Who’da thunk it staying in the “Blackpool FC Stadium Hotel”?!

I could've course be wrong but that could be a rather eccentric SK3-dwelling Blackpool fan*, resplendent in many orange pin badges, who I got talking to in the cafe at Morrissons Cheadle a little while back (Jim Gannon being obviously unavailable that day). A decent enough type, but I'd say his estimation of his 'local' club is way out on this occasion. Recall watching the 2010 Play Off Final (when Blackpool beat Dave Jones' Cardiff) in the Royal Oak sat next to a Blackpool fan with her young son, so another candidate for EdgeleyTangerine. Good God we need to watch this, they'll be petitioning for their own mural.

Highlights WITH JK commentary 'Barry's got two for company but he darts between them. Edge of the box, past a third. Past four! Its Barry. Its wonderful! It's absolutely wonderful!' That, by the way, is a piece of commentary. I don't know that I've heard a solo goal so eloquently, concisely and dramatically relayed in real time since Archie Gemmill vs Holland in 1978. Proper hairs on the back of the neck stuff. Bravo, JK.

Thing is, if you starting supporting football 10-15 years ago, you're possibly going to regard us as non-league upstarts. That's on you for not knowing some basic Football League history, but if you're a teenager I can sort of understand it. But then, some don't even know their own history. Like the Barrow fans on the Pop Side who, in the NL, sang 'Football League, and you f*cked it up', only to look confused when they got it sung back at them. TBF they are from Barrow and they weren’t in Barrow…..of course they were confused!

I,d been a football fan for about 5 years when peterborough were elected to the league but never thought of them being non league upstarts. Same with scunny who were not around long as a league club when i started watching. Both had better grounds than most unlike some of those traditional non league clubs have we see around nowadays.

Over the course of my years, I've met several people with alligiences to Chelsea. How strong those allegiances were is debatable but some claimed to be die hard fans who were going to Stamford Bridge when they were shit before the Russian turned up. Recently I got chatting to a lady who was an ex employee of the club. I always gleefully ask them if they know anything about Chelsea's first ever game which, as every County fan knows, was a defeat on Edgeley in 1905. I've never ever met a single Chelsea fan who knows this pretty basic fact about their club. I find this pretty remarkable as in the film, When Saturday Comes (*) the character that Reece Dinsdale plays had to learn every single fact about fictional club, Shadwell Rovers (*) in order to infiltrate their notorious hooligan gang as an undercover copper. As this film was loosely based on West Ham's ICF & Chelsea's Head Hunters you'd expect every true fan of Chelsea would know the history of their club inside out. * I'm pretty sure that's the film and the name of the fictitious football club but I could be wrong on both counts.

The film was called ID, think your right about the club being called Shadwell though.

Shadwell Town.
When Saturday Comes was another football film but not one about violence AFAIR. Sean Bean in that one.

Shadwell Town. When Saturday Comes was another football film but not one about violence AFAIR. Sean Bean in that one. Yep, defo Shadwell. Which is a real place in London, just south of Whitechapel. But I think the ground scenes for the film were all done at Millmoor.

Correct Millmoor was used & the film was loosely based on on the experiences of James Bannon an undercover cop who infiltrated Millwall's firm. He wrote a book on his experience called 'Running with the firm'. Not a bad read.
