Sounds good to me. The first 2 away games are new grounds for me so all money spent in the first month that was meant to be for 2 months!

 

[Linz]

Just a reminder, these go on sale today.

We're planning to go down to the Lane later, so if anyone needs tickets fetching, please make sure I've got your loyalty number, you tell me what level of ticket you require (i.e. adult/concession) and that you have the required 10k points.

That is all

 

[Thorpey Pig]

can't make it as im going on me jollies rather go to good old blackpool than on a shitty cruise

 

[Tinoblade]

Cant get mine till wednesday but thats when i get paid

 

[Linz]

It's unreserved seating ladies, according to the tickets.

Is that because they can't actually number seats in order? ...

82, 91, 32, 5, 20, 82 (again)?

There were people last time who didn't even have a seat, but at least we were huddled more tightly together for warmth.

 

[rachyblade]

Anyone know how they are selling, I'm tempted as I will miss the next two home games

 

[Monty's_Girl]

I'm going to this match hopefully

Heard rumours that they aren't selling too well... not everyone wants to pay £26 to go to that dump.

 

[keenzy]

bank holiday weekend too so fair few will be away

 

[rachyblade]

Thanks Linz

 

[Samantha]

£26 to sit in a shed with no roof.... how the hell do they dare charge that much?!
EDIT: Their home cheapest adult ticket is £27... so don't think we're doing bad!

 

[rachyblade]

Is anyone going and stoppin over the night for a jolly up?

We are gonna find a cheap B&B and make a weekend of it, I know its a tacky place, but i've always had a good laugh up there on a night out, I remember last time I grabbed the microphone off a bloke advertising in the street and was shouting nah nah nah nah hes a blade at my brother.

Its bank holiday weekend, you only live once. Plus you traveled that far might a well stay over.

 

[Robbie]

It's not really that far, hour and a half drive.

Looks like we may just be going to Blackpool

We were going to... but the lack of campsites in Southport means it's a no go now. There and back now.

Stop in a B&B then they are well cheap.

 

[Linz]

Stop in a B&B then they are well cheap.

There is a reason for that

It was absolutely cack the last time we went for the day, never mind staying the weekend - hence the reason we were going to stay in Southport.

I think I would rather come home than be harassed by scallies all weekend.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

We wanted to stay over on the saturday night in a B&B in Blackpool. The decent ones aren't cheap and as it's bank holiday weekend a lot have a minimum 2 night stay.
Ended up getting a room in a holiday inn just outside Leeds for £45 and it's a proper hotel with a swimming pool etc. Means I can see my sister and mates on the sunday although I did want a night out in Blackpool!

 

[Linz]

Blackpool is now sold out apparently...

It is, was a sign on box office window

 

[Sensiblade]

Blackwell quoted on the BBC

"Chris Morgan has to see the neurologist. He was concussed and, because there is 25 minutes he has lost and can't remember, we will have to wait and see how he is.

"I've told the players this is by far our toughest game this season after last weekend's victory everyone thinks this is a formality and it is far from that.

"I don't want an arrogant display, we have to go and earn the right to play there and we will have to role our sleeves up and get on with it."

Stead has a Groin problem according to them as well so may not be in the squad.

And to say people don't believe the BBC is the fine institution it once was...
