Blackpool 2-0 Preston: Crazy Crowds & Police **Foul Language** 

Great to see Blackpool on match day. As a kid I attended a school for disabled kids near Motherwell, in Scotland. John McPhee transferred to Blackpool from Motherwell FC, in the 60's and invited kids from my residential school to Blackpool every March, for at least 10 years. Highlight was always a Blackpool FC home game

My partner was a Response Officer there today...said it was a great atmosphere. He got home safe haha .

Thank you Stephen. Always a pleasure watching you. I'm learning a lot of streets in Blackpool. We'll done winning against Preston.

I actually... Finally made it to Blackpool last thursday. Inspired by your videos, and got to meet up with family who still live there. Had a wonderful (if somewhat painful due to my disability) day. Got to see a very nice sunset, and the illuminations. So, thank you for inspiring me to return after over 8 years. I did not take any cameras, didn't feel like lugging my D750 or my D5600 around, but I did capture a gorgeous picture of the tower all lit up with my cellphone, while waiting for the coach back home. The lens fogged up, and made it all smearly, which actually, in my opinion, made it an interesting picture.

Hi Steven, great coverage...you are like a news reporter !!!

I usually watch your videos, but I never write a comment, so today I want to let you know that your vlogs are fascinating. Greetings from the end of the world, Argentina.

The intelligence of people is so sad all over a football match

Hi. I was in Blackpool September 2019. A long way from Australia I had a look around Bloomfield road while I was there. Brings back memories. Love the videos. Cheers

Wow. That was a busy afternoon ! Thank you for uploading Stephen.

Another fab and informative video Steven, keep 'em coming and thanks for posting!

Thanks for uploading Steve, great video keep up the good work pal

Enjoyed this one Mate 💯 Love to see the Oyston video if possible? Great local knowledge as well👍

something very satisfying about this channel. not sure what it is but , it's great and proper relaxing. love from Manchester

Blackpool is very popular for an away match and time on the Fylde Coast.....unless you are Preston North End or Fleetwood Town.Last time I was near Bloomfield Road on a match day a few years ago,Wycombe Wanderers fans had made the long journey for the match and were looking forward to a good weekend break there too . Thanks for posting and greatest respects and affection and thanks to Jimmy Armfield always, from a Leeds United fan .

Great stream Steven I am very impressed how you stay so calm around all that is going on. We live in Manchester my husband is a Manchester United fan and I am a Manchester City fan, no way would I go and film a derby in Manchester as I would not feel safe even with the amount of police about. We are hopefully moving to Fleetwood in November and we cannot wait to relocate, this will be our last house move. Keep posting your streams as they are so interesting and entertaining. Well done you and stay safe.

Epic vlog x love your commentary you certainly captured the atmosphere of the Derby

I'm a coventry city fan and would like to say thank you, I'm on a banter group and this Preston fan is weirdly obsessed over us really happy you put those Preston fans under their rocks we had a rivalry today fights we're kicking off in the CBS Arena pyros going off, Derby fans smashing up our family pubs to find the coventry firm which I say is stupid seeing as they ran away from our youth PUSB. 😂

Well done Stephen & Blackpool!,, Rather you than me among that lot brave man 😁😁 Thought there might be some fireworks tonight cause somebody mentioned it on your live chat but looks like they've finished cause you'd have let us know.Well done again & take care😁😁😘

That was great to watch Steve....being a football fan that was better than local radio 😄👌

Great video as always. Loving the send off.

Great video Stephen thanks for sharing it....I'm hoping Liverpool fans will be feeling the same later today but not holding my breath lol.👍

Nice one Stephen ⚽️ I seem to remember the old football ground that was by a couch park it looks a lot different now tho 👍

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always well done blackpool amazing win nice to see happy fans take care xx

Great Video fella. Love watching your videos. Looking forward to our visit to Bloomfield with Stoke next week.

