Worth another watch thanks Griff.
Whos decision was it to play the game in Blackpool surely as a home tie somewhere nearer would have suited the fans much better.
Welcome to the board Jimmy,there's not that many places nearer,the biggest mistake was playing somewhere that had been played on 24 hours earlier.

We've been dependent on charity and offers and it's worked very well so far.
New turf's going down yesterday and today and we should be back playing at Brunton Park on the 23rd of this month, though the buildings won't all be finished and the teams may have to change in portakabins.
Still, mustn't moan, eh?
