I suppose we are lucky it's not this weekend. Northern rail have all but scuppered my trip down for Crewe with their train strike :mad:

For those who prefer rail to road, Blackpool South Station is much closer to the ground.
Although this means using the Colne-Blackpool South 'boneshaker', which will be packed with families visiting the pleasure beach, being a bank holiday.
if the weather is warm that might be the offer i,ll take up. roads could be very busy unless you get there before 10 in the morning and same coming home after the game. don,t usually do trains apart from york away but this could be one i might and leave the wolfdog at home.

I found this from the Blackpool link above.......

"Nene Park Demolition Now Underway"
The demolition of Nene Park, the former home of Rushden & Diamonds is now underway. Nene Park which has been unused since 2012, was a nice ground, which was excellent by non-league standards and fulfilled Football League criteria."

Do have a look, it makes a good if somewhat sad read.....
 
Hope so, had me heart set on this game, but circumstance has prevented me going last tea-time i discovered, not a happy bunny, but sod all i can do.:(

Pretty excited about Friday. Just been perusing the fixtures of Exeter and Carlisle who look to have easy games against our-of-form teams (Barnet and Hartlepool). It's looking like a must win.

The team will presumably pick itself, apart from JC tossing a coin again to decide on Husin v the Don? If Matty P has metamorphosised into Zinedene Zidane like I'm told he has then I think the Don will be back.

Also keeping an eye on the weather. Why does it have to be bloody Blackpool on Easter Friday? Hopefully the dismal weather may persuade people that there's better things in life than a tray of soggy chips and getting cold on a crumbling pier. I would consider going there early to avoid traffic, but what is there to do?. I've been there several times in the past (presumably must have been nagged rotten by one of the kids, or just a severe mental aberration of not remembering how awful it was the last time) and always come away feeling hugely depressed. I quite like faded seaside glamour, but I'll make an exception for Blackpool.

Maybe if I was 18 and out for beer and scrapping, or 90 and in the mood for bingo and nostalgia....god, it's hard being grumpy middle aged.

Anyway, nowt makes you change your mind about a place like 3 points. Come 5pm and you might witness a deleriously drunk old dodderer dressed only in a kiss me quick hat, undies and Stanley scarf splashing happily about in the sewage and seaweed shouting "in't football brilliant".
 
'Why does it have to be bloody Blackpool on Easter Friday?'
A bit harsh. It could have been Stevenage. Still if its good enough for the Stone Roses..

Try watching Funny Bones before you go to get in the mood of the place.

'If Matty P has metamorphosised (sic)into Zinedine Zidane like I'm told he has then I think the Don will be back.'
Think more Roy Keane.

What was the allocation Mark?

There wasn't an "allocation" as such they just sent us 2 big bundles of tickets as their printer packed up half way through the 2nd run.

It's fixed now and we're just working things out at this end; cira 600
 
Anyone else finding it hard to concentrate on anything apart from the big match tomorrow? Not a chance in hell that we won't win. I reckon our entire season has been a dress rehearsal for the glory of these last five matches.

600 tickets? what the blazes will the other 30,000 residents be doing tomorrow? Washing their cars and going to the Trafford centre? Insanity. This is history in the making.

Us to win by a huge margin. Not a shred of doubt.
