Big Bertha is on her way to Eastbourne for the FA Cup game. Thanks to a generous gesture from Eastbourn Borough - who really wanted to welcome Blackpool fans to their club - they have offered to display Big Bertha at their ground tomorrow as a token representation of Blackpool support. Thanks to Sian Ansell of EBFC for offering to do this and to Harry Lyons of BFC for taking the flag down for the game.

Very nice gesture indeed. 👍
 
Is it currently legal to drive a flag 600 miles? Who cares, what a marvellous gesture. Such a shame the fans of both clubs don't have the opportunity to get to know each other. Well done Harry!
 
Would have loved to have been there ,great gesture by Eastbourne,good to the football commuity working together.

Great gesture by EBFC. Let’s hope the lads in Tangerine are inspired by it and give us a good performance too - we don’t want to be on the end of a giant killing!

Essential journey as part of work for a club official.
 
There are some genuine people cheers EBfc. I don't mind if you score the odd goal either, but we need to win this. Let's hope it's an entertaining game too.
 
Fair play to Eastbourne. Clearly excited about playing league opposition (don’t mean that to sound patronising).
Massive shame fans can’t be in attendance as I think we would have been made very welcome and probably would have been a fantastic friendly atmosphere between both sets of supporters.
