Did anyone notice near the back of the Blackpool Programme, they had a nice cosy little article detailing an interview with the referee before the game? The usual bland comfortable questions were asked such as 'When did you first referee at Bloomfield Road, how did you find the atmosphere' etc etc. .......No doubt, the inteview took place in an exce suite, complimentary tea and biscuits with a wee dram thrown in for good measure. Nice to suck up to the ref just prior to a game hey?? No doubt this had no influence on the number of free kicks he gave them, particularly whenever Macken and Odejayi made a challenge for the ball. Surely, such contact wih the refreee from either team before the game is against the rules?
They must not give an arse about selling them because I walked all around the ground and didn't see one prgramme seller. However there was a lad selling them just as you entered the away end of the 'arena' (FFS, what a dump!).
RE: I didnt see anyone selling them either Reading it, is like reading 'War and Peace' it's that bloody thick. Mindst yer, £3.50 is still a lot for what is. after all, a glorified glossy magazine (minus the tits).
