Blackpool Football Club is a professional association football club based in the seaside town of Blackpool, Lancashire, England. The team is competing in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system, in 2021–22, having gained promotion from League One in 2020–21.

Founded in 1887, the club played home games at Raikes Hall and the Athletic Grounds before moving to Bloomfield Road in 1901.

The club were founder members of the Lancashire League in 1889 and were invited into the Football League Second Division in 1896. They failed re-election in 1899 but had their Football League membership reinstated the following year. Blackpool remained in the Second Division until they won the league title in 1929–30, though they were relegated after three seasons in the First Division. Promoted again in 1936–37, the club entered a golden period under the stewardship of long-time manager Joe Smith. Blackpool lost the 1948 and 1951 FA Cup finals before winning the competition in 1953, in the so-called "Matthews Final", in which they beat Bolton Wanderers 4–3, overturning a 3–1 deficit in the closing stages of the game. That same year, four Blackpool players were in the England team which lost against Hungary at Wembley.[1][2] In the 1950s they had four top-six finishes in the First Division, with their best position being runners-up to Manchester United in 1955–56. In 1956, Stanley Matthews was the inaugural recipient of the Ballon d'Or.[3]

Blackpool were relegated out of the First Division in 1967 and again in 1971 after winning promotion in 1969–70. They dropped into the fourth tier after suffering relegations in 1978 and 1981, then gained promotion in 1984–85. Between 1987 and 2019, the club was owned by the Oyston family. Nine years after buying the club, Owen Oyston was jailed for the 1992 rape and indecent assault of a 16-year-old girl.[4] His wife, Vicki, took over the chairmanship of the club during her husband's three-year prison term. The couple's son, Karl, took over in 1999 and remained in the role for 19 years. In 2018, after the Oyston family was found, in a High Court judgement, to have operated an "illegitimate stripping" of the club, paying out £26.77 million to companies they owned, Owen relieved Karl of his role and gave it to his daughter, Natalie. In June 2019, Simon Sadler, a 49-year-old Blackpool-born businessman, bought a 96.2% share in the club,[5] completely removing the Oyston family from any involvement.[6]

During the long years of Oyston ownership, Blackpool were relegated into the fourth tier in 1990, promoted via the play-offs in 1992, then relegated again in 2000. Blackpool reached the Premier League in 2010, after becoming the first club to gain promotion from every division of the Football League via the play-off system; they won the 2001 Third Division play-offs, 2007 League One play-offs and the 2010 Championship play-offs. They spent one season in the Premier League, under manager Ian Holloway, and later suffered a double relegation into League Two by 2016, though gained immediate promotion by winning the 2017 League Two play-off final.

Bloomfield Road is a single-tier football stadium in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, which has been the home of Blackpool F.C. since 1901. It is the third stadium in the club's existence, the previous two being Raikes Hall Gardens and the Athletic Grounds.

Largely unchanged since the 1960s, the stadium began a redevelopment phase in the early 2000s. A temporary East Stand was erected before the start of the 2010–11 season, the club's debut in the Premier League. It is still in place today. The three permanent stands are named the Stan Mortensen North Stand (denoted by the acronym "B.F.C." spelled out in white seats, the Jimmy Armfield South Stand (with the former player's last name spelled out in white seats) and the Sir Stanley Matthews West Stand (with one of the club's nicknames, "SEASIDERS", spelled out in white seats).

The record attendance at Bloomfield Road is 38,098, when Blackpool played Wolverhampton Wanderers on 17 September 1955.[5]

The stadium hosted three matches of the 2005 UEFA Women's Championship. It has also been the venue for the final of the Northern Rail Cup, a rugby league tournament.

MANAGER

Liverpool
Due to fixture congestion of Liverpool's first team during the 2019–20 season, Critchley served as their stand-in manager for their EFL Cup away match against Aston Villa on 17 December 2019.[4] The congestion was caused by Liverpool's participation in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar, which overlapped with the EFL Cup quarter-finals.[5][6][7] Liverpool, fielding a team made up exclusively of under-23s, were beaten 5–0.[8][9] Critchley again served as Liverpool's stand-in manager for the FA Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town on 4 February 2020, as the first team were on a mid-season break.[10] The youthful Liverpool team won 1–0 via an own goal.[11]

Blackpool
On 2 March 2020, Critchley was appointed as head coach of Blackpool on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[12] After a curtailed regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Blackpool finished in 13th position after standings were amended to reflect a points-per-game ratio.[13]

In Critchley's first full season in charge, 2020–21, Blackpool finished third at the conclusion of the regular season, going on to win promotion via the EFL League One play-offs.[14]

To be fair Critchley has done well would have been happy to steal him when Neil got potted and therefore that's the problem they will face the better he does the more he will be wanted by other clubs

MYSTIC MACS FORM GUIDE

BLACKPOOL 13 PNE 7

LAST TIME OUT



PNE Team News


After picking up injuries in the defeat against Queens Park Rangers prior to the international break, both Sean Maguire and Ali McCann have been back in training with North End ahead of this fixture.

