Seems a little poor that they cant do some sort of sales / collection point at Blackpool. Its a 1000 allocation so not like they would otherwise go to Blackpool fans

There are a lot of restrictions in place right now and that wasn't an option.

Very odd they took them off sale, youd have thought they could have left them on sale today.

Post - always take the online sales off early due to that. The problems with this game was Blackpool not sending any tickets until last Thursday.

The case is underway and Mr Barton has pleaded not guilty.

I have also received advice that some posts on this thread are unacceptable. Some have been removed and to ensure no further comments land us in trouble, the thread is being locked.

Inexplicably he was rewarded with a new contract in the 2011/22 season. I never could my head around that. He was lightweight, prone to error, and quite unconvincing with the ball at his feet. I thought it spoke volumes that Dyche rarely, if ever, played him at centre half. Regarding the new contra...

Luckily someone found and handed my keys in, they are now back with me.

Excellent. Losing keys or wallets can be a nightmare.

There was a similar decent profile last year in the Athletic, I was surprised by how many games he played for us. Sounded like the most Coyle-esque of signings "I travelled up to Burnley and spoke to Owen Coyle,” he says. “We played a bit of head tennis and I signed on the same day." I seem to reme...

ClaretTony

He was largely rubbish for us, in part because he just had too many mistakes in him but perhaps that was also down to the way Howe set us up. A happy ending anyway! He never played for Coyle who signed him but it didn't matter whether it was Laws, Howe or Dyche, there were still too many mistakes.

ClaretTony

He played 21 games, somewhat incredibly! We released him at the end of it. He made 17 league appearances in the 2013/14 promotion season of which five were starts. We won just one of the games he started (1 win, 3 draws, 1 defeat). HIs final appearance was in the 1-0 win at Blackpool when he came o...

It's probably the smartest kit we've had in 10 years. I'm looking forward to seeing an innovative 3rd kit. Hoping for a powerful all-orange or yellow fluoro kit just to REALLY p*ss off those who insist everything we wear has to be made out of wool and just like the 80s. You’ll be disappointed if yo...

Mine too - I've not bought a shirt for years but I do have half a dozen player worn shirts from recent seasons

I have one of Arthur Gnohere’s from 2001/02.

Was good in that you could actually watch a match through to the result without it being a huge time commitment.

We have had that for years now though with t20

Read somewhere that Lookman is being offered around for 10m to Premier league clubs.

He will know Pope and JGB from his Charlton days. Get him signed up.

He’s been a huge success since leaving Charlton hasn’t he? What was it he’s done that would encourage you to sign him?

Exactly, a lot can be said about viera not having any PL managerial experience & rightly so, but he’s already proving useful for them with the recruitment side & that alone is important, would the Cooper bloke from Swansea do the same thing attract them players.

A bit like Waddle at Burnley

Interesting. Whatever happened to the video tape?

The video tape must have got tangled up in red tape.

The club had a habit of promising things back then and not delivering.

Yes 82/83 claret trim sky pinstripes as worn at Wolves funnily enough - now any fans of this one might be happy in a few weeks time ;) Was it 82/83?

Where has the “believed to be his wife” bit come from? None of the articles I’ve just come across mention his wife?

I saw it on a report headlined 'Charged with alleged attack on wife'.

Just seen that, and the case has been given a new trial date of 26th November this year

I knew there was a new date for it but I was rushing to go out to church so didn't have time to check.

Potentially go down and ask security or phone reception tomorrow

Was the police investigation into the incident involving Barton and the opposition manager at Barnsley ever concluded

Case was stopped because of communication problems with Stendel

I think our away shirt in 1983/84 was very similar design to this in white with a sky blue stripe. Or am I imagining it? If so, it would have been Spall.

Another club had the same lights, possibly Bolton at Burnden Park. I think they were made by Watson's (or maybe Booth's), of Bolton?

Definitely Bolton at Burnden Park. I think Watson's were a Bolton company.

I thought Davis was one of the best signings that Brian Miller made, think I’m right in thinking that Steve had fallen out with Crewe.

The Supporters Clubs helped pay for Davis too - I found this pic of a supporter handing over the cheque to Brian.

it was quite magical as a kid to see the sky near the turf illuminated by these lights.

I was a young kid living close to the ground when they first went up. I thought we were getting four Blackpool Towers.

Didn't the origional lights have a full bank of lighting which at sometime was replaced with high intensity lighting which only required about 2/3 rds of the lighting bank/pylon to be filled? The original lights I seem remember had 48 light blubs per pylon but that was reduced significantly when th...

Is it not very unusual to play a team in your league in a friendly pre-season?

Very, but as we get closer to the season and Football League clubs are out of the reckoning because their season is starting, the options are much reduced.

Apparently the club are trying to arrange another home game

I’m expecting two more games after Forest. The initial plan was two European clubs at home but it looks as though that has proved too difficult with the Newcastle game.

Lots of trialists for both sides, possibly.

I would expect us to have zero trialists in a pre-season game so close to the season starting.

Genuine question - how do you feel currently about going back to a full Turf Moor? I'm certainly anxious about it. .

He said on the Turf - which is what I thought but surprised he announced it like that and surprised it's behind closed doors.

Just getting something on site, that's working now too, but a 1-0 win with the Harker goal.

I think he is now in the first team squad
