correct about the away end. Half of the side stand isn't available due to not being safe. They are apparently "fixing" it this season but it won't be done until much later, maybe next season. Have heard rumours that we aren’t rolling over purchases from last season and so Blackpool will just be a free for all for season ticket holders. No idea if that’s true but if so, that’s baffling. 6500 holders potentially after 2500 tickets. Sure it won’t be a problem in the end for Blackpool but what if it was Burton with 900 or something for first game? I'd be annoyed if that's true. I was in the bracket who did 10+ aways last year and have no issue being behind those on 15+ etc, but it would be a joke to be on the same level as someone who may have only been to a couple of home games and bought a season ticket this season for the first time this year. As ever I don't have a lot of confidence in our ticketing platform standing up if it becomes a free for all.

As ever I don't have a lot of confidence in our ticketing platform standing up if it becomes a free for all. Hopefully it's not true but a mate was told by someone in the ticket office everything was being wiped back to zero. Think it was when he was renewing his season ticket a month or two ago. The free for alls are likely to be less of an issue in the bigger grounds, but that's not really the point. There will still be games that over oversubscribed, Burton, Wrexham etc. And it's an important thing, for me. I go everywhere, more or less. It's nice to have that rewarded. And I'd be more likely to make the effort to go to a b*stard of a game like Northampton on a Tuesday night to keep my points total ticking over.

If only you could go to the game and not blackpool. Best bet is the train to blackpool south or pleasure beach to miss the big percentage of it or park the car as close as possible to the ground and go straight in. Do not mind the place being a dump if they charged dump prices everywhere and not rip off ones for sub standard food and drink. It may be fashionable, but Inlike Blackpool and so do the kids. I have had many Brazilian visitors over who also love the place - even in winter! I don’t know why it gets such a kicking but each to their own I suppose. Tbf, my kids love it too. They don't care if it's Blackpool or Barbados, it's the seaside with arcades and ice cream. We usually go once or twice a year out of season and have a nice day. But I wouldn't dream of going there for a day out on the beer.

They don’t have any wager like it. All the tat in the shops and rock shaped like knobs/butt cheeks/boobs. Donkey rides and the piers.

Know i know the price of everything and the value of nothing, but find blackpool has the least value of all the resorts within a 80 mile drive of my house. People like knocking all our large seaside towns as if its a national pastime but they all have a point where that place is concerned. Take kids on holiday there and your money is running short the best thing to do is pack up and go home early especially if sat on the beach isn,t your or their thing. Been there and done it.

Bit shit Huddersfield is on Boxing Day when there won't be any trains running. Usually a great day on the train that.

Would've rather we had Blackburn away to tick off a new ground for myself but should be a good game nevertheless!
