Yes, you can just see Black Combe on the left in the distance, overlooking Barrow. We used to climb up there in the 1960s when we lived on Walney IslandWell this is a pic I took on the same day on my crappy Huawei phone .

Anybody know who the other two players are sat next to Alan Brown & Hughie Kelly, I think they are Bolton Wanderers players as the one on the end looks like Roy Hartle?I would love a copy of this photo, my wife’s grandfather, Jimmy Haslam (a BFC Director) is the person wearing the black bowler hat sat on the front row immediately behind Alan Brown

The cover of which depicts a famous victory of 5-1 over Sheff Utd with Tony Currie et al..
I was at that game in the South Paddock. Couldn't see much beyond the area .
I don't think so. The 5 1 win was at their ground later that season.The cover of which depicts a famous victory of 5-1 over Sheff Utd with Tony Currie et al..

You're right - my bad. Still, Tony Currie wasn't happy!I don't think so. The 5 1 win was at their ground later that season.
Thats taken at Borough Park. Wonder what the occasion was and why it was there and not Bloomfield Road.View attachment 4633
Brucie in a pool kit!
Think it was a “show biz” charity game but don’t know the year. It is Borough Park - used to be our home ground for a while when I played for Central Working Men’s in the Sunday Alliance - felt like a pro playing in that stadiumThats taken at Borough Park. Wonder what the occasion was and why it was there and not Bloomfield Road.
I was on the Kop & joined in with the chant "fuck off you fog"I was at that game in the South Paddock. Couldn't see much beyond the area .
Correct fess & I can proudly say I was one of only a handful of Pool fans there. Me & a school mate went with his gran & grandad in their car. Surreal evening. Vaguely remember their striker (Edward's?) may have even put them one up?I don't think so. The 5 1 win was at their ground later that season.
How scared do those 2 blokes on the left look !!!
I think I can spot OO third from the back top row. Supporter since he was 2, did you know?
Bet he had a good game, good game.View attachment 4633

Do you think the players in the box were going Higher, Lower as he took the corner?Bet he had a good game, good game.
Remember that game very well,we decided to stay in the bar behind the South Stand seats as we couldn’t see a thing!
I was also sat in the south for that game wasn't blackpool borough playing at home that afternoon in a live tv game ?
JPSCup semi. Possibly against Leigh?I was also sat in the south for that game wasn't blackpool borough playing at home that afternoon in a live tv game ?
Remember that one. Was in the scratchers.I was at that game in the South Paddock. Couldn't see much beyond the area .
Looking at the mid to late 50s team I think they were the best in terms of top half finishes.1956/57. No Morty but we still had Ernie Taylor.
Mathews, Perry, Farm and Mudie1956/57. No Morty but we still had Ernie Taylor.
I was on the Kop. Think there was a cheer from the South Paddock at one point and half the Kop started celebrating a goal.Remember that one. Was in the scratchers.
I think I can see Sam Ellis and Sam allardyce in Sir Stan's knees!!!A young Wizard nicked from John Cross.

The physio is Johnny Lynas, I think. Did a lot of work on my mum's dodgy ligaments. Oo...err

I think it's the angle. You can see the fence that split the Kop from the scratchers. You could pay extra to transfer across.Great photo. Was the Scratchers' roof extended later? Surely it was.
I think it may have been looking at this pic,not 100% though ,maybe @Davepick will know.Great photo. Was the Scratchers' roof extended later? Surely it was.
