Joe's Tangerine Trail Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This Tangerine Trail is the journey I have walked each match day for many years to see my home team perform and these caches are an acknowledgement from me of some of the men of Blackpool Football Club who have made the club what it is today.
Unfortunately whilst the Oystons still own MY club I will no longer be walking this route.
35 mm canister.
Joseph "Joe" Smith: 25 June 1889–11 August 1971
Joe Smith was Blackpool manager from August 1935 for the next 23 years. Joe managed some great times at Bloomfield Road and some great players such as Bobby Finan, who scored 34 goals to get Blackpool back in the First Division in 1937 with Joe's team at the top the league at the start of the war with £10,000 record-signing Jock Dodds. In the early 1950s Joes forward line of Mortensen Matthews and Mudie was responsible for three cup finals with the 1953 FA Cup Final win being his finest hour, although out of his 23 seasons with the Seasiders, 21 were spent in the top division. When Joe resigned in 1958, at the age of 68, the Blackpool board bought him a house in the town as a way of saying thanks.
This journey is Muggle Mayhem as this is the main parking area for visitors to Blackpool ... be prepared :+).
Joe’s cache is a camouflaged 35mm film can, and can be done as a Cache and Dash if you're quick about it. Sat Navs accuracy may be affected by metal and telephone mast, so use the clue.
