OLD PICTURES OF BLACKPOOL FC

It's a Jethro Tull song, written by Ian Anderson who was a genuine sand grown 'un. It was on their seminal album 'Living In The Past' released in 1971.

Ian Anderson isn't a sand grown 'un at all. He was born in Dunfermline, moved to Edinburgh as child and didn't move to Blackpool until he was 11 years old.

'Up The Pool' was originally released on the 'Life Is A Long Song' EP in 1971.
 
Thank you. It was on Living In The Past, although I'll accept it was originally released on an EP. BTW, where've you been since July?

I was in the dodgy plumbers stand that day.
A knobber supporter I worked with at the time got me a ticket.
As we walked to the ground he said I don't want you getting up and walking out after we've scored our 3rd.
Fast forward to Wes' pen as he turned to me in frustration and yelled fcuk off😂 I just sat there with my hood up laughing my arse off.
Even went to the black bull for a beer with him and his mates whilst I waited for Mrs Wizz to pick me up.
Never offered to get me a ticket for any other matches after that😉😂
 
Can any of you older gits than me place this location in 1970 vs Dirty Leeds?

I'd think post-WW2. We played in tangerine , briefly, in the 20s but not again until after the War. Also, I don't think the kop was enlarged to its full size until after the war. I'm happy to be wrong, of course.

Could be right there. i was looking at old kits from the 1930's to the 40's the original picture the players kits were just black and white. Blackpool did play in a stripy top in them days so could be them in black and white happy to be corrected.

It looks good enhanced but as already said Pool are in the stripes and I'm sure the opponents wouldn't be in Tangerine. The original was on here quite a while back and as pointed out the missing arc on the penalty area and the kit, as worn by Jimmy Hampson was the two shades of blue stripes dates it to circa 1935.

Thanks for clearing that up. i wasn't sure of the kits i did try to research them in the 1930's.
