Let me do it properly 😂
Jack Facts
Swansea City haven’t beaten Blackpool in the last seven meetings, the last game was played on the 23rd March 2010. Blackpool won 5-1. This is the first meeting between the two sides in eleven years.
Factual Blackpool
Blackpool first played in their tangerine strip in the opening game of the 1923/24 season, a 2-2 draw with Oldham Athletic. The colour had been suggested by then director Albert Hargreaves (later club chairman) who was also an international referee. He had been refereeing an international game between Holland and Belgium when he recommended that the Dutch colours would suit Blackpool as being uniquely distinctive among English club colours. The change to tangerine for the 1923/24 season was not the club’s first change of colours because prior to then Blackpool had played in blue and white stripes and white shorts, red shirts and white shorts, red shirts with a white horizontal stripe and white shorts and for a short period at the start of the First World War a bizarre colour scheme of red, yellow and blue striped shirts and white shorts! Immediately before the change to tangerine the club played in white shirts and black shorts.
That’s interesting isnt it ?
Swansea also played in a variety of tangerine strips from 1959 to 1970
Okay, why is Blackpool called Blackpool. According to Wisden the cricket book for Yorkshire people, and named after Norman Wisden son of Mr Grimsdale the following is the reason. In medieval days before last year, an historic drainage channel on the coast on the site of where Blackpool would be was seen running over a peat bog, which discharged discoloured water into the Irish Sea. Hence the name Blackpool. ‘Le Pul’ We continue.
Swansea City v Blackpool Sky Bet Championship fixture on Saturday has been selected for overseas coverage by Pitch International. Set to be shown live by multiple broadcasters across Europe, Asia, North America and throughout the world, the match will therefore be unavailable to stream live internationally on Tangerine TV or Swans TV in countries covered by the EFL’s global television rights deal.
Did you know he signed it with one T ?

 Swansea City undone by the referee but credit to Blackpool 21st Nov 2021 09:45You cant say Russell Martin wasn’t warned pre match of his opposition number Neil Critchley and his ability to change tactic mid game. Not only that to set his side up to nearly always get something from an away game in the EFL. He did it again yesterday at Swansea as the Seasiders took a point from an exciting clash at the Swansea.Com stadium. 0
The Referee ?
 Is it only incompetence again ? Swansea City file video evidence to EFL 21st Nov 2021 08:16Once again and exactly as per last season Swansea City find themselves in a position whereby clear and obvious penalty decisions, and in game refereeing decisions are costing the side points. Steve Cooper opened up on the issue last year accusing Andrew Woolmer of ‘cheating’ and now Russell Martin is getting the same treatment. 0

Peach of a strike by Piroe - he’s a gem.
Neither was a penalty - the second appeal looked like it but I think VAR would have shown it wasn’t. Swans need to stop falling down, and get on with the game. There’s no need for it - we’re better than that.
Anyway, justly in the lead against a useful looking side. |  | | |
