Notice the Cods are off to Peterborough tonight. What a soulless journey that is - have to say I wouldn't be upset if Blackpool never had to go there again. Any others?
 
What did you guys think of Gigg Lane ?. I went loads of times. But never in the away section. View can't have been good before development. Cemetery end. And I can picture the seats being proper caged.

I just remember Leighton James coming in to score that penalty after his dive, looking across at the stand, and saying to my mates “ if this goes in, the front of that stand is going to be kicked in”

One of my more accurate prediction, but it didnt require psychic powers..
 
Off the top of my head, Saltergate, although surprised so many others.
A lot of posters going for the Shay? I have to say all the trips supporting the Pool it was an uninspiring ground, the new stands the were building never seemed to get finished.
But now I go back to watch my grandson either refereeing or lining andthe atmosphere is good and get treated like royalty.

I dodged a fair few coins back in the day at Gigg Lane. More so than at any other ground I‘ve visited. It’s always a tad disconcerting, when all you can hear around you, is the pinging of small coins hitting metal and concrete. Certainly distracted from the game. Despite that, was very sad to see Bury kicked out of the Football League. I’d never wish that on any club.

Drinking by the ‘iconic’ Charter’s barge on a warm sunny day, pre match, in Peterborough, can be (for me) a grand day out. Much more so, if we’ve won. Being thrashed 5-0 however, does tend to irk one somewhat. I’ve never been midweek, on a cool, dreary wet evening though.

Trevor Ross scored the penalty after James took a dive.
 
Scarborough was a shithole and the old Doncaster in a cage.
Man United in the home end in the prem. Never seen so many Japanese in one place. Know what the Americans went through storming Iwo Jima

Serious question. Aren't wheelchair sections usually at pitch level and, therefore a poor view.
