Roker Round Up

Just in case you missed any of our great features this week, here's a list of what we did. There's a whole lot more to come too!

Fan Focus: SAFC v NUFC Post-Match Views with Pete Donaldson

What followed later that day needs little introduction. Darren Bent's transfer request and subsequent move to Aston Villa. We reacted immediately with this article, where we tried to get to the bottom of just why this happened...

Fringe Benefits

Thursday we also brought the views of John Campbell (no relation to DJ) our resident Blackpool fan, to get his thoughts ahead of Saturdays clash, in our fantastic feature, Fan Focus!
