Description:Blackpool Football Club supporters were distraught when the first club bearing that name folded after one game of the 1886/87 season, particularly as that left their bitter rivals, South Shore FC, as the senior club on the Fylde Coast. It was no surprise, therefore, that when the 1886/87 season ended, a number of supporters got together to discuss the formation of a new 'Blackpool Football Club'. A number of the original club's players had moved to Blackpool St John's FC so it was more or less a matter of course that the discussions about a new team would take place in the Blackpool St John's schoolroom in July 1887. Unfortunately the autocratic president of St John's, the Reverend Norman Jeffrey was determined that his club would always retain its denominational title and would not submit to becoming a club with just the town's identity. This resulted in a rift between the two parties and those supporting a reformed town team adjourned to the next door Stanley Arms where a fresh meeting was begun. The result on this occasion was overwhelmingly for a 'Blackpool Football Club' to be formed for the 1887/88 season. 'Phoenix from the Ashes' looks at the ramifications involved in the formation of the new club and then follows its progress through its first season, in which, much to the delight of the town and the club's supporters, two Cups were won in a successful campaign.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