Frankie McAvoy said that the rest of the squad which faced Coventry City on Wednesday night would be assessed on Thursday.

The Opposition

Blackpool head into Saturday’s game after coming from behind to beat Reading on Wednesday evening, with three goals in the second half turning around a two-goal deficit.

They currently sit 12th in the table in their first season back in the Championship since being relegated in 2015.

In the dugout for them is Neil Critchley, in his first senior managerial role after previously being in charge of Liverpool’s U18s and U23s.

Key Stats

Striker Jerry Yates, joint top scorer this season in the Blackpool squad, comes into this encounter in fine form, having scored four goals in his last three games.

PNE have much the better of the head to head record against their rivals, winning 45 of the 94 games, compared to Blackpool’s 30 victories.

The Seasiders sit third in the form table, taking 13 points from a possible 18, with the only defeat in that run coming against Huddersfield Town at home.

Our Last Meeting


Not many will need reminding of the last time these two sides faced each other back in League Cup action in 2013.

The game looked set to be heading into extra-time, but captain Tom Clarke popped up with a famous 87th-minute, heading home Lee Holmes’ free-kick, cuing huge celebrations in the home stands.

Man In The Middle

Tim Robinson will take charge of his second PNE game of the season at the weekend, with the first being the goalless draw away at Bristol City back in September.

Robinson is an experienced EFL official, with his first season in the Football League coming in the 2012/13 campaign.

He will be assisted by Andrew Fox and Matthew McGrath, while Bobby Madley will be fourth official.

They won't be there because they are dead but they came from Blackpool


Gary Miller, born Neville Williams (3 May 1924 – 15 June 1968)[1] was an English popular music singer and actor of the 1950s and 1960s.[2] His career spanned only 13 years before he died of a heart attack in 1968. He released 24 singles and six EPs on the Pye label between 1955 and 1967. Pye released a further compilation EP after his death.



MACS VIEW

Long time since we paid a viist to the 7th century outpost of civilisation, a 1-1 draw with Billy Clark scoring in about 45 seconds and Ross Wallace direct from a free kick a trademark goal from the left footed Scottish winger.
A lot of water has passed since then, they've been down and have come back , got rid of the Oyston's and now seem to be stable as a club which is helping them on the pitch as well
Promoted via the play offs last season|(one day they may actually win a league.)
In the grand scheme of things this is all about local bragging rights however the main aim for both clubs is to get 50 points ASAP
They are in better form than us at the moment mind you apart from Cardiff who isn't
We have only one league defeat since 17/8/2021 QPR but we have only had one win since the beginning of September, a series of draws were in truth we probably didn't do enough to win any of them.
Wednesday's win against Coventry was welcomed but we need to turn up for the entire 90 minutes which we have rarely done this season.
Tomorrow is not the day to give a half arsed performance.
Well lads up to you

AFC Bournemouth v Huddersfield Town
The Sky Bet Championship
Saturday October 23rd - 15:00 ko
at the Vitality Stadium

That campaign was successful and they played their first Div 3(S) game at Swindon in August 1923, followed by the first home game against the same team a week later, gaining their first point in a 0-0 draw.

Bournemouth and Boscombe stayed in the 3rd division for a record number of successive seasons, even staying in Div 3 when the North and South Divisions went national and Division Four was formed in 1958. They were in the 3rd from 1923 til 1970 when finally they got relegated to Div 4. Their best season from these years was 1947/48 when they finished as runners up to QPR, when only the champions went up. They also had their record win in this time. Unfortunately, their 10-0 win against Northampton Town was disqualified as it took part in the abandoned 1939/40 season, which was struck off after only three matches.

So down in the 4th for the 1970/71 season, which was just for the one year as they bounced straight back up as runners up to Notts County. That one season was the only one that B&BAFC had outside the 3rd division because in 1971, they changed their name to AFC Bournemouth, not because they had gone bust and reformed like some teams now who stick AFC at the front of their names to distinguish from the old club. No, they just did it so they would be top of the alphabetic league.

