Interesting seeing the racism sign.
 
Anyone notice the Snack Bar the back of the Scratching Shed, halfway along, its clearly not the one in the corner near the South . That definitely wasn't there in the mid 70s when I started going .

It was definitely there in 1975 because my mum ran it & was in there, bending down, when Mickey Walsh scored the goal of the season vs Sunderland 🙄
 
Blackpool V Everton Sept 19th 1970 at Bloomfield Att. 30,705
That was my first Pool game ever! I was 7 years old and my Dad took me because Everton were his team (he was Liverpool born and bred and you were either blue or red). Can't remember the score though...
 
Blackpoolv Everton sept 1970 score was 2-0 to Everton ,think Alan Ball scored in that game ,for Everton obviously,sat in the south stand that day kop was all Evertonians.

Everton goalscorers were John Morrisey and Jimmy Husband. Ground was so packed people were sitting on the touchlines. Massive cheer from Pool fans when Tony Green came on as sub in his first lg appearance after a year out from injury.
 
I had to post this. Not football but there are two types of person: Those that remember Derby Baths and those that don't! I never got to the top board but still get angry that we demolished this beautiful building

spent half my childhood in there, can still smell it, and wire baskets for your clothes taken by attendants (that would be a novelty now), top board glory as they blew the whistle to clear the diving area guaranteeing the full attention of pool and poolside, bought my first pack of cigs out of the machine in cafe . Season ticket every birthday, clearly parent/s glad to get rid of us. Every pool since has been an anti-climax. It was a crime to demolish an art deco building like that , to build a bland featureless and soulless'hotel'.
 
Super photo. When I was a kid I got talking to an old guy at a match and I asked him how long he'd supported Blackpool he replied that he'd been coming long enough to remember when the ground was painted in blue and white. Great to see a pic of us playing at home in this kit.
my grandad might have been playing in that game (for Preston :))
 
Here's one from 1933 at home to Preston, we're in the striped shirts and white shorts, there were 28,771 there that day and Jimmy Hampson scored our goal (was this picture his goal?).

My wife's Mum died a few years ago aged 98. When she found out I was Blackpool fan, she told me they used to play in black and white stripes! She'd seen photographs like this in the Gazette, but had never seen them live.

"And for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink ball is next to the green." 😄
