So yesterday saw the biggest game of Blackpools season. The local derby - Preston North End (or Preston Knob End as blackpool fans refer to them) away from home. If Blackpool managed to win they would all but guarantee their safety in
the Championship for another season and also put any promotion hopes for their biggest rivals to bed yet again. Games like this do not come around too often and to be missing it was truely galling. This made worse by the fact that Preston had allocated Blackpool the whole Tom Finney Stand - 5,500 tickets - thus ensuring an awesome atmosphere. Unfortunately the only option for me was to tune in via internet radio. in order to get into the spirit of things I decorated my flat in an appropriate manner. Sad to have missed it but their will be more days like this next season when I'm home. Particularly if Newcastle get relegated!
