Virgin West Coast services running...change at Preston..2 returns, bit more expensive but it is NYD...…..It's the boxing day match (Bradford h.) that's a bugger to get down to ..no transport to, or in the N.E. so it's the car and teetotal ...
 


I had a quick look the other day and it was £90
Just had a look, 2 people with a railcard travelling from York to Blackpool, down 31/12, coming back 2/1 is £31.60 for both. Train is about £26 for two people with a railcard Sunderland-York.
 
Blackpool in 1987, the last time we were in the 3rd Division was a great day out. We had the only part of the Kop that was open, plus standing on the side down past the half way line. We had seats in the opposite side, and loads more in the home sections (about 30 around the commentator of the official video for the game).

About 4,500 in total. Good 2-0 win.

Best part of the day was when the Blackpool goalie - none other than our former hero Barry Siddall, came down to our end and got an absolutely beautiful, alcohol fuelled welcome...Siddall, Siddall, Siddall...

And we saw Reuban Agboola out around Blackpool on the night.

Next morning we bought a blow up doll and paraded it up Blackpool sea front, then took it to our next away game down Notts County. Happy days!

My first away game, bumped into Bob Stokoe coming out of a hotel near the ground with his Mrs. He warned us to behave ourselves :cool:
