Is Blackpool's pitch their best friend?

[ringmerseagulltoo]

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?

That pitch is ridiculous.

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.

Fine, because unlike Blackpool - we actually invest in our club and run it properly. We will get the right people in to sort the pitch.

It will be fine there is only a few games left after the rugby and they will relay the pitch in the summer

what happened to their Premier League money?

 

[Tooting Gull]

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?

But there's also 2 big games in September being played on it (2015 world cup )

A poor side defeating another poor side.

what's all this crap about the pitch ? Bournemouth managed to bag six on it !!

 

[Diablo]

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?

Absolutely...All this blaming the pitch rubbish is bloody embarrasing.Fact is the players and negative tactics was why we lost the game and nothing else.

Karanka is putting in an official complaint to the League about the state of the pitch, as it injured two players.
