Re: Blackpool
Good joke that.ChrisC wrote:Blackpool will be looking at this game as a cup final for them. They wont be expecting much from there last game against Manure so will be giving this game everything they have got. At the same time Blackpool always leave themselves open because they are so attack minded.
Hard one to call so will go with a score draw similar to the game at the Reebok earlier in the season.
Lets hope the lads have the same fight in them as that game after being 2 down.

I'll be golfing on the east coast of Ireland, so I probably won't even bother finding out the score until Monday.Lofthouse Lower wrote:Can't be arsed with this one.

I'll be there, suffering more than likely, but football aside promises to be a good day out!

Re: Blackpool
Difficult one for me this. On the one hand, Holloway has been a breath of fresh air and I'd love Spam and Wiggin to go down, so I can't say I'm that bothered about the result if we lose. We're safe, roll on the transfer window.
Having said that, I remember a glorious sunny August day in 1990, standing on the Lever End for the first match of the season and being thumped by them 3 nil with my scum supporting mate taking the mick throughout.
On the other hand, I live near Blackpool, the girlfriend is a Blackpool fan, so winning on Saturday probably means a short ahem, barren stretch.
There again, I'll be in the Blackpool end for this one so so unless I can sit on my hands for 90 minutes, scoring may not help my health.
1-1 please?

Re: Blackpool
West Ham fans hate us. Wigan fans hate us. Blackpool fans hate us. Wolves fans hate us. Blackburn fans hate us. Whoever goes down we can have a little chuckle.
Oddly, though, I did watch this weekend's matches in blessed dispassion and found myself sympathising with the fans of all three Ws. And there's part of me that wants Blackpool to stay up. But more than any of that I want us to finish as high up the league as possible. Realistically we could finish anywhere between 8th and 14th, and at £750,000 (not £850k) per place that's £4.5m of difference to the coffers - and to OC's sales patter over summer. Even if the points totals aren't that different, finishing a couple of places behind Europe sounds much more attractive than lower mid-table.

Re: Blackpool
I remember them beating us 0-3 at home on Jim McDonagh's debut but I don't think we played them in 1990. You wouldn't have been able to stand at the Lever End if we did, well not unless you stood in front of your seat.Bijou Bob wrote:I remember a glorious sunny August day in 1990, standing on the Lever End for the first match of the season and being thumped by them 3 nil with my scum supporting mate taking the mick throughout.

You're not allowed to go, so you're pretending you don't care?
If you got a pass for this, you'd be there with bells on!

Re: Blackpool
Really glad to have got tickets for this, it was a close one. Does anybody know of away-friendly bars near the stadium? Or is it a better idea to avoid the place, cant see the fans being too friendly if we virtually relegate them.
French centre-back currently without club, will consider any role. Experienced plumber.
Re: Blackpool
Anyone happen to have a spare ticket? I had an exam while the tickets went on open sale today
This is a hopeful plee, I admit.

As the game's on TV, I expect virtually every pub/bar in Blackpool to be showing the game.GeraldCid wrote:Really glad to have got tickets for this, it was a close one.

I also know of lots of Bolton fans who're going and spending their hard earned £35 in these said bars rather than going to the game
In short, you'll be fine in any pub in Blackpool.

Re: Blackpool
The game's not on (legal) telly. All EPL games kick off at 12.45pm so that MU's title celebrations can overshadow the FA Cup final, or something.
I would exercise extreme caution in pubs. Never a bad idea to do that in Blackpool anyway but the two sides have tragic history which has been inflamed by net-based WUMs. As nice as a day at the sunny seaside slowly getting sozzled might sound, it could turn ugly at any point and in any pub, no matter how many or how few BW fans there are. Good luck.
