I've wondered where Fleetwood's fanbase developed from. I'd have thought Fleetwood people would have traditionally been Blackpool supporters. 

Is there a bitter rivalry?

Fleetwood have been around since 1908 but we've had a torrid history, the last incarnation was called Fleetwood Freeport and basically a pub league team, attached to the local park I was able to watch them from the park wall as a kid, probably why I wasnt really bothered with football growing up :lol:

 

This Fleetwood was formed in 1997 and has been historically our best team finishing 4th in league 1 in 2017. To answer your question, Fleetwood and Blackpool do hate each other but it's not as rabid as the Blackpool/Preston North End hatred. The "Fylde Coast derby" was scheduled for yesterday but postponed for the internationals, but it will be a tasty affair between the supporters.

I'd say it's more like the other way round, I lived in Fleetwood for 25 years and it's a close community and a good place to live in terms of it being quiet, however it's the biggest cul-de-sac in the country, only 1 way in and 1 way out and there's absolutely nothing to do there and barely any jobs so most move to Blackpool for work.

I worked at a school there for a week, went in to Fleetwood for a drink one night and it was very much as if everyone stopped talking, jukebox muted etc when we walked in this bar. We didn't stay long. Those rickety trams were a hoot though.

That's exactly what it's like :lol: everyone knows everyone and if they don't recognise your face they get wary. It's a local town, for local people.

This is Fernando Coco erasure. A point if you can name the German in goal that night who Karelse beat to a contract.

Francesco Coco :pow:

 

And surely Coco and Karelse didn't overlap did they? Thought Coco trial game was in like 2005 or something way after Karelse jooined

I fear you’ve made me look like a massive fraud here (and rightly so if accurate).

 

Edit: You fear for the Discman after this.
