After the world Cup break... Xmas drinking in Blackpool... could be a bit entertaining!!!

Not to mention WC semi final that night!!
 
Other than more money for the club why do we give away teams more tickets than we need to. It gives the away team a boost and this season the home fans haven't risen to the challenge.

If England win the group (assuming they get through R16) they play 7pm 1/4 final that night if the are second in the group they play 7pm on the Friday.

Because we can't sell them?
No one was complaining Saturday when we took 4,000 to Wigan it's just ridiculous that with our poor support you'd throw money in the bin because it may give the away team a boost and then some will complain about our poor budget.

Apart from money, there isn't another reason.
 
They are horrible fans .The policing will probably take away most of the profits made that day. I remember the police putting Birmingham fans in the Blackpool end for their safety as Birmingham were fighting each other on the old kop . That was the first time they had riot police actually in an English stadium.

We don't pay for the policing outside and it went off fairly smoothly last season.

Sorry I thought flares were thrown into the south stand and supporters ran on the pitch . I must admit I don't know how the policing is paid for ,but someone has to pay ,even if its a bill at the end of the season.
 
I didn't realise the World cup overlapped the season restarting by 8 days, it does raise the question why bother with a break at all? That said under our dire circumstances it's a good thing.

Agree completely but would add that this all comes down to stupid pricing of £30 for home fans…way way too expensive and needs addressing… could do a special bring a mate initiative just for season ticket holders…say £20 a ticket
 
Let's hope it's a repeat of Easter Monday and they go home after a heavy defeat. I can see why the club give them the extra tickets, when demand is there, but it probably doesn't help us on the pitch.

Totally agree £30 is bonkers but at least let ST holders buy at members price like we've been able to do in the past.
