Negan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don't fancy our chances against Fulham but you'd expect Blackpool to beat Hartlepool so you're probably right. Shame really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I reckon City "owe" Blackpool big time. That stoppage time equaliser in August (IMO) psychologically affected the team and fans who thought they had a win to start the season. After that we went into games expecting to concede at the end.

To be honest, they can have Rhyl to themselves, because I don’t think anyone else wants it. A lot of the time it’s like a wet winter midweek in Stoke, so I guess they feel at home! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 With Sky not having the FA cup rights, I can quite easily see this being on TV now.

Oh Louie louie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 That scottish bar in the sidestreets near bloomfield. If you put ten p in the bucket, you were allowed to smoke indoors. He had two fine issues from the council from behind the bar. The bucket went towards the next fine he said, That was when brooker scored in the last minute. That was the wettest weekend in blackpool, in a august since records began. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 First time i went there for the weekend, was about 94. The area near the station was very diffrent then.

Yes its a nice place to live, granted WsM High St is struggling just like every High St in the country but shops is not really my thing, like I said before good food, good beer, walks, cycle ways fresh air, beautiful scenery with woods, beach, parks there is plenty, good rail and road connections, all on a level, so it is hard to beat. Sad to see opinions like this as not true at all but if the comments are based on shops and that's your thing then agree it needs a boost but so do most towns and cities. Would be surprised we have shoppers on here... anyway each to its own, I'm now on the seafront after a walk and about to go for a breakfast, so it puzzles me how many can knock that life. Wsm is far more then the Street with the amusements and the brummie in the summertime.. haha 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 My lad was mascot when we lost at Bloomfield when we had a chance of playoffs and got hammered 4~0 , thinks Danny Wilson was manager . I thought Blackpool was a bit tacky and rundown but nice enough . Benidorm only has the weather going for it . Brean and Sand Bay was our holiday destination as a kid and last night was always into Wesson for fish n chip and the pier . Weston gets a bad name sometimes but not from me , lots of rehab and recovery . Houses seems quite cheap not sure this is due to the treatment centres in and around Weston.
