[Blackpool_Rox]

Can you imagine if this was even suggested these days ?

There would be heart attacks, panic attacks, anxiety attacks and worse.

What does this headline of 44 years ago say to the modern age ?

Lancashire nostalgia in 1987: Preston and Blackpool possible ground share; black museum and Blackpool 'capital' claim

Here's a look at some of the stories that were making the headlines back in 1987:

Terrible times for BFC. Thank goodness a lifelong fan rescued the club the very next year

Shudder at the thought.

I was only thinking of this possibility a few days ago.Of the club,unlikely I know but ever selling the land at Bloomfield Rd and moving elsewhere then where the club could possibly ground share and there is nothing suitable in the area.

Can you imagine trecking to Dumpdale for every home game?
Less than 10,000 per home game I would think.

I think people would be queuing up on all three piers to throw themselves into the Irish Sea.

Makes you wonder what would have happened to BFC if he hadn't.

Wasnt a supermarket chain interested in buying Bloomfield Rd and we were going to move in with the rugby club during this period?.

With hindsight do you get the feeling that maybe it was a placed article (like the majority of local "news") by a certain multi-millionaire in his attempts to buy up and sell on the land.

Good job Owain, a lifelong Blackpool fan, dont you know? Saved us from extinction!! He had a lot of pull in those days and would have used that con story to leverage the board with his offer only a year later.

Yep, pretty much, along with the supermarket story.

What a cnut.
