes that Liverpool have sent none of their youngsters our way. I think we all hoped that one or two of their best under 21's would end up being improved whilst playing for us under Critchley's coaching at Blackpool. Perhaps Liverpool are not unhappy that Critchley moved on.

    Nuttall gone

    I think most on here have nailed it pretty much on the head in that it his attitude which was just not right. I met him a couple of times when he first joined us and he did not seem interested and appeared to believe he was too good for the division and was almost at the club under sufference...

    Harry Maguire Interview

    A few years ago I had problems with the Greek police whilst on holiday there. I was in dispute with a local company who hired out bikes. They were just crooks really conning hoiliday makers. They conned me, and I went to see them (the hire company) to dicuss it. I got threatened and it got...

    Jake Caprice

    We are for probably the first time ever seen as a club with a bit of money and who is willing to spend it on the club rather than the owners. It also appears that we will now deal through agents. Every agent worth his salt is therefore going to try and boost their clients value by saying that we...

    Hotel

    Likewise, I have had e-mails from Premier Inn, Travel lodge, a place in St Annes we use when down watching the mighty and a hotel on the South Coast we use a lot. I am pretty sure the Prem Inn e-mail was a good while ago.
