NEW BLOG: Blackpool v Bolton Wanderers - The Blackpool Way

Mascot wars, Christmas spirit, origami, lucky omens (or lack of them) - and how the football is beginning to take its toll on my mental health.

Blackpool v Bolton Wanderers: The Blackpool Way

Right then. A big derby match tonight at home to strugglers Bolton. Surely THIS one was winnable, right…? I caught the train from Manchester Piccadilly towards Blackpool North. This train pas…

"I was absolutely livid, screaming with frustration, tears of anger pricking my eyes"

We know we heard you on Lee's video!! Enjoy the win Jane as much as we enjoy your reports x

Must say I did every game one season and it does wear you down. Nowadays restrict myself to half a dozen away games and don't mind skipping a few home games (got a season ticket) - makes you appreciate it a bit more and doesn't become an all consuming pastime.

I literally kicked the seat behind me and very nearly went home but to be honest, like Lee, it was all forgotten two minutes later. I think I'm a shallow soul and tbf, I haven't suffered as many away games in this run.

I really enjoyed that blog. I always enjoy them but art is pain and all that and I thought it was particularly vivid writing...

Hope it was cathartic!

This is Blackpool, Jane. We always have crap officials who hate us. We always have a roller-coaster ride, both in the game and in our emotions. It's our fate because of where we live. Damn that Pleasure Beach!

We've had a lot of ups and downs over the years. Now, we're on the up again. Put your long-term glasses on and look to the future - it's only just begun. (A great poet said that.)

The Blackpool way!

So that'll be getting frustrated watching 98% of Blackpool matches getting put through the ringer.
Being angry that we've dominated matches and come away with nothing or , like last night, almost snatch a draw from the jaws of victory to eventually getting a last minute winner, the conversion on the way home being how did we make such hard work of that.

Can't we find a different way.

No they’re having a terrible season. They sacked their manager the other week and replaced him straight away. Just had their first home win since August!
