    Friday Joke

    VIAGRA A woman asks her husband at breakfast time, "Would you like some bacon and eggs, a slice of toast, and maybe some grapefruit juice and coffee?" He declines. "Thanks for asking, but I'm not hungry right now. It's this Viagra," he says. "It's really taken the edge off my appetite." At...

    Appearances

    How do official “Appearances” work? Is it if a player starts a match? So much time on the pitch? Can a substitute in extra time claim to be an appearance? If in a players contract, does appearance money still apply to minutes on the pitch? I can understand that this system could be abused by...

    Blackpool Players - Late starters

    How many players have we had who have been late starting out in life as a professional footballer? Andy Morrell certainly comes to mind. He was 23/24 before joining Wrexham, his first league club.

    Simon Sadler Chant at Blackburn

    Made me very proud that “Simon Sadler, he’s one of our own” was sung at Blackburn. Must have rubbed t’Rovers fans up the wrong way although they seem to suffer in silence. How many of the 92 clubs have an owner who is home grown? Can’t be many but the lower you go through the divisions there...

    How about a Lancaster Blonde Experience!

    Can’t be doing with all this imported gassy lager rubbish. May as well be at Wembley where there is nothing but! Why don’t we have a Lancaster Blonde* Experience. Glasses but not plastic though. Would willingly pay a tenner for that. * other bitters available! Support local breweries...

    Barnett Under 7’s Away

    Currently one of those “fillers” between programmes on BBC1. Shows kids playing football and the caption is “Barnett under 7’s Football Team” Just for the record, I can’t see any Blackpool fans there!

    Top of the table match with Brackley Town. 4 of us going. My first match there since the Ormerod Testimonial. Anyone else going on this otherwise boring International weekend which I can’t stand!

    All credit to Martin Booker

    If it moves or stands still, Martin Booker seems to be able to get it sponsored - from the Extra Time Board to the West Stand. It helps with having a stable club with everyone singing from the same hymn sheet but all credit to Martin who has brought many new sponsors into the club, some we’ve...

    Our Average League Position

    I don’t know whether anyone has ever looked at our average league position since we joined the football league in 1896 but to satisfy my own curiosity I’ve just gone through 115 years of tables and put league positions on a spreadsheet. I’ve put PNE as well to compare. It would of course be 125...

    Free tickets for schoolchildren

    I wonder if giving free tickets to schoolchildren has been a success in so far they have grown up to be fully fledged supporters. We are talking about kids without a close relation already being a fan. Certainly we are looking at the Oyston era as the Sadler era has not had time to kick in yet...