Love ur videos keep on keeping on bro. Rich (Glasgow)

As a Coventry City fan this video was great I’m going to come here next season when we play Blackpool away good video. PUSB

Great video and a good atmosphere on match day, great to see. Thankyou

Thank you Stephen I loved it 🔥💯❤️

Our famous team in Tangerine!!! Great vid!!!! 🍊

Hey Steve. you are a star ! Your vids are awesome. Well done mate !! Be careful out there , I worry about you sometimes when you are out and about !

Good coverage Stephen 👍 enjoy your weekend 😊 Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁

Another crazy turn out interesting to watch when you don’t get involved with anything like it. Thank You Stephen x

Bit like the famous derby in Scotland Stephen, great video again, sorry I haven’t been commenting lately, just some health problems at home with my Mrs. Kind regards Stephen. Johnny

I saw all the coaches been escorted by police into Blackpool police HQ and some had broken windows.

We have our motorhome parked in seasiders, deliberately stayed away from the van at match time. Were you out and about on the promenade last night? I've never seen it so busy, so good to see people enjoying themselves

That was mint m8 well covered you did a brilliant footy style video 📹 👌

This is Wonderful Tour. This place is perfect for MyWalking VLogs. Love from London. Emma

Bloomfield Road has changed a lot since I last visited in the early 80s as a Wigan Athletic fan when we played you in the FA Cup.

Finally got around to watching this one sir! I think the derby match again is great for the local area! Albeit it trouble with certain people, but you would like to think it would reunite the local community. I’m a Walsall fan but been up to Bloomfield Road and Deepdale in the past. Both great clubs. The “new” Bloomfield Road is certainly far different to the old!! Have you any pictures of the old Bloomfield Road? Great video sir. Do you attend any games? Keep up the great work. 👍

I hope you do the return fixture, and film this type documentary around the city centre, down meadow Street and along Deepdale Rd, right up to the stadium. I think I'd be a fascinating, huge success. This is a foot fixture that very few people understand.

Another excellent video & something different. 👍🏻

Hi Steven just to add I'm sure 2009/10 season Blackpool was in premier League as you say that both teams never been in. Great video though hats off to you. Your great better than local news reporters.. take care Steven stay safe and the great videos coming. X

I went to look at a property next to a paint shop literally 100 metres from the football ground, glad I didn't get it... I'm not sure I'd like living there. Thanks for the video Stephen!

Time you renewed your season ticket, Steve.

Love your videos!

It only takes beating preston to make people happy 😂

Been to a few games at Bloomfield Rd, when my team Peterborough United visit. Never seen it as busy as that.

nothern souls mecca deserves a bit better than a building site great walkthru,thx loved the flash pink limo

I stayed in a hotel down Bloomfield Road with my parents when I was little. It was called Hotel Concorde. Think it's private flats now

Obviously no shortage of Knobends .Out and about at the moment then Stephen? All The Best .Great Vlog.

We r in Blackpool , illuminations were lovely , fireworks were amazing , but omg took over hour to find parking space , then traffic was gridlocked all the way to Preston , so took 3 hrs to get back to our premier Inn in preston , getting there at 1215am omg , saw some you tubers out with their big cameras xx

For those local to the area, is there a noticeable difference between the accents of Blackpool and Preston?

Very enjoyable video will visit Blackpool again been a while👍🎡

South station was full of police when the Preston fans arrived by train…I bet the fans weren’t quite as high spirited when they left as they had been when they arrived 🤣 Lovely hearing the crowd in the stadium around the town once more and to see all the horses out…. it’s all a bit different from the fights that went on in the pubs afterwards when Blackpool and PNE played back in the 90’s.

Epic 👍👍👍👍

Thanx Stephen I remember Leicester city v Derby games they are our rivals. And Nottingham forest use to be trouble. Now Nottingham forest are in premier league not sure how fans gonna react

I used to watch Blackpool as a teenager. With a bobble hat, scarf and a rattle. Hardly ever saw a policeman.

