Blackpool Away!

[Inspector Morse]

'Why does it have to be bloody Blackpool on Easter Friday?'
A bit harsh. It could have been Stevenage. Still if its good enough for the Stone Roses..

Try watching Funny Bones before you go to get in the mood of the place.

'If Matty P has metamorphosised (sic)into Zinedine Zidane like I'm told he has then I think the Don will be back.'
Think more Roy Keane.

I would rather be going to Blackpool good Friday rather than southports away game at Dover.

The team will presumably pick itself, apart from JC tossing a coin again to decide on Husin v the Don? If Matty P has metamorphosised into Zinedene Zidane like I'm told he has then I think the Don will be back.

Also keeping an eye on the weather. Why does it have to be bloody Blackpool on Easter Friday? Hopefully the dismal weather may persuade people that there's better things in life than a tray of soggy chips and getting cold on a crumbling pier. I would consider going there early to avoid traffic, but what is there to do?. I've been there several times in the past (presumably must have been nagged rotten by one of the kids, or just a severe mental aberration of not remembering how awful it was the last time) and always come away feeling hugely depressed. I quite like faded seaside glamour, but I'll make an exception for Blackpool.

Maybe if I was 18 and out for beer and scrapping, or 90 and in the mood for bingo and nostalgia....god, it's hard being grumpy middle aged.

Anyway, nowt makes you change your mind about a place like 3 points. Come 5pm and you might witness a deleriously drunk old dodderer dressed only in a kiss me quick hat, undies and Stanley scarf splashing happily about in the sewage and seaweed shouting "in't football brilliant".

" god, it's hard being grumpy middle aged.".....

Lord.Didsbury!....fast forward say 15/20 or so years...OK ?...
Right ?..now listen carefully to my protestation !...

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET !

Initial allocation of tickets sent to Accy have now been sold to the Red Army!!

Blackpool are making a further 1000 + tickets available from the away ticket booth ( near the away turnstiles), but it's cash only!!

Suspect this will be the largest ASFC away following ever.

[maccawozzagod]

What was the allocation Mark?

[baldy]

Anybody know the biggest Away following we've taken anywhere?

Chester first game back in Football League?

[maccawozzagod]

800ish to Leeds 1st time
961 iirc at Bury in 2006

I dont know Chester but from memory it was nowt special

There wasn't an "allocation" as such they just sent us 2 big bundles of tickets as their printer packed up half way through the 2nd run.

It's fixed now and we're just working things out at this end; cira 600

[Lord Didsbury]

Anyone else finding it hard to concentrate on anything apart from the big match tomorrow? Not a chance in hell that we won't win. I reckon our entire season has been a dress rehearsal for the glory of these last five matches.

600 tickets? what the blazes will the other 30,000 residents be doing tomorrow? Washing their cars and going to the Trafford centre? Insanity. This is history in the making.

Us to win by a huge margin. Not a shred of doubt.

[football19]

Me and the missus will be there !!!
This game for me is the defining one,they score goals,we score goals,get something here and we can start believing.
Clean sheet and we will win,simple really KTF

[Bob Dobson]

There's every chance there'll be more of us than of them, Anti- Oyston feeling is very high

[AccyMad]

Can't wait for this one, first ever visit to Bloomfield Road & our lads are on fire - now, let me see - have I done everything?
Bag packed - check; match ticket - check; train ticket & times sorted - check!
Yep, I think that's it - cheeky small glass of vino & off to bed, ready for tomorrow - COYR!!

[st06nc2]

A message I have recieved from an oyston FC fan

ethical boycott by home fans on tickets and merchandise......please show solidarity by not buying food/drink/programmes from there. OYSTONS OUT

Obviously your choice what you do

[Chewbacca]

BLACKPOOL TICKETS SOLD OUT

Dream on, maybe the fan of less than two years can be honest on the website rather than putting fans off going away with a disingenuous headline.
