In Opposition – Squires Gate
Squires Gate were formed in 1948 as Squires Gate British Legion FC and competed in the Blackpool & District Amateur League. ‘Gate’ are therefore celebrating their 75th season in 2023.
Managed by Luke Evans, the club has gone through quite significant change in recent years starting with the Covid pandemic, and the passing of chairman Tony Jo resulting in the club on just surviving during the summer of 2022.
Despite these troubles, the club has maintained its position in the Premier Division of the league, finishing 20th last season and avoiding the relegation trap door by five points. For more historical information on our visitors, click HERE.
