Cost of Survival

Blackpool – home to the big dipper, the illuminations and a tower. And, for a short time only, Premier League football. For despite humiliating Wigan on the opening day, Blackpool’s prospects (somewhat at odds with some of the town’s more, erm, glamorous attractions) look bleak. Shipping four goals to League One opposition last night will [...]
