BLACKPOOL’S FINE START TO THE NEW YEAR
Blackpool had a happy new year's day at Villa Park. The storming football the forwards played on a mud coated pitch was a revelation.

THERE is a request from Spion Kop in the mail this week. The Kop customers are asking for a loud-speaker to be installed over the centre of the slopes which they inhabit. Complaint is that at the present time they hear few of the announcements broadcast over the relay system.

I think the Supporters Club, who paid for the installation and have recently had it serviced and renovated, will do something about it.

Always obliging the Supporters Club. The Press asked that the loud-speaker over their new box should be put out of commission during the match-play hours when it made telephoning nearly impossible.

They asked one week - it was silent the next.
