How to sum up the Seasiders’ frustrating season to date? As one diehard fan put it to me the other evening: “Too much coaster and not enough roller!” It’s an over-worked metaphor, but it does seem particularly fitting when we veer between excellent performances and woeful ones almost on a...

What a fantastic night at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday as the Seasiders won their quarter-final EFL Trophy match on penalties against current cup holders Bolton Wanderers. We will know who we get to face in the semi-finals later today (out of Bradford, Peterborough and Wycombe). We’re one game...

Happy New Year, Seasiders. Let’s hope it’s a good one for Blackpool FC. After the bitter disappointment of relegation in 2023, a top six finish and a chance to get back to the Championship via the play-offs has to be the aim this year. We’ve become a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde outfit lately, with...

Silverware for Blackpool FC arrived in the shape of the Central League Cup on Tuesday night, appropriately on the 70th anniversary of that most famous FA Cup victory at Wembley. Well done to the youngsters of the development squad, to their coach Neal Eardley (and of course to Stephen Dobbie...

This from my opposite number: We now operate as a cashless stadium Parking near to the ground is extremely limited, and roads next to the stadium are closed on matchdays. As only pre-booked official supporter coaches can access Oak Road (the away fans end), we recommend that fans park near the...

Supporting Blackpool FC is often likened to being on our famous roller-coaster. We experience a progression of highs and lows (and last week-end was certainly a low point), but we rise again and always embrace the ride with passionate commitment, so let’s put any negativity aside and focus on...

I’ve had a number of reports after the last couple of home games of a few fans giving a really hard time to the guys and gals serving at the concourse bars. I know we all get frustrated when things aren’t going too well at the Club, but it seems that frustration is occasionally spilling over...

Just a reminder that the NE corner bar/fanzone will not be open to Blackpool fans tonight. It has to be made available to Boro fans in the north half of the East stand. Also, the prom will be closed to traffic between north and central piers. Plan accordingly if it might impact you. UTMP!

Women supporters groups have been formed in the last couple of years at a number of football league clubs. Just to be clear, I’m talking about supporters of the men’s team, not a club’s women’s team (where that exists). It’s an interesting phenomenon and I touched on it in this column a couple...

There's always a huge amount of litter left in the stands after games (bottles, wrappers, pie trays etc). Some of it attracts pigeons and seagulls. Volunteers come in on the following days to sweep and bag it all up and clean the seats. Please help make that job easier. From tomorrow stewards...

BFC Volunteers are looking for extra hands. It's going to be a busy couple of weeks with home games this Saturday and next Wednesday, plus the Open Day on 29th August in between. If you can spare a few hours of a morning to help clear up and prep the stadium please email...

Burnley ticket office advised me "Tickets were sent last thing today, so should be with you tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest."

Wasn’t that a great way to end July! Blackpool back again in early Championship action at Bloomfield Road on Saturday, with a classy new kit, a new (OK, returning) manager and three useful points in the bag. And then on Sunday, England’s women winning this country’s first major football trophy...
