mozo Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Been there for a game in January I think just as they started the ground redevelopment. I just remember it being one of the coldest, windiest football experiences of my life. Layer up! Quote Link to comment
JBFC II Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Nearly there now, expecting a wet, cold and windy experience. But then, having been to Holker Street 6 weeks back I feel prepared! Feel positive about getting a result, we've looked much better as of late so hopefully can continue that through to today Edited February 5, 2022 by JBFC II 1 Quote Link to comment
cityloyal473 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Been there twice - first time the game was called off (early late 90s/early 2000s?), second time it was cold, wet and we drew. Quote Link to comment
grifty Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Has anyone been there when it wasn't wet, cold and raining? Quote Link to comment
Southport Red Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 After a very contentious last minute penalty (which we missed, thus restoring justice) a Blackpool fan tried to kill my daughter and I in a retail park car park. We were walking back to our car in our City shirts, a car with four tangerine shirted lads accelerated hard at us, I just about managed to push my daughter out of the way, they at no time went for their brakes. Nice people. can see Blackpool from Southport, there used to be a ten minute hovercraft ride (although it wouldn’t have run today), as it is it’s an hour’s drive as you have to drive around the river ribble(like driving both sides of a letter ‘V’. setting off now.

pl00peh91 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 2-3 wins would guarantee safety this season in my book, in view of the points deductions and how terrible Barnsley and Peterborough are. I however would hope based in recent performances that we should have loftier ambitions than just survival, and I see no reason why we shouldn’t look to finish between 8th and 10th.

Andreas Weimann is their most dangerous player. Creates and scores goals.Need to keep him quiet. Tough game this 2-2 We’ll need volunteers to guard our statues. Quote Link to comment

The 5-1 always sticks in the mind but another Jan fixture maybe in 2000s where the wind off the Irish Sea and being in a uncovered side of the ground was brutally cold. I think only Oldham was a place that I felt colder the year we went up under GJ Yeah, that was truly Arctic. I ended up buying some gloves from the Oldham club shop 1 Quote Link to comment

Voted Tory in the mistaken belief that they are remotely interested. What’s that got to do with anything?

sh1t_ref_again Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Went at a guess 15 years ago when the terracing was scaffolding. Made it a weekend with our friends and took the kids. Could not believe how difficult it was to find somewhere to eat on the evening as everywhere was set up for stags and hens. We ended up on a pier and had the DJ take the piss alnight about how posh we were because the ladies were drinking wine. Quote Link to comment
