Thank God that’s over. A season that started with hope and a genuine belief that we would grab an automatic promotion place, finished with the the team limping over the line and only securing their safety with one game to go. It’s fair to say that nobody will be sad to see the back of [...]

As I write, it’s friday night. The calm before the storm. Tomorrow Blackpool head to Nottingham, and by 5:00pm will have just five games to go. I reach for my wallet and pull out a small, laminated piece of paper. Something that every football addict is sad enough to carry with them at all times. [...]

After five games, Paul Ince has finally managed to pick up three points. The win definitely came right on time too, with fans starting to lose faith and turn against the new manager. With ‘Pool now sitting in 13th place – higher than when Ince took over – and with any fears of relegation slowly [...]

Another new manager was introduced to the increasingly frustrated Blackpool fans on Saturday, but nothing happened to lift the gloom around Bloomfield Road. Paul Ince took charge of his team for the second time against Leicester, having experience a loss in his first match against Leeds the previous Tuesday. After waiting nearly two months to [...]

It always sounds like a sorry excuse, and it is really, but it wouldn’t be totally untrue to say that Blackpool have been down on their luck recently. There have been a hatful of games (most notably at home to Wolves) where The Seasiders have done everything they can, but still come up short. Countless [...]

The opening 20-30 minutes against Barnsley were dominated by the real Blackpool. Up-and-at-em, gun-ho football, played with quality and desire. Chance after chance was created and spurned, and it looked as though we might see back to back wins to end our recent slump. But then it stopped, and when Barnsley scored from us having [...]

Sometimes three points can make everything ok? Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those times, but the weekend’s victory against Wolves has made everything feel a little bit better. Losing two managers in just a few months, coupled with a big dip in form, has started to leave the Blackpool manager’s job looking a little less [...]

This season has been interesting to say the least. Currently on the lookout for our 3rd manager of the season, having not sacked anyone, it would be fair to question what exactly is going on at Bloomfield Road. On the pitch, we went from absolutely sublime to utterly terrible in the first two months, and [...]

The wettest summer for many a year, nationwide flooding, frosty nights and a very wet and windy December. All these things don’t help if you are a groundsman, but at Blackpool they are catastrophic. On a pitch that even in perfect weather conditions struggles to hold up for an entire season, the recent weather on [...]

Two games, 38 shots, an average of 60% possession, total domination and chance after chance created. It was an exciting Christmas of football, but all this led to just 2 goals and 1 point, leaving the Blackpool fans, manager and players feeling like they had all the presents robbed on Christmas eve. If there was [...]

Still unbeaten under a new manager after seven games. Not a bad start, though it is only 11 points from a possible 21. But then again, it’s all about keeping the momentum going and you can start to see signs of confidence returning to the players in all areas of the pitch. After a string [...]
