Would have thought we'd take a fair few to this with it being a new ground

I like Blackpool a lot. Great history and heritage. Of course, any town that pretty much has its economy based on a single industry (principally holidays for the working class) is going to suffer when social and economic circumstances change dramatically.

I have just got back from a winter break in Blackpool, I love the place.
Public transport is great with the trams passing 100 yards or so from the ground and £4.50p for a day pass on buses and trams so park for cheap in Blackpool or Clevelys and get the tram up, they run every 15 mins.
Loads of cheap b&b's in Blackpool from £20 a night.
I would suggest if you like beer then visit the Strawberry Gardens in Fleetwood, part owned by Syd Little who is often there serving customers. Hes a lovely bloke too and usually welcomes football fans. Great food and excellent beer from a regional CAMRA pub of the year winner.
The Highbury Stadium is about half a mile from there.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I believe Jacko will reach all 92 clubs at which he's seen Swindon... Pretty impressive. |

Jacko deserves a medal. Whether that medal comes from CAMRA or STFC is another matter....

He'll get a medal there for sure. Unfortunately, it will probably be the pissy variety on the front of his jeans...

My father-in-law lives in Blackpool fact fans. Enough said......parts of it (Stanley Park) are nice, but the whole seafront is crap and tacky (says he who lives in Weston :-))
As for Morecambe, well words fail me.....

Not bad considering distance and time of year Am sure if this was beginning/end of season would have 3 times that Having said that am pretty sure another couple of hundred will be added to that |

Got to say I've got an eye on the weather first.
Would love to go as I may not make another game for a while
