  • Matchday Week 1:

    Blacksnape FC vs Much Hoole Spartans The playing fields, 15:00 kick off. Official: H. Khan. Attendance: about forty. The eagerly anticipated first game of the 2022-23 season in the NWCCDN, finally got underway. A home tie for the Tombers, I could hardly contain my excitement. There was a real buzz in the air as we…

  • Question and Answer

    About the strip / kit of Blacksnape FC. Before we start this post, I’d like to update the match information. We were hoping for a final pre-season friendly match today against Speccysavers United (one of those teams who have been taken over by a corporate owner… well a bloke with a glasses shop), but unfortunately…

  • Pre-season: Matchday 1

    Blacksnape FC vs Tockholes (pub team) Kick Off Friday 15th July 2022. The Playing Fields, Blacksnape. Well it was a sunny but a little breezy day for the first warm-up game of the pre-season. I woke up early, keen and excited to see how the players were shaping up after several weeks away from the…

  • Spotlight on… attack!

    Hello world-wide-web once again! And welcome to some pre-season analysis of Blacksnape FC’s attacking prowess. Eddie Livesey (Manager) clearly sees the attack line as an important area for improvement. I would agree, myself. From the performance last season the attacking third was the most in need of improvement, if you don’t consider needing to drastically…

  • Spotlight on… midfield.

    MF – Konnor Fenton MF – Jack Crompton MF – Nikos Nikolopoulou  MF – Paul Beamish MF – Stuart Waddicor Here we are again, safely back from the pub to ponder over the midfield and give you the benefit of our wisdom. Old Doug probably shouldn’t have insisted on the double brandy for the road,…

  • Spotlight on… defence.

    It is often said that the best form of defence is attack. I say ‘Buzzcocks’ to that, you need defenders. For the majority of last season, we would have asked for any form of defence, best or worst…just something would have been a start. I suppose we did begin to get a shape to defence…

  • New signings: summer 2022

Read on and fall in love with the non-league (editor note: my daughter added this bit, I think it sounds crud). The close season of the summer is always a quiet one for football. Well,…
