Unlike last season our Lancashire derbies in 23/4 will carry a little more significance.

We're all looking forward to the chance to set thing straight with them Wigan cunts next season. 

Older fans will also be looking forward to our other main local derby - our old friends the donkey lashers from Bloomfield Road. Their Bolton obsession clearly continues unabated. Mention BWFC to a Blackpool fan and it's a guarantee they'll become animated. Surveys of rivalries consistently rank us as their 2nd most hated team behind PNE. This thread from their forum sums it up.

Bolton | AVFTT

I'll be looking forward to our fixtures v them and hoping we win at Gloomfield for the first time since Xmas 1977.   Bring em on. 

Doubt this fixture will ko on Saturday 3pm

Seems to be a couple of sensible Blackpool fans on that. A first in my lifetime.

Boxing day, we have them at home, it's a sell out, we're top of the table, let's have it! 

It will be 11am kick off on a Sunday in January.

IAMOUT 😃😃😃

Rumours that they will have a £5m budget for players next season? Can that be right, thought they were skint?

Never understood the fascination.

Saturday early kick-off in the depths of winter or mid-week.

 

F##k em the soft b******s

Like this one maybe?

Bolton can go shite.

Or this one perhaps?

Growing unrest amongst fans over Evo, we should hang fire on our appointment.

Or this one?

Fuck Bolton and everything and everyone connected to them. I've got a long memory.

Hence saying a couple of them not all of them.

I think if they had murdered one of ours the hatred would be just as intense.

Seems very confected if that's the case. Hatred over something that happened 50 years ago to someone virtually none of their fans (or ours) knew.

I remember it because I was watching the World of Sport and Dickie Davies announced it on live TV that there'd been a fatality at the game.  Very sad.

The cover-up, lack of remorse or acknowledgement plays a major role in their angst.

Cover up? Really? Jimmy Armfield apologised on behalf of the club that night didn't he? 

Blackpool was my first ever away game, about 1976/77. We lost 0-1. I've been there for several league games since plus league cup, sherpa van, fa Cup and even pre season friendlies. We've not won any of em. 

it was a police fuck up (surprise surprise ) not the stabbing , but the interview.

Me too, seen pre-season, FA Cup, Sherpa Van, league games, never won but not seen many defeats, a lot of scoring draws, and surges on packed terraces.  

Sherpa Van one of best memories of any away game I've been to, Norpigs everywhere.

I was there that day. Horrible experience. For many reasons. 

I seem to remember that we played Blackpool in what was billed as the first football league game to be broadcast live,it was on a Friday night and we won 1-0 I think ……..I think I’m right but stand to,be corrected

1953 The Stanley Mathews final, the only trophy they've ever won. Our beef with them goes a long time back!

Unlike Wigan...

It's football, it's tribal..... Nothing elaborate about it.
