I'll explain (it) for you. There won't be any raft of shite. The players who are still here will be the basis of the squad that we'll have next season. Which is what some of us have been saying since the back end of last season. Perhaps you're 'hard of reading'.

What happened to the 'raft of shite' that we were preparing to ditch? I thought someone on here said that the manager and coaching staff were in full agreement with them?

Even though he said that he was only playing a back three last season because of injuries?

There's no prize money for places according to Huddersfield's Chief Exec: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02rcxqg

http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/football-league-statement-blackpool-v-huddersfield-2456549.aspx "In making its judgment the FDC will be asked to consider any matters relating to compensation to Huddersfield Town and ticket refunds to supporters."

http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/football-league-statement-blackpool-v-huddersfield-2456549.aspx "The Board took the view that the 0-0 scoreline that stood at the time of the game's abandonment (in the 48th minute) should be officially recorded as the final result of the match, as it believes that league points should always be earned on the field of play." That makes no sense because neither team earned a point as they only played half a game.

3-0 up away from home. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGX1B_4_xtw

What's in the backyard?

Neymar on the other hand...

If they can't be '100% certain', surely they shouldn't be naming the bloke, dead or not: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32701040

'Prometheus'. I can only assume that Ridley Scott had some sort of massive brain fart and then made a film of it. How it didn't win the Oscar for best comedy is beyond me. Especially the bit were The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo gives herself a C-Section and then fights off the baby octopus that emerges, before necking a couple of Asprin and running around like nothing has happened.

No it isn't. We didn't have a pot to piss in back then and there was no prospect of ever having one either. No one in their right mind would have invested a penny into the club. Selling half the Embankment End and launching Burnden Lifeline effectively saved the club.

Ajax players led out onto the pitch by their mums to celebrate Mothers Day in Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbfjrXLcDpo

Ex-Blackpool player now playing for Chesterfield claims he was punched, kicked and spat at by PNE supporters when they invaded the pitch after the game.

"Red card for Mikel only 45 minutes into the game!" Alan Green's description of Fabregas' tackle on Stirling after 45 seconds which resulted in a yellow card.

It's nothing like it was back then. We owed money to the banks rather than a benefactor and they weren't interested in bailing us out. Not to mention that crowds were about half what they are now and there was no real TV income. We also had a stadium that was barely fit for purpose and no training facilities to speak of.

I liked the anecdote about the not very commercially minded, commercial manager. Peter Reid was still playing for us when he took over, before we gave him away to Everton for £60K. I'd be interested to see what the team line-up was for his first match in charge away at Burnley and what we were left with by the final game of that season.

Interesting insight from John McGovern about his time at Bolton. Apparently when he'd only been there a month, the chairman told him at 2am one Friday morning that he had to sell a player before Saturday otherwise the club would go out of business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSrObtPn2Wk

One of the newly elected SNP MP's is a 20 year old politics student who has yet to complete his degree. Seriously, how can anyone cast a vote for a 20 year old student to run anything?

I thought that smug twerp Clegg told us that he was going to hold the balance of power?

One Lionel Ritchie...

Their only UK number one:

There seems to be more Bolton supporters in the ground than Blackpool at that game in '74. Look at the number of fans not celebrating Blackpool's goal in their end.
