Great effort, bet they created some real noise. Nearly as many stewards, must have been hard to maintain order.What do you reckon is the higher capacity?
A full carriage on the big one or fleetwoods attendance away at Sunderland?

I don’t think they know how to get out of Fleetwood.I wonder if their young hooligans attacked the Sunderland lads ??
Do the poor cherubs realise they can leave Codland?I don’t think they know how to get out of Fleetwood.
Not both of them.I wonder if their young hooligans attacked the Sunderland lads ??
But even taking those factors into account,if that pic is the actual numbers they took the club should in reality be nowhere near the football league.Really can't understand the fixation with Fleetwood's support. They have a small catchment area, have resource constraints, are off form and are punching above their weight. Good look to them.
And if we were playing Sunderland on a cold Tuesday night, I doubt I would be there either
i went to that WizzI remember being in an away attendance similar to that when we played Exeter away c1984 Stonehouse scored in a 1-1 draw.
Pissed it down all night and wondered if it had been sensible taking the night off to travel all that way downi went to that Wizz
if i recall we went on Ozzies coach, well half filled coachPissed it down all night and wondered if it had been sensible taking the night off to travel all that way down
I travelled down with 3 other lads in a banana yellow ford cortina!!if i recall we went on Ozzies coach, well half filled coach
Just speaking to a Cod head the travel was only a fiver!I can't believe we have Blackpool fans defending that support.
We had 5 × more away at Chelsea watching our kids, than they have for a 3 hour trip to Sunderland in the league.
AP had invested a fortune in them, it's his money and he can do what he wants with it, but you're not telling me last night he didn't look at that and think "this club doesn't deserve me."
This crap about not being used to travel, league football and all that other nonsense needs putting to bed.
They've been climbing up the pyramid for years, are an established League One club, have done loads in the community and they still couldn't sell a coach full to one of the biggest teams in the North who are fighting for promotion.
Every credit for those few who went knowing they were going to be beaten; but there's no defending that.
It's not embarrassing, it's humiliating.
I was at that very game. We had a full coach and a few more. Probably 100 of us. It was heavy rain all the way down.I remember being in an away attendance similar to that when we played Exeter away c1984 Stonehouse scored in a 1-1 draw.
Minibuses are cheaperJust speaking to a Cod head the travel was only a fiver!
This will make you chuckle Al from who I was talking to.Minibuses are cheaper
I know Pilley has probably got money to burn, but it must be soul destroying.This will make you chuckle Al from who I was talking to.
The first coach was leaving at 2 the club got in contact with them yesterday and others on the database asking if they wanted to go to Sunderland and they'd put on another coach leaving at 3.30 no one replied so it got pulled.

There were plenty of multi-scarfers and Cod's on here bigging them up at our nadir; they are not rivals, but those people need reminding.So the Cod liver oil army take a handful to an away game and it merits this response?
Anyone would think they were rivals?
Indeed but they still get bigger threads on here than they do on the Codhead and Fishybits forum. Bizarre given the circumstances but hey ho.There were plenty of multi-scarfers and Cod's on here bigging them up at our nadir; they are not rivals, but those people need reminding.
Blackpool fans campaigned under the banner "Football without fans is nothing" - by that definition FTFC are barely a football club.
Assuming they are fans forums (fora?) I think it reinforces the point, FTFC aren't a football club worthy of the name.Indeed but they still get bigger threads on here than they do on the Codhead and Fishybits forum. Bizarre given the circumstances but hey ho.
Aye ok but you could say similar things about other clubs where being small isn't really important, and where I guess you could say AP has maximised FTs (very small) potential.Assuming they are fans forums (fora?) I think it reinforces the point, FTFC aren't a football club worthy of the name.
That's not to decry the ambition of the owner and how he has invested his personal wealth into trying to create something; but it's not worked, it's not going to work and he probably deserves better.
