Very First Blackpool Game 14:19 - Aug 11 with 3050 views

Mine was about 1971/72 - we beat Burnley 4-2 - and had chips on the way home (the chips actually the most memorable part of it!).

Poll:

Who reckons we'll beat Watford?

The first one I remember was Man City in the Cup in January 1966. We drew 1-1 and stood in the West paddock near that little stand that linked the South and West. It went over the entrance to the West paddock.

I can see Alan Ball with his vivid ginger hair attacking the South end down that West flank.

The ground didn't change for 30 plus years after that other than the ads on the stand roofs and a paint lick changing it from corporation green to tangerine.

Hull City at home, 10 August 1968. Won 2-0.

My brother took me to Man City at home in the FA Cup '84 (2-1) - I remember sitting on that little wall that separated the west paddock from the pitch.

Can't remember the first game but I remember us playing North End in the year we sent them down! Makes me feel ancient!

2002, I think it was QPR. I remember Shane Richie getting a bit of stick from the crowd as he was in the posh part.