Park road in marton I believe. Nice 1 one steve

Amazing clarity on that camera, wow

great vlog steve as usual

Oh my god theres foul language in this video

‘Fans going home and getting a nice send off, look at this’ I just cannot stop laughing! that was brilliant!

I find this all very weird. In Oz when we go to Rugby League games, the fans sit amongst each other and there is next to no trouble at all, and the only cops you see outside the ground are for traffic duty. Inside we have security, but that is to stop streakers.

I stood on the old away end on very wet windy Tuesday night back in the late 80's as a Wolves supporter......no roof on the away end,bloody freezing 😂

Three favourite blogs Walk on the Wildside & Sam's football adventures. He travels the length & breath of country visiting football clubs ie Rangers, Celtic, Arsenal, Kelty Hearts & Auckenlech Talbot. This week he is in Blackpool end for game away at Reading. He gives full run down on history of clubs & verdict on Stadia & talks to Supporters.

Great stream Stephen as always What a ridiculous amount of Police for a Championship game. Just imagine if Blackpool are back in the Premiership next season, they will have even more Police in attendance. I wonder who pays the Police Wages 🤔

Stanley Matthews used to play here.He transfered from Stoke City

I love your Videos.

Mecca was a great fun place back in the day .

I didn't know they had a football team or ground... Well done Blackpool

Big match and the fireworks, rock on

Hi steve . Great to see you today. Hope you enjoy yourself.

There was 2,000 prescum here on Saturday Freind .

I would like to see what’s round the back of the BLackpool North Station, all round there please

Hi Steven I am glad Blackpool won other wise there wold be trouble I live near Wembley I know what it’s like if they don’t win they start going crazy I love looking at your vlogs what would I do with out you showing me round black pool i love ❤️ your vlog thanks love Susan ❤️😁💕😮😄🤨😃😄😁😄😃😃

Brilliant video as usual. Treat yourself to a season ticket it’s rocking in the ground. Shame about the policing couldn’t organise a piss up. Never felt worried for a second inside or outside the ground till the Gestapo police started getting heavy handed. Sad end to a great day.

So funny, the guy out the car showing real venom in his finger gestures 🤣

Gives us a little walk and history on the colourful houses Stephen.

The fella who is sat out of the car window every credit just love that bit seaside aggro #utmp

The Mecca was big, great music, etc before pubs staying open late

good vid. WAS AT THE GAME sat.

Great vidio reminds me why i don't go.

Do you remember Brum going their in the 80s , Was very messy

Madness there’s so many police vans & horses!

It was so busy because of the fireworks show

No chances taken by police with this venue ,were sadly in previous times there has been 3 fatalities,over the years not going to say anything else ,except the ones that got it were from preston these matches ,are given highest priority obviously.

It was very similar against Blackburn 3 weeks ago

Love it brilliant 😂😂

Can't win without getting aggressive? Is that the way to treat visitors to your town? As he said: Mental

Go on Blackpool great win 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯❤️❤️❤️

My mum lives near the ground in hudson road would ne lovely if you walked down that road maybe i will see my mum and brother because i live abroad and miss them so much love your video.s Joanne Malta

thats nothing come to sheffield for the wednesday v united derby thats proper hate. neighbours and friends hating each other for a couple of days

Over a football game wow!

There was 15,000 at the match it holds more but due to police only allowing 2,000 prescum fans ,and a big clear area between both sets of fans ,to be honest it's shite management by police when ground can hold 17,600.

great video stephen nice to see a match with no trouble

I love the red brick that some of the houses are built in. I believe they call it Accrington Brick.

Knob giving it the big man in the silver corsa,laugh if the coach stopped and the fans piled out, guy would shit himself.

2013 was last time I was in Blackpool 😁

You never get this on Match of the Day!

Where are the brass houses these days Stephen are still nr mr bazzeri
