The Blackpool trip

Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:11 pm

Cant wait :ayatollah:
First away trip for a while and first ever trip with the mrs :-(
Going with another middle aged(ish)couple and staying for the weekend (north part, near the tower).
How many usually make the overnight trip? are we talking 10s, 100s?
What are the fave hangouts for you all? :ayatollah:

I'm going for the weekend and I will be going to the Manchester Bar before the game. I've gone to Blackpool twice and the Manchester Bar is quality a few hours before kick off, it's packed with City fans with City songs blaring out, amazing atmosphere! :ayatollah:

One of my mates got turned away and was told to walk around the block for 10 minutes and come back. He only had 2 bottles of bud! :lol:

We're staying the Saturday. Before the game it's got to be The Manchester. Jumping with city fans and loads of good tunes. As someone else said we got asked if we'd been drinking outside the ground. Denied it while trying to hold breath but saw a few turned away. Weren't that pissed either. :ayatollah:
