    TLFS - Rounding off Burnley's season. Derek Adams leaves Morecambe to join Bradford City #18

    Hello and welcome to episode 18 of the Lancashire football show. Host, Ash is joined this week by Ben and Matt. Today the lads finally round off Burnley season. The Clarets finish in 17th place in the Premier League after a disappointing finish to the season. After securing their Premier League status for at least one more season when they beat Fulham, Burnley went on to lose their last 3 games. Can excuses be made? Has it been a really tough season, taking into account the scheduling of the games? After winning the play-off final with Morecambe, Derek Adams has left the club in a better place than when he first joined the club. The Shrimps will be playing in League One next season. Who should they appoint? Why did Adams leave?

    TLFS - Morecambe and Blackpool are both promoted! Play-off special mini series part 4. Episode #17

    Hello and welcome to the Lancashire football show, this is the final part of a mini special play-off series. Host, Ash is joined this week by Matt and the Ben. Both Morecambe and Blackpool have been promoted! Over the bank holiday weekend, Blackpool beat Lincoln City 2-1 in the League One play-off final. The Seasiders couldn't have gotten off to a worse start though. An Ollie Turton own goal put Blackpool 1-0 down within the first minute of the game. However, Kenny Dougall was Turton and Blackpool's hero. His double was enough to send Blackpool up and into the Championship. Morecambe played a day after Blackpool in the League Two play-off final. Their opponents were Newport County. There was a lot of talk before hand from fans about it being former Morecambe player Kevin Ellison vs The Shrimps manager Derek Adams after the two shared history. Ellison seemed to have been frozen out by Adams which led to Ellison moving on from the club that he has so much history with. And obviously, no one can forget Ellison's celebration back in March where he came over to Adams straight after scoring Newport's third in his sides 3-1 win over the Shrimps. However, as we now know it was Adams who will be the happier of the two right now after a penalty was given to Morecambe in extra-time. Star man, Carlos Mendes Gomes stepped up and scored from the spot. No reply from Newport meant that The Shrimps promoted into League One!  At the time of recording Derek Adams had been rumoured to be leaving Morecambe but nothing had been confirmed. We now know that the manager has left the club. This is something that the lads will be discussing in next weeks weekly episode.

    TLFS - Can Burnley beat Liverpool again this season and put a dent in their Champions League qualification hopes? Preston North End appoint Frankie McAvoy on a permanent deal. The right choice? #14

    Hello and welcome to episode 14 of the Lancashire football show. Host, Ash is joined this week by Ben and Matt. This week they looked at Burnley's recent 4-0 loss to Leeds United whilst also looking ahead to their clash with Liverpool. Despite the overall stats in the game being fairly even, Burnley were thumped 4-0 by Leeds. A poor showing from The Clarets won't be what Sean Dyche was hoping for. What went wrong? And Liverpool are hoping to Leapfrog Leicester or Chelsea, or possibly even both team's (depending on results), they need a win at Turf Moor to do so. Elsewhere Preston North End's season might be over but the off the field stuff is never over. Frankie McAvoy has been appointment by PNE on a permanent deal. Is he the right man for the job? They did finish off the season strong, the stats don't lie. To see what the lads had to say have a listen to this episode.

    Hello and welcome to the Lancashire football show, this is the first part of a mini special play-off series. Host, Ash is joined this week by Ben, Matt and Callum. First and foremost, as said in the podcast, everyone at The Lancashire Football Show wants to send out our thoughts, prayers and condolences to everyone who knew Jordan Banks, who sadly died this week. We can't imagine what his family and friends are going through, but on behalf of The Lancashire Football Show we are really sorry for you loss. Rest in peace Jordan. This week the lads are introducing a new mini series all about Morecambe and Blackpool's play-off journeys. Morecambe will face Tranmere in the League Two play-offs where if they progress through after the two legs they will face Newport County or Forest Green. Blackpool, in the League One play-offs will face Oxford United. If they progress through to the final, The Seasiders will face either Sunderland or Lincoln City. Next week again TLFS will release two episodes. On Monday they will focus on the outcome of Burnley's game with Leeds as well as looking at Preston North End and their recent appointment of Frankie McAvoy, who was announced as PNE's permanent manager after performing well following the sacking of Alex Neil. Again, next Friday TLFS will release part two of the mini special play-off series. This time they will know the result of both Morecambe's and Blackpool's first leg ties.

