Born and grew up in FY3, lived in FY5, FY8, 85021 (US zip code), PO15 & currently PR2 but moving to PR5 soonI'd love to see a postcode distribution of ST's and general matchday sales. I bet only 40% are FY1-4.

But always used to have my address registered with the club as FY5 (my late parents' address) to avoid any accusations of NobberyBorn and grew up in FY3, lived in FY5, FY8, 85021 (US zip code), PO15 & currently PR2 but moving to PR5 soon
That’s a surprise I thought you’d have come from Cloud Cuckoo Land.Born in Lytham hospital. Dad from Cleckhuddersfax and mum from Royston Vasey.
Born in St. Anne's. (War memorial hospital). Dad born in Bury . Mum born in Kirkham.Apparently, 70% of Blackpool folk are from elsewhere, but we all support the community club.
I'll start.
Dad born in Burma as his dad was an RSM stationed in Rangoon.
His dad born in Darlington, but the family lived in Pontefract, so my dad originated from Pontefract.
His mum born in Cork, south coast of Ireland. Died tragically falling on spikes whilst pregnant. Baby died too. My dad was 8.
Mum born in Airdrie. Her entire family from Airdrie, but spread nowadays to Coventry and all over Britain plus Canada and USA.
I was born in Yorkshire.
I am 100% Blackpool through and through. I don't know anyone with 4 grand parents from Blackpool.
Anyone on here with 4 Blackpool born grandparents?

My Dad's mum's family all come from Stalmine, named Howarth.I was born at Glen Royd hospital Blackpool, my Dad was born in Preesall as was my Mum. My Dads parents were both born in Stalmine, my Mums Dad was born in Preesall and her Mum was born in Stockport. I can trace one side of the family tree to the English Civil war and they were living near Garstang.

You spelt Heywood wrong.Me, Blackpool
Mum, Blackpool
Dad, Haywood, Manchester
1 Grandfather, Esbjerg, Denmark
1 Grandmother, Cork, Ireland
1 Grandfather from Blackpool
1 Grandmother from Haywood, Manchester
2 sets of great grandparents from Manchester area
1 set from Denmark
1 great Grandfather from Ireland
1 Great Grandmother from Aberdeen.
But you are a true Sandgrownun…..like me…and that fact will never changeMy great great great grandfather was a Scandinavian fisherman shipwrecked of the coast of Southport and never returned home. From that the family ended up in Fleetwood and my Father was born at 46 Park ave Fleetwood.
My mother her sister and 2 brothers where the first generation of that side of the family to be born outside of Belfast. They were all born in Blackpool.
I was born in the Vic and grew up on Nansen Road Fleetwood. Was a Ball boy at Fleetwood 85/86/87 before I turned Tangerine. My dad who passed away end of March this year has always been a Fleetwood fan so always had plenty of banter with him over football.
I did a dna test and I have 0% English in me which is amazing as I would expect to of had some but I don’t.
I class myself as white British but my dna says otherwise.

I know because I was born in Heywood. My parents, grandparents and great grandparents were all born in Heywood and lived there all their lives. I have a brother and sister who still live there. I came to Blackpool aged 20 to work on the pleasure beach and never left, Blackpool that is, not the pleasure beach. That was 62 years ago, so I am almost a local now.You spelt Heywood wrong.
….but you still keep the faith as we all do….once a Seasider always a Seasider.Dad was in RAF born in France lived everywhere as a kid moved to Blackpool at 9
First game at 10 Armfield Ball Charnley etc
Mum was from Cardenden Scotland (Tommy Hutch's birthplace)
Grandparents 2 from Horwich 1 from Arbroath and 1 from Co. Cavan Ireland via Dundee
