I just had a thought and I only ever went on the Kop through that Juniors' gate.
Not much social distancing going on there considering what the stewards tried to make us do in the groundWembley trip home 30/05/21 after gruelling day in the limousine.
It’s so hard supporting us sometimes

The keeper looks familiar
My first years were through that turnstille.I just had a thought and I only ever went on the Kop through that Juniors' gate.
I went with my Dad in the South paddock (East side). However, whilst my dad entered the ground through the south (east corner) turnstile, I had to go in through a Scratching shed turnstile, just where the road goes round from Henry Street to Back Henry Street.Yep, they used to separate kids from parents at the turnstile. I always hoped my dad would be there inside when I got through!

No mate sorry.Any idea of the date and game?
Obviously a slightly better footballer than me but at 61 that's convinced me using just for men is still the way forward.
When did people stop tying their laces under their boots? I remember doing just that with my boots.
Pre-1929.Found on FB.
A very very busy day on North Pier! Great old pic of Blackpool from the early 1900s.
Looking at the clothes and hats, I'd say Edwardian times, pre WW1Pre-1929.
Yes that seems a good shout. I was just referring to when the big wheel was pulled downLooking at the clothes and hats, I'd say Edwardian times, pre WW1
I don’t remember Larry May ever playing for Blackpool, let alone being our record signing. I checked and he joined Brighton after he left Sheff Wed.
I think there was a youth team player in the mid 70's with the surname May who was a defender. Got a feeling he also played a few reserve games but never signed as a professional for Blackpool. Dunno his first name though.I don’t remember Larry May ever playing for Blackpool, let alone being our record signing. I checked and he joined Brighton after he left Sheff Wed.

I am struggling to identify our opponents from the strip they are wearing, if anybody can identify the opponents I could come up with the date. The season is 1966/67 and the date is between August 1966 and Feb 1967.Any idea of the date and game?
Not Leicester Southampton or Arsenal as he did not play in those home games. Looking at the pitch which seems not too worn and the fact he is wearing a long sleeve shirt not a short sleeve I would go for a before the end of the year match but not early season.. Plenty of fans on the Kop so probably not the Fulham match as they didn't bring many. Maybe late September v Man City.Does anybody know the year this photo was taken?

There was a Jon May who played 4 League games as a defender for Blackpool in the 1978/79 season and shortly afterwards joined Exeter City.I think there was a youth team player in the mid 70's with the surname May who was a defender. Got a feeling he also played a few reserve games but never signed as a professional for Blackpool. Dunno his first name though.
He failed a medical, bit previous of the club and the Gazette.I don’t remember Larry May ever playing for Blackpool, let alone being our record signing. I checked and he joined Brighton after he left Sheff Wed.
