Blackpool fan in peace. Got to be honest I can't see you guys making the play offs and so any chance you can generously donate the 3 points our way! Sure you'd sooner have a day out on the coast next season than have to head to Shrewsbury!! Here's our forum if you're passing!

Does anybody remember this game (mentoned on one of their message boards). I remember a Blackpool game where I think there was fighting on the terraces (maybe when when we could change ends at half-time?) but not sure if it was this game
"It was in 1984 that the Blackpool hooligans started to earn their reputation. In March, Rochdale F.C. were totally overwhelmed when 3,000 Blackpool fans descended on their Spotland Stadium when they usually had crowds of about 1,300. A mob of Blackpool fans went on the rampage causing “A trail of havoc” according to the Manchester Evening News headlines who continued, “21 cars were damaged, two parked vehicles overturned and 4 Police cars damaged.”[10] By April, 1984 according to the Blackpool Evening Gazette, the police were worried about an army of about 200 hooligans and vowed to drive them out." | | | |

Agree that Dale will need to be ready and "up for it" tomorrow.........we were expected to wallop Doncaster two weeks ago and scrapped home with a point.....no easy games around at this time in the season.
B'pool have only 4 games left (3 away and Wigan at home) so will be fighting for every point.
Interesting comment in the Preview by Ormerod, if they go a goal down heads might drop.....Dale,you know what to do....SCORE FIRST! | | | |

Yes, remember it well. It was certainly the worst hooliganism I've witnessed at Spotland. I think it's the game TS is referring to as well.
They've gone all Bradford on their away support, though. The crowd was 3147 and Dale had got 1263 the week before, so it seems likely there were about 2000 Blackpool fans there.
Our game against them the following season had to kick-off at 11am on police advice and I can't recall there being any bother that day. |  |

Correct on all points. The worst hooliganism I've seen at Spotland also, although Hull and Wrexham also took a dislike to the Spotland air in years gone by. | | | |

It could be a bit ugly tomorrow from a 'beautiful game' point of view
On their forum
Blackpool v Rochdale preview
"The Blackpool boss will therefore probably relish Saturday’s trip to Rochdale where he’ll feel justified in saying ‘same again’ as he looks to get a goal on the break and achieve a classic ‘smash and grab’ at Spotland (don’t be surprised if his tactic board had a bus parked in front of their goal). One thing that we have discovered about this side this season is that they can’t compete unless they score first. It is an astonishing statistics that McDonald’s side have failed to win when they’ve gone behind in a game and psychologically it’s almost as bad as last season’s record of failing to win on the road.
Whilst the back four have remained solid enough, the midfield has had no creativity or width whilst the Blyth/Cullen partnership hasn’t been the revelation that the Blackpool manager claimed last week. Whilst Keith Hill may kid himself that Rochdale still have a chance of the Play Offs, there’s no doubt they are the biggest threat the Seasiders have faced in recent weeks. Ironically, they have got to 8th place conceding more goals than the Seasiders, which is why the visitors can’t employ last week’s negative tactics. Similarly in their last 5 games ‘Dale have scored 16 goals and so inviting the home side to attack would be suicidal. If there was ever a game that Blackpool needed to keep shape, discipline and ball retention then it would be this one." | | | |

Crikey, remember them lot throwing pint pots and cutlery around the Regal before the old bill closed it for the afternoon.
Think tomorrow will be a tough contest. I actually didn't think Blackpool looked that bad when we went to Bloomfield rd. I'd much rather they stay up than Fleetwood or as the OP suggested Shrewsbury. Still, I think we will win. |  |

Possibly it was the last time we played Cardiff on a Saturday
I remember coming out of the Sandy at the end of the game and there were three or four of their fans standing in the road (a few yards towards the bus shelter on the left) and with their backs to the direction of the traffic - regardless of whether they got ran over or not - and challenging any Dale fan who was within a few yards of them to 'come and have a go'!! | | | |

Thankfully The Church is no more, for the worst trouble i have seen outside of the ground was in there against.... Blackpool.
Never understood why there were so many kick offs with the Tangerines. |  |

Cardiff.
Worst I've ever seen at Spotland in terms of the percentage of away supporters being involved in disorder. Usually you get a dozen or so idiots who want to create a bit of havoc and/or disorder, maybe cause a bit of damage, but the Cardiff fans were vile bastards with an entirely different agenda.
Utter thugs. I'm sure others will remember them running amok in various parts of the ground and indiscriminately assaulting people just for the sheer hell of it.
Hope we never see that again at Spotland. |  |

In the dim and distant past I remember trouble with Newport fans and also Port Vale in the Willbutts Lane stand when changing ends at half time. Also Portsmouth fans when they filled the Sandy Lane (late 70s i think). In fact during the eighties it was unusual for there not to be any trouble. | | | |

A very little known fact (it was kept very secret at the time, but it's long ago now to be able to tell the tale) about Cardiff was they visited us on the opening day of the 1995-96 season, a 3-3 draw.
Cardiff fans were housed in the old Willbutts Terrace.
On the Monday sweep up of the terraces, staff were amazed to discover a loaded gun tucked away. Police were called, but it was impossible to investigate further.
Presumably they started searching home supporters at home games after this incident! |  |

I was going to mention the gun find but not sure how true it was against Cardiff,a real set of tossers.
I've been belted in the chops twice against York one away and once at home,sure it won't be the last!!  | | | |

Moggies a Dale fan, he's not perfect like a lot of us, but there"s also a lot of good in him. Its more a reflection on the old days rather than whats happening now. Moggie had his day but he wasn't on his own,he was one of many. He was bloody daft at times but i quite like him. | | | |
