Good afternoon to one and all

As a born and bred Leyther who happens to be a Blackpool fan of many years.

I am one very happy Blackpool supporter icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

A lovely day out indeedy.

As for Mr Alex's dad comments,
of the 42 soon to be 43 teams that have played in the Premier League years
the term small town club also applies to Oldham, Swindon, Barnsley, Burnley, Blackburn to name a few.

Blackpool has a population of 142,900. Not including other parts of the Fylde Coast.
whereas Leigh has a population of 43,000.

If you wish to pontificate/procrastinate that much, some in rugby league would refer to Leigh as a small town club, which dont help a Super Dooper league Application.

as for the quality of the ground, please do not be hypocritical about baby changing facilities.
We may have LSV now, but what about the facilities at HP before 2 seasons ago, open air gents toilets and the rest..............

One proud Leyther and tangerine supporter icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Bolton by birth, Irish by blood, LEYTHER by heart and soul!! [quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3] [quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people. As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg



'kinell A.D......this one ain't worth the effort!!!!

Fulwood - please try to understand before one of us dies!!!

Alex's Dad was NOT repeat NOT having a go at either Blackpool FC or the facilities at Bloomfield Rd.!!!

It was a tongue in cheek dig at the lamentable differences between the management of a clubs ambitions in Football and Rugby League. Football has promotion and relegation...a system based on a clubs on-field activities (you know - the stuff that actually matters!! The reason you go watching the game in the first place!!) and that has served them fine for about 120 years!!
We in rugby league don't like to stay in one place too long, so we f*ck about with the format on a regular basis!! (one division, two divisions, 3 divisions, regional divisions, etc. League Championships, Premierships, play-offs, grand finals, etc etc, name changes, rule changes, Fekkin' all-sorts!!)....and for the first 113 years of the sport in this country it kinda made sense, because a club's ambition was only ever curtailed by its lack of playing skill, or financial clout. These days though!! Well, its all 'location, location' that dictates if you get to progress!! Where are you based? What are your facilities like? What are your crowds like? What is your youth set-up like? And what happens is, you are awarded a score in each of these criteria - and the 12,14,16 (your guess is as good as mine!!) best 'scoring' clubs get to play in the premier competition for the next 3 years........unless, of course, they do not match the 'secret x factor' criteria, as laid down by SKY.... To avoid any 'confusion' the scoring remains a secret, and everyone signs an agreement to say they won't question the scoring....just so everything is above board!!

So - again in plain English - no one, repeat no one, is having a go at Blackpool F.C!!!!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

All well and good if i'd mentioned any moral high ground - but i didn't. I merely pointed out your failure to read a post properly. And you've done it again. icon_biggrin.gif
