Is Blackpool's pitch their best friend?

They have lost far fewer games at home than they have away. Being familiar with that awful surface must be an advantage. How many points would they be adrift with a respectable pitch?

How are we going to fair after the Amex rugby?

Not sure whether it's the familiarity or the fact that you can't play football on it, so each games becomes a bit more of a lottery.

The Amex will be fine after the rugby; it's only 2 games.

In recent weeks Blackpool have beaten Millwall and now Brighton at home. Both huge results, they may not be enough to keep them up but they could certainly help damage the other teams' hopes of survival.

Just sounds like a very, very bad day at the office. Poor defeat to a poor side, poor referee, poor pitch, poor other results, write it off as quickly as possible and need to get straight back at it for the next game. Because of the terrible first half of the season there is just no margin for error or room for complacency.

Genuine question - a stupid one perhaps, as I probably haven't been paying attention and is presumably linked to the protests - but what happened to their Premier League money?

Did they even bother to fix their infamous shambles of a training ground?

Why do you think the Blackpool fans want Oyston & his father out of the club?

Where have you been these last few years?

A poor side defeating another poor side.

Were Blackpool playing on better pitch..Home sides always have and always will prepare pitch to suit...Look at Indians in Karachi (or pakistan)or Aussies at Sydney for cricket...
Chelsea moaned about Bradford pitch...Not a prem billiard table...Hats off to Bradford for having a pitch not suiting opposition. Also Blackpool?
