Got the B&B for 3 of us for the full weekend, will get the tickets later should be good seeing different teams play

COYB

Going Fri to Mon can't wait COYB

Personally, I'm not sure I fancy a game against a team that has a large section of fans who hate us, after people have had a full day of drinking before it (in a city that's renowned for drinking), where all the fans are inter-mingled.

I think I might watch that one game this year on the telly.

I doubt there'll be any trouble. It's not Belle Vue ha ha

Dont be such a big girls blouse, its not football and despite us having a number of fans who still think its '98 you should be more than ok. Most Fax fans will be up for a bit of banter and rugby chat and the ones that arnt, well most Fax fans and Bulls fans should simply move away from them because its simply not worth the hassle. They will be in the minority and i for one have really missed the Bradford derbies and their fans whom on the whole I used to find pretty good humoured and some of the best in the league.

Haven't stayed in Blackpool for ages so going Saturday to Monday.

Anyway if you don't like Fax fans you certainly wont like the Leigh or fev lot........

Not a question of not liking Fax fans. I have no problem with them. It's that a certain amount of them don't like us.

During the cup game a couple of years back, there was some quite horrible and nasty stuff being thrown around from a reasonably large section of them stood behind the goals with the Bulls fans. And that's when they've only had a couple of hours in the pub, not all day on a drinking binge in Blackpool.

For the rest of us social drinkers - I've found this on various forum pages.....

'A short walk away (walk down Bloomfield Road towards the sea front and then turn right into Lytham Road and the pub is down on the right) is the CAMRA Good Beer Guide listed Old Bridge House and another good pub is the Wetherspoons pub called the Auctioneer on Lytham Road, near Blackpool South Station. Its about 10 minutes walk to the ground and serves cheap beer and brilliant grub.'

I imagine Blackpool will be a bit lairy. That said I’m going up to Newcastle for the Super Duper League shindig (I’m a sellout I know) and Newcastle is the wildest city I’ve been to in the UK for a night out. The decent pubs are greater in number though and easy to find. Stay away from the Bigg Market!

Charlie recommends the Lifeboat just behind the Prom ,or the Swift Hound nearby the ground does decent meals to.Plus a visit to the Tower Circus , not to be missed.

Ma Kelly's opposite funnygirls is the place to be, free to get in and you'll see enough acrobat's, animals and clowns to last you a life time
It's that bad it's good

I believe Shep's booked us a hotel for the Saturday and Sunday, when I say hotel I mean a hotel not a room.

Lifeboat will be took over by the Leythers again Charlie.

Odd comment considering I know a few Fax fans who have organised their tickets so that they're sat with the Leigh fans on the Sunday!

Is your [almost] namesake Charlie Cairoli still on there, Charlie?
