gonzo Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 i'm going to blackpool with my kids I just meant if you didnt fancy going straight into the mixer and being rounded up like cattle and herded to ground from the train station,getting off a stop or two before maybe an option,same for after the game,to avoid all the madness at blackpool north,you could get taxi to poulton,have a few civilised pints and get the train home from there... Like alot of away fans do in chorley en route to and from the reebok and we did at wembley the other week....
MickyD Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 i'm going to blackpool with my kids I hope there's not many of those hooligan types out to spoil my family's fun day at the seaside!
NorthernStr Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 We're going to Blackpool South, hopefully less agro there from the peelers.

We are getting in to Blackpool North at 10am, which boozer is going to be the best bet for our lot at that time. I have been told to avoid the Hop Inn like the plague!
Jol_BWFC Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 On train from London (via Preston) getting into BPN at 10.20. Anyone know if it's better to go to BPS instead, for less agro? There should be a fair few Bolton on the train to BPN, so had planned to follow them - safety in numbers and all that. I'm travelling up alone for this one, as the other London WWays folks I know can't make it. Would be keen to meet a few more faces off here though. If anyone is open to idea of the "more the merrier", please drop me a PM. Fear not, I'm not a shandy-drinking cockney.

I have been told to avoid the Hop Inn like the plague! the hop in is just full of scrotes mate,you will have no hassle in there....unless you kick an old mans dog and nick his crossword or interupt a guy shooting up in the toilets you will be fine.
Mounts Kipper Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I cannot see police rounding up bolton fans and taking them straight to BR, also cannot see this game being the powder keg that many predict, any aggro will be well after the game and small in numbers.

[/quote Good info is that if your getting train back saturday night either make sure there are enough to take care of yourself or if there are only 2-3 of you consider getting train from another stop.
Traf Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 MK's right, Blackpool North is a notorious spot for small groups getting picked off late on.
Guest Frandsen08 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Just got here. What a shithole I always knew it was but we walked past a strip club and there were bouncers on the door it's not even 10!. Place needs flattening. Nice to meet you Micky d
gonzo Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Albert and the lion families only,castle further on it is...
Rembrandt Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 MK's right, Blackpool North is a notorious spot for small groups getting picked off late on. So it should be easy to police then ....... if they can be bothered ?