Anyway, the new name had a positive effect on the pitch and they almost had back to back promotions, finishing 3rd when only the top two went up. But that didn't last long and they got relegated again in 1975, finishing 4th from bottom, four places above Huddersfield Town who finished bottom.

AFCB had seven seasons in Div 4, coming back up in 1982 in 4th place. This was followed by six seasons in Div 3 with their former player and West Ham legend Harry Redknapp as manager. And at the end of that sixth season, 1986/87, they finally made it up into the 2nd Division. They did it in style too, going up as champions with 97 points.

Four of those draws came in one season. That was the 2010/11 season, we had Lee Clark in charge and they had Lee Bradbury. We drew at the Galpharm 2-2 in September. Josh McQuoid gave the Cherries the lead, but then Antony Kay equalised just before half time. Gary Roberts put us ahead from the penalty spot (yes, a penalty!) just after the interval, but then Marc Pugh levelled up near the end. It was us getting the late equaliser down at theirs in February. Cleckheaton's finest, Danny Cadamarteri got it in the 89th minute after Michael Symes had given them a 79th minute lead.

By the end of the season, Town were on a 24 match unbeaten run (in the league  ) and had finished in 3rd place, whereas Bournemouth had snuck in in sixth, one point ahead of Leyton Orient and Exeter City and a whopping 17 points behind us. We were big favourites to win, but we all know that that's not always the case with the Play Offs.

We set off very early to the south coast for a Saturday dinner time Sky Sports kick off and our future ice skating star, Kevin Kilbane opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, heading in from a corner. Soon after though, Bournemouth were awarded a penalty, conceded by Town's goalie, Ian Bennett. Danny Ings took it, but super saver Bennett saved it. All was looking good, but the Cherries came back into it in the second half and when Donal McDermott equalised on the hour, we were quite relieved to come away level after the first leg.

The second leg, on the Wednesday, was an all time classic encounter, swinging both ways with 8 yellow cards, one red, six goals and a penalty shoot out. All this creating one of the most tense but yet brilliant atmospheres ever felt at the Stade de Kirklees. Town took the lead in the 26th minute, once again from a Gary Roberts corner, Lee Peltier scoring this time. But then in the 44th minute, Bournemouth were awarded another pen. Steve Lovell took this one and scored. So the scores would be level at half time. No. Nineteen year old striker, Danny Ward, on loan from Premier League side Bolton Wanderers struck a magnificent shot past the Bournemouth keeper to give us the interval lead.

The intensity stepped up even further and the nervousness of the crowd grew worse when after 63 minutes, Lovell levelled the scores at two all on the night. It stayed that way for the rest of normal time and so we had to endure another 30 minutes, which looked to be going disastrously for us when Danny Ings gave them the lead for the first time in the tie, just before the break.

The crowd were not going to let the boys just whimper away from this and ramped up the noise to well over maximum. We got a corner, taken again by Roberts. It was another perfect one and who rose highest this time? It was Antony Kay powering a header into the back of the net, sending the stadium roof flying off it's hinges like never seen before. The match ended 4-4 on aggregate, but not before Bournemouth had been reduced to ten men with Jason Pearce receiving a straight red from Neil Swarbrick for a wild mis-timed tackle.

Shame about the Final.                 


I need a lie down after all that. So let's lower the heart rate and go back to a dreary Saturday afternoon in late September 1973, when these two teams met for the first time. Town were on a rotten downward spiral and were playing in the 3rd division for the first ever time. Crowds were dwindling at Leeds Road as the local economy was on a downturn as well with strikes against the evil Tory government biting deep and only 5,360 turned up to see Alan Gowling score from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw. Bournemouth won 1-0 down at theirs, just before Christmas and just before the country was plunged into darkness and the infamous three day working week.

By the time Bournemouth came back up to Leeds Road in the following season, the Heath government had been kicked out and celebrity Town fan Harold Wilson was back in Downing Street. Billy McGinley and Jimmy Lawson scored in a 2-2 draw. Brian O'Neill scored down there in another draw later in the season, a season that ended with both clubs being relegated to Division Four.

We just couldn't beat Bournemouth though. Draws and defeats were the norm until finally, in our tenth meeting, we went and won at last. It was a meaningless match as well. The final game of 77/78, nothing to play for, we were 11th, they were 17th and only 1,638 spectators turned up for what was the lowest ever crowd for a first team match at Leeds Road. As I said though, we won. Two nil with goals from Wayne Goldthorpe and an Ian Holmes penalty.

