Horwich Scum vs Blackpool, Premier League Saturday 27th November 2010. kick-off 3:00pm On Saturday Blackpool take on Horwich (I have had to put their official name in the thread title, but I can't put it in here, so apologies to any fans of the club who read this). For many fans this is the game they have wanted. Whilst the local rival club is PKE as they are only 17 miles away, the rivalry with Horwich for older fans is bigger and more volatile. There will be close to 5,000 Tangerine Army at Horwich (they don't play in Bolton, their ground is in Horwich) and the atmosphere will no doubt be heated. They are also having a good season unfortunately and it will be a difficult game. Never Forgive, Never Forget.
Ian Holloway on the game tomorrow. Video of his weekly press conference: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid81237448001?bclid=81231779001&bctid=688331673001
Chris Basham and Marlon Harewood will both miss the game. Basham was injured in this weeks reserve game against Blackburn Rovers and Harewood will be out for about six weeks following a training ground injury. He will be a big loss given that he is our leading goal scorer.
