BBC Radio Lancashire and BBC Radio London to bring live Blackpool v Bromley League One coverage
Match date:
Blackpool v Bromley in League One will be available on BBC Radio Lancashire with Gary Hunt reporting, while BBC Radio London will also carry the game with Mark Taylor on commentary. Kick-off at Bloomfield Road is scheduled for 15:00 BST, with BBC Sport listing the fixture among its League One coverage for the afternoon.[1][7][12]
The match comes with both clubs still feeling their way through the early part of the campaign. BBC Sport’s live statistics page shows Blackpool starting the fixture on 7 points and Bromley on 4, with Blackpool having scored 9 goals compared with Bromley’s 4.[1][2] Those numbers point to a contest in which Blackpool have been the more productive side going forward, although Bromley’s lower total also reflects the fact that they are adapting to a highly competitive division.[1][2]
There is also a recent meeting between the clubs to consider. BBC Sport reported that Blackpool beat Bromley 2-0 in FA Cup action at Hayes Lane in October 2023, with Karamoko Dembele among the scorers.[9] That result will offer the home side some encouragement, although this League One meeting has a different context and Bromley’s progression since then means the previous cup tie should be treated as only a reference point rather than a guide.
For listeners wanting a sense of the match-up, Sports Mole’s pre-game analysis rated Blackpool as the likelier winners, giving them a 48.16% chance of victory, compared with 26.55% for Bromley and 25.29% for a draw.[6] Their predicted most likely scoreline was 1-0 to Blackpool, which underlines how closely contested the fixture is expected to be.[6]
Gary Hunt is a familiar voice to Blackpool followers through BBC Radio Lancashire’s local football coverage, where the station regularly follows the club closely as part of its Lancashire sport output.[12] Mark Taylor is likewise a known BBC radio name on football coverage for London audiences, and his involvement gives BBC Radio London listeners a route into the game as Bromley continue to attract broader attention after moving up into the EFL picture.[12]
BBC Sport’s League One coverage remains a useful touchpoint for supporters who want text updates, live stats and post-match analysis alongside radio commentary.[7][8] The broadcaster’s team pages also note that it covers all 24 League One clubs, which helps explain why a fixture such as Blackpool v Bromley receives attention across multiple BBC outlets.[8]
Bloomfield Road, meanwhile, provides the setting for a match that should have plenty at stake for both sides. With Blackpool trying to turn stronger attacking numbers into points and Bromley looking to test themselves against established EFL opposition, the radio coverage on BBC Radio Lancashire and BBC Radio London should offer a clear line into what promises to be a competitive afternoon.