We lost 0-2 down at Dean Court in the next season, but won at home, 2-1 with Peter Fletcher and Terry Armstrong scoring. Next season though, we did the double over them on the way to winning the 4th Division title under the management of the brilliant Mick Buxton. David Cowling, Fletcher again and Micky Laverick scoring in our first win at Dean Court. Ian Robins and Keith Hanvey scored in a 2-0 win back at Leeds Road.

Peter Fletcher

Bournemouth's most famous resident was probably Max Bygraves, who once sang a song about toothbrushes. I won't bore you with that one.  There are much better ones to choose from. Andy Summers of The Police was born there. John Hawken of the Nashville Teens, busker Don Partridge, Gordon Haskell and John Wetton of King Crimson, Hammond organist Zoot Money and the drummer from the 70s rock band Nazareth, Darrell Sweet were all from the town as well.

You're not getting to watch all of those though, but here's The Police......

Eight wins, eight losses and six draws.

Jim Baker, who scored in the 1915 Wartime League match against Derby, is more well known down the other end of the A62. He was at Town for six years, but was one of the players who left for Leeds when they attempted to do an "MK Dons" on us in 1920. He was their first club captain, skippered them to promotion to the First Division and later in life, served on their Board of Directors.

Ralph Shields, I have mentioned in previous match threads. He scored on this date in 1920 against WBA, but they were his last Town goals. Despite a great record of 21 goals in 45 games, he was sold to 3rd division Exeter City and at 28 years old, his career was coming slowly to an end. I'll mention it again about his war record. He served as a bombardier in WW1 and served in the Aussie Army in WW2 after emigrating and lying about his age. He was captured by the Japs and died in 1944 in a POW camp.

Jimmy Watson, who scored in 1954 against Everton, signed for us from Motherwell, having earlier won the Scottish Cup with them.

Does anything highlight our drop down the Football League ladder in the 70s more than the two fixtures in 1971 and 1976? We played at Anfield in '71 on this date and then 5 years later we were turning out and losing at the Recreation Ground, Aldershot in Division 4.

Mark Lillis scored all four goals in the match against Cardiff in 1982. This was shortly after a local butcher had agreed to give him a t-bone steak for every goal he scored. Poor bloke was bankrupt by the end of the season.

The 3-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth in 1990 is the programme image in the Head to Head section above. Let's hope for a 3-1 win for the away team in this match 31 years on.

Quite a spread of scores this week. Some late comebacks ruined a few predictions (though losing points as a result of Villa's collapse is acceptable given how hilarious it was). No AAA again this week so I haven't included him in the tables, but if you want to come back just put your scores in - given how some players are performing, it won't take long to catch up!

Derby took advantage of a quite predictable gamball game (look, given the season I've had so far, I'm allowed to gloat on occasions) to head this week's table. His second consecutive maximum on the gamball added to positive scores on his other balls to give him 20 points - not bad from only 4 correct results. Snooty followed up last time's table topping performance with another good week to lie just a point behind Derby. He was the only other player to score on the gamball and also got the week's high of 6 correct predictions. Silver takes 3rd place as the only other player reaching double figures. He lost out on the gamball but more than made up for it with the week's only maximum on the bonus ball.

A gap to the rest. BBB's 1-0/0-1 theory didn't really work with a mediocre return of 7 points, though he did at least score from his bonus. SCO's flying start to the season seems just a distant memory - he has now accumulated just 8 points in the last 3 weeks - Sheffield Wednesday's late collapse costing him on his bonus. Double the pain! Sanjay had an identical record to SCO with BaggieOne 1 point behind as a result of this week's only miss on the score ball.

And then comes Minizin. Just 1 solitary point and the only player this week to fail to get a correct score. Like SCO he has only scored 8 points from the last 3 weeks as an encouraging start to the season is beginning to turn into a relegation struggle - not that I derive any enjoyment from that, honest!

Silver 110
Derby 108
SCO 91
BBB 88
Snooty 88
Minizin 83
BaggieOne 61
Sanjay 58

Silver holds on to his lead at the top though Derby is closing the gap. These 2 are the first to reach triple figures and have opened up a bit of a gap to the rapidly declining SCO who clings on to 3rd place ahead of the inconsistent BBB and the improving Snooty. Minizin is the week's big faller dropping 2 places to 6th as his early season promise evaporates. BaggieOne and Sanjay occupy the relegation spots still with quite a gap to safety.

