* Craig, tell us about your podcast and a bit about yourself.
* So you finished in 21st place in League two on 38 points, I guess you’ve had better seasons?
* You dropped out of the league after the 07-08 season and spent SIX seasons in the conference eventually returning to the football league after winning the title in 2012-13. What was it like playing in the conference and how tough a league is it to get out of?
* Notable ex players who’ve played for both include Gordon Owen, Neal Bishop and the most well known is probably Alex Baptiste.

#163 – Happy anniversary
Club statement on season ticket/ticket refunds
The stark reality is that if every season ticket holder and seasonal corporate were to take up the option of a refund, then the ultimate financial cost to the Club could be in excess of £325,000.
Despite the lack of any visibility regarding next season, as you have seen from the recent announcements, the Club has continued to press ahead with implementing its plans for a bright, tangerine future. Over the forthcoming weeks, the Club will continue to invest towards its long term aim of improving the Club’s infrastructure and its more immediate target of promotion to the Championship.
In terms of compensating supporters, the Club is proposing the following options:
Season ticket holders can leave the cost of the 2019/20 season ticket in the Club, which will greatly help mitigate the costs of the Covid-19 pandemic and support plans for the 2020/21 promotion push by emailing option1@blackpoolfc.co.ukSupporters can donate the five ticket…

GTF in 2013
2011/12
What happened closed season with the contracts for everyone? Key players Adam, Vaughan and DJ all gone. All replaced with cheap crap.Kevin Phillips and Barry Ferguson aside, we did very poor business again. Tom Ince the only real bright spot. Started on fire, 1-0 win at Hull with a sublime goal from yourselfWest Ham defeat in the play offs. Gutting at the time but probably for the greater good.

#156 – Not a virus more
It’s Wednesday the 1st April, in todays show we review Neil Critchleys first two games in charge with the nil-nil draw at Fleetwood and one-two home reverse to Tranmere. We also perform a “keep or dump” review of all the potentially outgoing players at the end of the season, debate and decide the two centre forward berths as we conculde the team for the worst ever eleven and we muse over what we’re all missing about not be able to go to ‘Pool matches cause of this bloody virus.
Last match reviews
Fleetwood 0 – Blackpool 0
Neil Critchley’s reign as Blackpool manager began with a goalless draw away to Fylde coast neighbours Fleetwood, whose unbeaten run extended to 11 games.
Blackpool dominated the first period and Matty Virtue twice went close in the early stages, seeing an effort well saved by Alex Cairns and then driving a shot just off target. Fleetwood improved after the restart and Paddy Madden headed Lewie Coyle’s smart cross narrowly wide.
