November 12, 20232 yr Really big win yesterday. the togetherness of the players when we score is just superb. 24000 in division 3 ! can’t believe we got so many booked and yet they rotated fouls on Sheehan all afternoon. a goal fit to win any match. loved it and drank the night away.

Yeah I went out the hotel car park and there were barriers all along to try to stop the fans mixing so imagine they made any Blackpool fans who had parked on middlebrook go to the main road and then back along the narrow ginnel next to tesco that the Bolton fans all stream along... bright these police
November 12, 20232 yr Absolute joke. Going to an away game at a big ground is hard enough for away fans, but police seem to make it worse by directing away fans to go as far out of their way as possible, its happened to us many times and its no fun.

We left the ground at the crazy corner exit & walked up next to that steepish grass bank that leads up the road to what was Fort Sterling and there was loads of Blackpool fans coming in the opposite direction (towards the ground & heading towards the club shop) They weren’t Uber youth looking for trouble, more like families & couples. Most Whites fans heading that way were buzzing and some were in full voice/gloat mode, the Blackpool fans walking straight into us looked fuckin terrified. Never once in over 25 years seen away fans heading in that direction after a game. Could be a recipe for disaster if the wrong ‘uns ever did the same route. So had they been to the game? It sounds like they're walking back to the ground..

Absolute madness. If they continue to force away fans in that direction its going to go badly wrong one day
November 12, 20232 yr Some Blackpool were parked on the retail park so I assume just walking that way back to their cars

Even weirder was about 20/25 maybe of their youth who were looking for trouble (to some degree) ended up walking up behind Vue chanting away merrily and then ended up going up that narrow path up the side of St Josephs. They started the old Sea,Sea,Seasiders stuff when they were totally boxed in, someone told them to shut the fuck up and they all turned around and slunk back down the path.

To be fair, it happens at most of our away grounds too. If you aren’t parked on officially designated parking then you pretty much become a small group swimming against the tide. Fortunately, we’re no longer in the 1970s and the amount of CCTV

Don't forget, not so long ago, that the club thought it would as a good idea to inconvenience home fans at the final whistle by doing the same thing.

I could here them as i was crossing the road to get to the path, by the time I got there they were all just stood round looking at each other wondering where they should go. Made right tits of themselves.

Truth is it's all they know now, its here to stay, KK?
November 13, 20232 yr Author The only bantz me or my lads haven't been able to escape is how utterly shite and flat our support was till we scored. Must admit they are right, it was strangely quiet and I'm still not sure why.