Twerton 2pts 1CS 2CR -3GB -3BB 0SB

Better scoring week than last week, but only for some.  Zinman finally finds some form and posts his best score of the season so far with 20 points.  He also got his first spot on Gamball and backed that up with points on both the other balls as well.  Our leader Blue Baggie also had a decent week with 15 points, he got a CR on the Gamball and a spot on Bonus to boost his score.  Amelia put in her best performance since week 4 with 12 points, there is some fight in her after all!!

Stairs continues to be steady and his 10 points this week will keep him well in the promotion hunt.  Dingle is 5th with 9 points, he scored a CR on the Gamball and Bonus and got the Scoreball but these were his only scoring matches keeping his score down.  Lady Jane is 6th on 7 points, this will see her consolidate her table position but not much else.  Salop is 7th with 6 points, he will lose ground on the leaders this week.

The bottom two didn't fare well at all, Themaclad on 3 points and Twerton on 2 points only managed one Scoreball point between them on the Balls and while Twerton got on CR he didn't get much else!!

114 - Blue Baggie
101 - Stairs
78 - Salop
78 - Dingle
71 - Lady Jane
69 - Zinman
67 - Twerton
59 - Themaclad
56 - Amelia

Blue extends his lead at the top and is now 13 points ahead of Stairs in second spot with both of them hitting the century mark.  These two have now opened up a 20+ point gap on Salop and Dingle, with Lady Jane just 6 points behind them moving up one spot to 5th place.  Zinman jumped 2 spots this week at the expense of Twerton and Themaclad who are now looking over their shoulders at Amelia at just 3 points behind Themaclad.

Cheers
SCO

Heard that the owners are considering re-naming "The Hawthorns" to honour past managers and their philosophies.

Rumour has it that in memory of our glory years under Tony Pulis, fat Sam sorry big sam, Alan Pardew and now VI, they are going to re-brand it as "Jurassic Park". The home of dinosaur football.

On a side note, Birmingham international airport air traffic control have started 're directing flights on Albion match days due to the danger caused to low flying aircraft by footballs

Oh for the days of Albion attacking, attractive football.

LAST MATCH



Another game, a mixed performance and more points dropped. We never got going in the first half and Cambridge took the lead as we decided not to mark there player from a corner, who scored with a glancing header. We had a couple of chances towards the end of the half but went in trailing. Onto the second and when DM finally put some attacking players on we played better and were eventually rewarded when SB found Dele Bashiru who got in the box and scored with a tidy finish. Palmer had a late chance to win it but there keeper saved well

THE MATCH



Next up and Lincoln travel to Hillsborough for the first time in over 40 years when we were in the 3rd Division aka League One. Lincoln have made a disappointing start to the league and languish in 15th place. They are inconsistent, wining 2, drawing 2 and losing 2 of there last 6. They are managed by Michael Appleton who has been in charge for a couple of years, taking over from the Cowley brothers. Anthony Scully is there main threat with 7 goals and 3 assists so far. I expect them to improve but have they got it in them to mount a playoff challenge, we will see

KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC

The KUNTAI World Wheelchair Curling Championship 2021 will begin on Saturday 23 October and end on Saturday 30 October at the National Aquatic Centre, also known as the Ice Cube, in Beijing, China.

In addition to competing for a world medal, teams will be aiming to secure as many Paralympic Qualification Points in order to qualify for the Paralympics in March 2022. The 11 teams with the most points cumulated from their performance at the 2019, 2020 and 2021 World Championships will get through to the Games, with China qualifying as hosts. The 12 teams competing in the coming week are Canada, China, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Norway, RCF, Scotland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and United States.

The championship will begin with a round-robin stage from Saturday until Thursday. A six-team play-off will then take place. In that play-off the teams ranked first and second at the end of the round robin progress directly to the semi-finals. Each of their opponents will be decided by a qualification round where the third ranked team will play the sixth ranked team and the fourth ranked team will play the fifth. The winners of these games advance to the semi-finals on Friday, with the bronze medal game on Saturday morning and the final on Saturday afternoon.

Scotland's team is Hugh Nibloe (Skip), Gregor Ewan (Vice-Skip), David Melrose (Second), Meggan Dawson-Farrell (Lead) and Charlotte McKenna (Alternate). Nibloe and Melrose won Silver Medals at these Championships in 2019, with Nibloe also winning Bronze in 2017, but Scotland have never won Gold since 2005, so another Gold is long overdue.

Scotland's first game is against Norway on Saturday and play Italy and then Korea on Sunday. I could quote times, but the ones on the WCF website don't make sense, unless they're playing through the night.
