The first year we were together we won five trophies including the Blackpool Cup. We’ve won the cup and league double three times out of the last five years and the Ashington Miners Cup two years running. Last year they won the U15s cup but they were still U14s.
And despite having to rebuild a squad virtually from scratch with a net outlay of less than Ł5million - despite what many commentators have said - incorrectly - about the club's spending power in the Championship - that is exactly what he did with West... Full Article at Knees Up, Mother Brown

I can only deal with anything that is fact and what is fact is that we've got a massively important game in a few days against a very, very good Blackpool team.

At home it’s probably been a little bit of creativity from the middle of the park that we’ve lacked, and maybe individuality out wide to go past people ... It’s not just strikers, it’s not just missing chances, it’s a team effort and we’ve just fallen a bit short this year. The bottom line is from New Y...
I joined Blackpool in 1995 and we were runners up in the league and played in the Cup Winners Cup, where we reached the semi-finals in 1996. In 1997 I joined CAPS United and won a number of trophies including the BP Cup and we were also runners up to Dynamos in the league
Ready to go again? It would be fair to say after the disappointment of relegation, the frustration of the transfer window and the disappointing pre-season that few Blackpool fans are chomping at the bit for this new season to start.
I went to the theme park when I was a kid. It used to be massive. I don't know how big it is now but apart from that I've never been to Blackpool so I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait. It should be a really good game of football with both good footballing sides, and a great atmosphere.
The first thing is that we have to finish off our season and while all of these questions are coming up, the most important thing for me at the moment is Ipswich and Blackpool
Hi Chris. First off can I just say thank you for these webchats - they really give fans some unique insight and increase our connection with the club. Thank you. My question: last season I think you said that WBA had the second lowest wage bill in the Prem - with only Blackpool (I think) lower. Is it a ...
I have spoken to Aidy about it and I will be speaking to his father and a liaison next week regarding his contract. It will probably be Monday, before we go into the Blackpool game on Tuesday.
We would like to pay them back with a home win now. We know it will be a tough game against Blackpool on Saturday, but we owe the fans one for what they gave us at Peterborough. They were superb.
The young footballers were excited to see their Royals hero and congratulated Alex following his recent goal-scoring heroics against Blackpool. Many of the children had been at the game and were delighted to meet the centre half in person.
Blackpool have been quite savvy, using the Premier League to build the infrastructure to ensure they are challenging consistently in the second tier. They are fun to watch and that is how Ian Holloway wants it. Whatever happens with them you know that it is going to be a thoroughly enjoyable ride.
They remind me a bit of Blackpool ... They just stick to their game plan and no matter what happens they play the way they want to play. They play really good, attractive football and they're succeeding with it, so it's good for them.
Nicky scored at Blackpool and has had other opportunities ... He had a couple of chances at Cardiff and one at Leeds on Saturday where I would have backed him to slide it under the goalkeeper. He’s the same as any of our players, though, they have to continue to take responsibility and not lose patience...
They almost play like Ajax or Barcelona ... They play out from the back, the keeper is almost an 11th outfield player. Brendan Rogers has got a philosophy that is different. That is why I rate him very highly. Blackpool did it a couple of years ago and they did very well for the first half of the season...
We played superbly from start to finish and it was very satisfying to score against Blackpool. Lee Tomlin delivered the perfect free-kick and I got up well to win the header
Watford are a decent outfit and score goals but if we are on it and at it, and play like we did against Blackpool, any team will find it difficult against us
We have been told that Liverpool won’t let Jonjo out until Gerrard is completely fit ... Jonjo wants to come to Blackpool and we want him here, and we will keep stalking Liverpool until we get him. We are in close contact with Liverpool’s director of football Damien Comolli and we hope we will be able t...
When it's a three-game week, we always seem to beat the toughest opposition and then when it comes to game against a lesser team, no disrespect to anyone, we seem to struggle. Take for example our great win against Blackpool we then struggled at home to Crystal Palace, a team we feel that at home we sho...
Steven was tired. He hadn't started a first-team game for a while but I think the goal will give him that extra lift and if we can get him back out there against Blackpool, we will do
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has trained with the club today (Thursday) with a view to signing a permanent deal. No deal has yet been agreed but (Blackpool manager) Ian Holloway revealed in his press conference the striker has impressed and is close to full fitness.
I think I thought that this would be my last season but it’s going so well and as long as you feel good and you feel like you can do it, why would you bother retiring? Quinny said to me that you’re a long time retired, he said you should play as long as you could. And who knows, it would be brilliant to...
I was at Blackpool with Shaun too. he can actually play either centre-half or right-back, but I think in this team I'll have him at right-back. I don't think he missed a game in teh time I was at Blackpool, and he never got beaten in any one-on-ones. He's a good lad as well, and I still keep in touch wi...
Blackpool FC awards evening tonight, would of been nice if we'd have won but still a great season.
