I'm setting off for Blackpool in about an hours time and making a weekend of it,hopefully catch up with some lifers if any pubs are mentioned on here.I know its completely mad but part of me would of liked it to of gone down to this game but then an even bigger part is glad it didnt!
Hope the M6 is better for those travelling up tomorrow for the game as I've just spent 4 hours on it and have had a 7 hour drive from Barnehurst in all.Here now though and time for a few beers!

I did an average of 30mph from 30 miles south of Brum on the M5 to just past Manchester. Spent an hour and a half at Keele service station waiting for it to get better. It didn't, much. Now in my sisters house in Lytham.
Do yourself a favour and go on M6 toll road. Worth it for £5:50.
It'll help some of the way but the tailbacks went all the way to the M62 today. Then again: Friday afternoon. Bank Holiday. Probably a no-brainer for anyone but stupid in the White Citroen Berlingo van and the vacant expression driving up from Cornwall.
@killerkish never bother with the M6 mate from junctions 1 to 15, too many bad experiences especially Bank Holiday weekends. Take the M1 then the A50 and then A500 ring road at Stoke to join M6 at J16 might take a bit longer but it always moves. Enjoy the game COYRs
Enjoy your day people. I'm at Gatwick waiting to board. Can't tell you how much more relaxing the flight will be knowing we will still be in the Championship when I get off the other end. COYR!!!
Great day left Essex 6.15 quick dash up the A1 up to M62 then drop into services for a cheeky Starbucks and who comes and stands behind me???? Mark Clattenburg... Obviously I acknowledge him and he totally ignored me... He's off my Christmas card list ! Got to the ground 11.00 soaked up the atmosphere fans and fancy dress enjoyed the win, into the funfair rode the Big One... leave it !!!! Took a lovely pic of their Shite Eiffel Tower dropped back to hotel, decent meal looking forward to MOTD & League show Perfect day
MOG I should of added hotel BAR not room yet.And as they say it's grim up north!Seriously though I am one of the few that really likes it in Blackpool and to add to it it's the first game my missus has seen us win!The only trouble is now I can't use it as an excuse not to take her next season!!! Her record this season was seen 6 lost 6!
Question : how many of us there today? I'm guessing 2k. There were only 3 supporters coaches. Did everybody else stay over ? Would have thought there would have been a few more coaches than that with a 2k following even allowing for people out on the sauce.