    TLFS - Morecambe face the playoffs as they just miss out on automatic promotion. Blackpool finish 3rd - now the favourites to win the playoffs in League One? Burnley can relegate Fulham tonight #12

    Hello and welcome to episode 12 of the Lancashire football show. Host, Ash is joined this week by Ben and Matt. This week is quite a unique week compared to others. We’ve seen the championship, League One and League Two all finish and come to an end this past weekend and we now know what lies ahead for the Lancashire clubs. However, its not the end of the road for Morecambe or Blackpool just yet, they both finished in the playoffs in their leagues. The lads touch on this a little bit in this episode.  Please note that coming out towards the end of this week will be a special additional Play Off episode where the lads will really analyse what lies ahead for the two clubs. As well as this they will be releasing season reviews for each of the Lancashire clubs, looking at their highs and lows and much more. These will again be additional episodes to their weekly uploads, so over the next week or two, TLFS listeners are going to be given a lot of extra content. And don’t worry their weekly episodes will still be going strong, with the playoffs happening, breaking news such as any managerial changes and of course Burnley still have a few games to go before their season finishes. To keep up to date with any new episodes follow their Twitter account - @TLancsFS. This week the lads spoke about all 7 Lancashire teams. For Accrington Stanley, Fleetwood Town, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End their seasons are now over. However, for Blackpool and Morecambe they've still go at least two games to go with the playoff semi-finals. Before the special playoff episode - that will be coming out later this week - Ash, Ben and Matt spoke about the teams most recent game and who they'll be facing in the playoffs. There will be much more to come on these playoff games with the Morecambe and Blackpool playoff special coming out soon. Burnley could relegate Fulham tonight, leaving the Clarets with three games left with no major pressure. This could allow Sean Dyche's men to express themselves a bit and will also allow Dyche and his team to relax a little bit. Although Burnley's safety if pretty much a given, Dyche won't want to wait another week or two to get over the line. Can the Clarets finish off what's not been a great season tonight? Could this kickstart a positive finish to the campaign? Finally, former Halifax Town, Chorley FC and most recently Clitheroe FC player James Dean has died, his body was found yesterday (Sunday). Everyone here at The Lancashire Football Show wants to send out their thoughts, condolences and prayers to all of James' family, friends, former team mates/managers and fans. Rest in peace James or as he was best known as 'Deano'.

    TLFS - Anything can happen going into the last game of the League 2 season with results going Morecambe's way. Are Blackpool favourites to win the playoffs? Burnley face a tough West Ham side #11

    Hello and welcome to episode 11 of the Lancashire football show. Host, Ash is joined this week by Ben, Matt and Callum. Last week their biggest talking points focused around; Morecambe's 1-0 loss to Bolton Wanderers, Preston North End picked up two big wins and Burnley faced off with Wolves. However, this week their biggest talking points were: The race for automatic promotion in League 2 is still ON! Despite Morecambe losing 1-0 to Bolton Wanderers last week, The Shrimps are back in the race going into the final game of League Two. Morecambe beat Walsall 2-0 and Bolton lost 2-1 to Exeter City meaning that there is just one point separating Bolton and Morecambe going into next weekend. If Bolton lose, Morecambe only need one point to get the automatic promotion spot as their goal difference is better then Bolton's. A very exciting and nerve racking week for the Shrimps fans. Blackpool beat Northampton Town 3-0 at the weekend. They were also victorious against Sunderland last Tuesday, that finished 1-0 again - for the second time in the space of 10 days. Those two wins over Sunderland last month could put them as favourites going into the playoffs. If Blackpool were to pick up maximum points from their last two games then they would actually finish above Sunderland. Being solid at the back seems to be the key for The Seasiders, can they maintain that over the next two games and put themselves in the best possible place heading into the playoffs? And Burnley face a tough West Ham side on Monday night. The Clarets will be in good spirits coming into this game, a brilliant 4-0 win against Wolves last week will have boosted Sean Dyches men. Hattrick hero on-the-day, Chris Wood, will be looking to add to his season tally. The three he scored last week has put him up at 11 goals for the season, could he get more goals before the season's done?
