Not a question of not liking Fax fans. I have no problem with them. It's that a certain amount of them don't like us.

During the cup game a couple of years back, there was some quite horrible and nasty stuff being thrown around from a reasonably large section of them stood behind the goals with the Bulls fans. And that's when they've only had a couple of hours in the pub, not all day on a drinking binge in Blackpool.

For the rest of us social drinkers - I've found this on various forum pages.....

'A short walk away (walk down Bloomfield Road towards the sea front and then turn right into Lytham Road and the pub is down on the right) is the CAMRA Good Beer Guide listed Old Bridge House and another good pub is the Wetherspoons pub called the Auctioneer on Lytham Road, near Blackpool South Station. Its about 10 minutes walk to the ground and serves cheap beer and brilliant grub.'

I imagine Blackpool will be a bit lairy. That said I’m going up to Newcastle for the Super Duper League shindig (I’m a sellout I know) and Newcastle is the wildest city I’ve been to in the UK for a night out. The decent pubs are greater in number though and easy to find. Stay away from the Bigg Market!

Ma Kelly's opposite funnygirls is the place to be, free to get in and you'll see enough acrobat's, animals and clowns to last you a life time
It's that bad it's good

I believe Shep's booked us a hotel for the Saturday and Sunday, when I say hotel I mean a hotel not a room.

Odd comment considering I know a few Fax fans who have organised their tickets so that they're sat with the Leigh fans on the Sunday!

You should try to flog then a few replica shirts, Matt. When we were doing World Club Challenge games, Saints' fans used to buy our opponent's shirt as well as turning up to support them. We did extract the michael a bit as it's difficult to pretend you're an Aussie [even when you have a hat with corks on it..] if you speak with an accent from the edge of Billinge Hill..
