Went last season. The ground's ok(ish) but it has to be one of the most depressing drives ever. When you see the scenery you'll know what I mean.
Many years ago, approx 1971, I did a bit of tour of the Wirral peninsula, to see what it was all about...what a shit hole, nevertheless very interesting. On the Welsh side of the Dee you had Shotton steel works and Connah's Quay, which served it, and seemed to consist of a place in a swamp. Blacon, just the English side, a sink estate nominally attached to Chester but hidden away. Then on the Mersey side the ace Port Sunlight, where back in the day, you could taste the soap in the air. Tranmere's ground in a place called Prenton, I suppose in Birkenhead or maybe Wallasey and the jewel in the crown, New Brighton.
I did like New Brighton...think putting Severn Beach in Avonmouth, and hoping to develop a resort.
NB once boasted a league side....New Brighton Tower, named after the ill fated Blackpool look a like, which for a brief spell before demolition in the 20's was the tallest building in Britain.
I dread to think what it's like nowadays, with its proximity to Scouseland.
