Last day of the season thread, not involving town

[Reg Smeeton]

Blackpool in the play offs, some job Holloway has done there.

No one wanted him here!!

Here's a thread back from a couple of years ago, about who we thought might be new boss...no-one has really slagged off the prospect of Holloway, quite a few other than JJ in favour.

No-one mentions Wilson...who I suppose was still at HPool at the time.

Heard if Blackpool were to go up, they'd have to consider ground-sharing with Preston

Rubbish. Same crap was said about Fratton Park.

They might have to finally build the away end though.

Is it still that wooden nonsense down the side of the pitch? I was there for the 2-2 game when Sammy Igoe got Sent off and Parkin scored twice. Got absolutely soaked that day!!

They've just opened the third stand - one more to go. They've suffered massively from keeping the purse strings tight so they could build the thing so it's good to see them challenging. About time they got the redevelopment finished though!

Even Craven Cottage was allowed in the Premier League when they had massive old style terraces.

I chatted to a Villa fan who went down there and he said it was dangerous that season, because there was no segregation between the seats and the stand, so the vast majority of the Villa fans wanted to take up what was (probably) their last chance to stand at a top flight league game.

Terracing is the only reason I could see a ground not being allowed in the top flight. Even then I could see it being permitted for a couple of seasons if it was just a home fans terrace.

I cannot see that, sounds like a rumour spread about by jealous Preston fans, because that would be akin to us groundsharing with Bristol City or even Poxford.
