Who are the big six? I'd guess Birmingham, Huddersfield, Bolton and maybe Wigan as former FA Cup winners but I can't think who else is big. Defo not us as we aren’t big ….. wait for it …. Wait for it a bit longer ……, we are MASSIVE!😉

Is £30 going to be the norm for away tickets now? Thats a joke! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones ...remember county in the NLN

We'll need more than that initial allocation. Anyone know what they can go up to for away fans? It says “significant additional number of tickets” if we sell out, so it’ll be fine. Here we go again. Initial allocations. Just put them all up for sale at the outset to save fans the hassle of rushing to buy, missing out and then constantly looking for details of when more will be available. Bigger pain in the arse than finding the £30 quid for the ticket.

Somehow i can never think of wigan as being a big club unless its the RL club people are on about. No matter what they have done in the past they are just another club on our fixture list who are closer than many.

Got to the top flight & an F.A. cup win on the back of Whelan's money, memories that can't be taken away from Wigan fans but at what price? Now a club that seem to be constantly on the verge of a financial meltdown rattling around in an oversized stadium.

Courtesy of Jane Stuart, who hails from Blackpool and is, like me, a long-time CAMRA member, with Jane previously living in Birmingham, where I've been since '88. Jane writes an excellent football blog, not just about Blackpool, but also about many non-league grounds she goes to and, on both counts, all the pubs she goes to before and after the game. janestuart.co.uk/TOWN: Cask & Tap, Shickers Tavern, Rhythm & Brew Room, Albert’s Ale Micropub, Thirsty? (Cask Layton a little out of town but worth the short walk with a bag of chips from Yorkshire Fisheries). Akash is great for Indian. Abingdon Street Market also worth a look for food/beer. POST MATCH CRAWL: Shickers Micropub, Backstage, No. 10 Alehouse (good Thai food). TRAM CRAWL FURTHER NORTH: Cask Bispham, Shipwreck, Backstage Cleveleys, Wobblinn. LYTHAM: Taps, Craft House, Northern Monkey.

No doubt a large contingent will end up in the Dutton on the seafront like old times & we'll probably call in there for one ourselves but that place is an absolute dump serving crap beer in plastic glasses (that was the case even when I went a couple of years ago on a non-matchday) so not wanting to spend too long there.

Will definitely be looking at some of the above

Will definitely be looking at some of the above Years ago most fans gathered in the Dutton arms or the Manchester. Both are generic shitholes. There's not even the fun to be had watching people chuck police horse shit at the Man United fan shop that used to be near the Dutton as it's not there anymore.

With the amounts i have drunk there i would have had to be carried home if that had happened anywhere else.

It's a block or three back from the seafront but well worth the 10 min walk. Has got a big sit in restaurant as well as takeaway.
