Sounds like ur all havin a good time! I wish i could watch the goals. Wonder if rovers world will have highlights. Did u not take a picture of the trialist!? we might work it out.

Anyone know what ticket arrangements were last year. Is it just pay on the gate. Its just im taking a few irish friends to the game. Gonna be staying about 30 mins from Bray at friends house. Major sessions friday and sat night in Dublin!!! Lookin forward to meetin people off here. Booked my flights going from Blackpool on friday morning, coming back sunday.

Im happy!!!!! Some excellent business done by souness this summer. 150k spent. get in!

Blackpool is 14.99 to dublin then 9.99 back

then you got the taxes so will be about 35 quid all together. Gets in saturday about 11:30, gets back about 10:30 monday morning.

WAHOOO!!

IM GOING! Cheap flights from Blackpool, friends in dublin = free accomodation! Thankyou souey!

ADVANTAGES

-Its good for me, il still be going to all the games and i will love to watch 50 min highlights of it when i get home.

-Club will get a lot more money from sky

-People who cant afford as many away games can see most of the game on sat night.

DISADVANTAGES

-Good move for most premiership clubs but bad move for ourselves. We are a small club with too many fans who would jump at the chance of not paying for a ticket and just watching the game at home. (Charlton home game last season anyone)

-Less away support. Although our away support is good. I fear people may think against paying out and being tempted to watch it at home. When you think spurs away cost around 100 quid alltogether and we didnt get home til about midnight it would be tempting for some.

-Having repeat performances from last season would send us into depression if we have to watch the game again for 50 mins. Because if its on we will watch it.

-71p more a month!!! Sweet jesus get a loan.

Excellent move by souness. I cant wait for the season to start!!

Lets just forget about it and watch tennis. COME ON TIM!

Although i was full of passion watching the game last night and i was absolutely gutted and annoyed, its not quite the same as rovers. This morning im kinda getting over it and thinking 'ah well world cup qualifiers start in a couple of months'. Whereas if it had been rovers who lost on penaltys and had a perfectly good amoruso goal disallowed then id be raging for at least a week, or until the next game.

ROOOOONEY!

Is this the same player we all saw play when we beat them at goodison a couple of months back! i think not. Amoruso walked it.

Good signing IMO looking forward to seeing the strikers compete with each other for places next season.

Well i think its a good signing, it will give more competition for strikers and he is cheap. The board users moaning about this, what the hell do you expect? Tell me who you would have signed? You have to wake up and realise that we arent a big club, we dont have millions to spend and were never going to challenge for the title in the forseeable future.

1st round by september 1st!!!!!!!!!! u gotta be kidding me, the whole tounrament should be pre-season.I can see it now, a cold wet windy night at turd moor in early october, burnley beat us 2-1 with a 92nd minute amoruso own goal and david may breaking barrys leg in the 1st half.

WAHOOO!!!!!!! i got my post card

ah well, it provided 10 minutes of entertainment trying to spot myself on the picture.

Just been given this link -

Doesnt look the most reliable source in the World, but it's worth mentioning.

Gonna be our reserves then, seen as were playing preston the next day.

Not heard anything. All the Blackpool fans are saying they definately have a friendly against rovers again though.

Excellent. They did it at Birmingham away and he was waving at them and laughing away. It wont bother him, the brummy fans love him!!

Where is everyone sat bottom or top tier, i am in the bottom.

Im in the top, wishing id bought bottom now though i thin thats where the best atmospheres gonna be

Anyone know how long it takes to get to Euston from the ground and how difficult it is?

We're going Preston to Euston. 8.20 depart - arrive 11.59. But your "west coast line" thing has distrubed me. Do you know somehting I don't?

Reading the beggining of this thread i think its something to do with the stafford area.

Im gonna ring them and try book onto that one from preston, should be ok.

Ok its gonna be a good day i have to go.

Whats the story with the trains!?

I know about the west coast line so i take it i have to go from Blackpool-Preston-Picadilly-Euston?

Anyone sorted it?

And how easy is it to get to Euston from WHL. Never been to spurs.

Will there still be trains from preston to Blackpool? is it just the stafford area where its knackered?

Well they surely cant decrease prices. We already have very cheap season ticket prices. They could increase and put them more into the price bracket of most premiership clubs. But i think JW likes this cheap premiership football thing. He seems a bit too confident about staying up for my liking aswell, hes going to jinx us.
