Looks like a nice weather day today, just a shame the ticket restrictions in place, otherwise we could have easily taken 6k today possibly more, sadly I’ll be watching on the dodgy feed. Those with tickets enjoy the day and help the lads bring back the 3 points. 

Think there will be a lot there without tickets and I have tickets for there end don’t think I will be the only one

I know loads going without tickets, I’d rather watch the game than go on the piss round blackpool. I’d expect a few in the Blackpool end as well. Enjoy and keep safe.

Yes I remember all those 80s games, a great atmosphere in the away end every time and we played well generally (not like some of the meltdowns we've had at other local grounds).  That Sherpa Van semi, we were comfortably winning it 1-0 when Craig Madden went racing through towards our end and got "tackled" on the edge of the box by Winstanley.  Penalty given, we went ballistic.  An excuse to dig out one of Dave Higson's all time finest commentary, I don't think Dave thought it was in the box:

 

I think Dave Higson thinks it was outside the area! Was there that night, simply fantastic!

If you're not going tot he game, why the fuck would you want to spend a February Saturday afternoon in Blackpoo?

That was the conclusion I came up with, I really don’t like the place. 

I love Blackpool, doesn't take itself too seriously, people are generally lovely, nice chippies. It's actually nicer in winter I think. Although mid week I've seen some sights on work trips - there's some serious poverty in the centre from what I've seen on my brief visits.

But give me Blackpool over somewhere like Brighton any day of the week.

It's less shit in Winter because the (generally) lovely person to knobhead/scotchman ratio favours the more lovely mature visitor I reckon.

We took some people with work  before Christmas and had agreat, if coldand blowy day.

Mum and dad always go for a week just before Christmas, they love it. Nice walks along the front, good food. Can't remember what hotel they go to be it's one of those all inclusive for retired folk packages.

Surprised Rico’s straight back in I thought he may start on the bench and come in after 70 or so but I suppose with Taylor injured we need that big guy in the middle. Great to see Ian start with Bod and Carlos again too so let’s hope they can pull it off? Some bench that now though. 😁
