Fleetwood have nicked all our songs

embarrassed for them!

3246 with 1200 from Wigan,?

never 2000 Fleetwood there IMO. Unless they were all hid in Jims bar.
 
Fair play to the lad for his videos.

Couple of things.

At the final whistle, it sounds like there were a few chanting "Grayson Out"

Also, why on earth do some fans chant so fast. Surprised they can breath its so quick.

The stated away support was 1,200. However, given that the capacity of the away end (the Percy Ronson Stand) is 1,200 which was full, and Wigan also packed out the far end of the main stand, it was clearly at least 1,500-1,600 if not more.
 
Fleetwood haven't stolen songs from us.

Theyve stolen songs from Southampton, Liverpool, Crystal Palace amongst others.

Everywhere we go is a generic wanky song sung by 70% of EFL clubs.

Whoever gets battered is another generic song sang by a similar percentage.

None of the songs are Blackpool songs
 
What the video didn't show was the Fleetwood drummer fell off his stand in the middle of the game and fractured his ankle. A night when nothing went right for them.
Their crowds are really dropping. Morecambe got more than them last night and they were playing Cambridge so even without a big away support.
Fleetwood can't defend and that spells relegation. Tom Clarke in the middle of it all 😋
I wonder, do the nobbers still sing about him putting the ball in the Blackpool net in a League cup 2 nd round tie? Think we've knocked that one out of them haven't we? 🤔😁
 
The fans who defected over to Fleetwood are probably crawling back to Bloomfield Road or going back to supporting United and Liverpool after realising they’re shite.

Lets stick to 'come on you pool'.
 
It will be interesting to see how long Grayson survives if wins are hard to come by.
Remember that Pilley had no hesitation in sacking good Managers once on a poor run.
 
Fleetwood being one of our traditional catchment areas, you look at that end full of young lads and it makes you wonder if the boycott years have lost that age group forever. Fleetwood being on the up whilst we were boycotting allowed them to recoup their homegrown fan base (can't blame 'em for doing so).

Whilst we're back on the up now, and it looks like Fleetwood on the way down we'll claim our old catchment area back. I can't see many in that video after seeing Blackpool as a derby for so long come back to us, they'd probably either stay no matter how far the fall or support a top 6 club.

Fleetwood could be a decent National League side that flirts with League Two every now and again (a non-league West Brom), they've built an infrastructure for it. The fact they nearly got promoted to the Championship twice is mind blowing for a club their size.

There were plenty of that age group at Sheffield last Saturday.

Not denying we have supporters that age group, I just meant specifically from Fleetwood considering its traditionally been a catchment area for us. It's certainly not a pressing issue but just something I wondered when watching: "how many of them would have been Blackpool fans"
 
My eldest daughter goes to school in Fleetwood. She said some woman came bounding into assembly from FTFC and said "Morning guys so how many Fleetwood fans have we got here" and about half a dozen hands went up. She then said "Oh so how many Blackpool fans have we got here" and half the rooms hands went up. This was last week.

Strange fixture this.
Somewhere if I can locate my old programme collection I've got
Fleetwood vs Wigan 1974 or 75 Northern Premier League. Then came Whelan & Pilley.

As a pedant, they'd got quite a long way before whelen came along. He bought them when they'd been in the league for 20-ish years and they had a real peak in the mid/late 80s as the 'next big thing' under irc Larry Lloyd. They were riding high in div 3 and I think got to FA Cup qf. I remember them being cited as the 'next Wimbledon' cos obvs they'd raced through the leagues around then.

Then it went to shit and things dwindled away. They were really shit for about 3 or 4 years. No ambition, just pot luck signings of randoms and old blokes. I can't remember the chairman but they had Bryan Hamilton, Kenny Swain as managers and the locals were very grumpy. Whelen bought them about 97 irc and obviously, the rest was history.

Sorry, that incredibly pedantic of me!

That was meant tongue in cheek, and was a dig at someone I know who hates 'come on you pool' as he believes it's a 'mushroom' song.

Eh? It's been a thing for years and years and years.

As in 'come on youuuuu pooooooooool (oooool)'

That's been a thing as long as I can remember, so early 90s at least.

The more jaunty 'come on the pool, come on the pool etc' is newer I think. Don't remember that from ye olde times. It's still a lot older that the boycott tho.

I would put in a cheeky bid in for James Hill in the January window he looks a decent prospect who could step up to the Championship.
 
I don't mind knappers. I think he's knowledgeable and quite self effacing. There are much worse vloggers in the sea.

Blogging is where it's at lol.

It is, but during the boycott the only songs sung seem to be ‘come on you pool’ and ‘sea sea seasiders ’.

Isn't come on the pool taken from the Baddiel & Skinner football show? So a mid 90's chant I think

Could be. In my head I relate it to the new ground but I could be very wrong. I just don't remember singing it in the south paddock. Maybe we did.
