I think there are a couple of other things away from Saturday's events that are driving this little seaside tantrum.

1. We pipped them to promotion last year and won 0-1 at theirs with supporters outside.

2. Evatt took Barrow back in to the football league. They have a very old rivalry with Barrow. 

Have Fleetwood, Salford and Accrington found reasons to hate us yet just so we can complete the full set?

I was pretty hammered but did not see a single thing all day between fans. 
 

The pubs of Morecambe seemed to be happy with the business. 
 

Are they still saying nothing racist was said ? 

i was about 10yrds away from the bloke/lad launched the cone, someone smacked in seconds.

What a magnificent Des McBain inspired campaign that was. Along with the one to stamp out bad language at Burnden.

Led to the Manny Road North chanting "Your gonna get your flippin heads kicked in"! 

He’s here, he’s there, we’re not allowed to swear, Peter Reid, Peter Reid.

They’ve about 500 real fans between them, so doubt we’ll ever hear it anyhow.

I’ve been working at The Whites Hotel today. IE came and sat near us this morning. Couldn’t help eaves dropping as he got very animated and vocal on his mobile. Jist of the conversation was he was still backing his/staffs actions, repeating that they’d been verbally abused from minute one, how can they deflect from the real issue, he was backing Baptiste’s actions/words at one point. 

All of which suggests there’s still an element of self-denial and deflection from whoever was on the other end of the call!

I did hear from the horses mouth when I had a brief chat with him that Santos card had been rescinded - he seemed to smile at this point and it stopped steam coming out of his ears 😂

Can’t wait for their last game of the season. Maybe they’d be best advised to all stay away from their ground and allow Sunderland fans to have all nearly 6000 tickets.

The way Sunderland are going, they may have nothing left to play for. May not need that many..

Interesting times

 

Problems if anyone is hoping to travel by train to this game on March 4th.

No trains going through Preston station every weekend from 18 February to 12 March. All lines are closed from Wigan/Preston to Lancaster.

There’s bus replacement services but I imagine these will be mobbed at weekends.

Yes, that’s the drawback. We went last season and walked a few miles towards Heysham and back. It was pretty shit. 

I'll be in the vicinity from Thursday.

Probably in the home end for the game, despite only missing two aways so far this season

I suspect you won't be alone in that respect.

At least I can’t miss the last train this year then 🙈

Mrs E nearly binned me off on the back of Morecambe…..never again 🤦‍♂️

Why's this 12:30 kick off?

Because we can’t behave would be my first guess.

Santa's fault.

Is the correct answer!

It always makes me laugh though. Those that will drink loads before the match, still will. However, after the match, they'll be out longer in the town, especially at a seaside resort!

Very counter productive. FIO's, clueless
