I was at Blackpool's ground in the mid 70's. My firm used to do floodlighting. A cold January morning and Blackpool were due on MOTD in a cup match. The floodlights had to be working and clean, for the cameras to pick the game up properly. After 6 pints of Wilson's ale the night before, and me being the apprentice, i had to scale the 150ft high towers with a bucket of hot water and a sponge. I got to the top, the tower was swinging around..... and i was in desperate need of a pee.
So i checked the direction of the wind, and at about 9am.....i pissed over Blackpool. The wind made sure that the flow went a long way.
Now that was cold up there. :)

Only been there once and it was a freezing day in January, back in the 70's. The police marched us to the ground and we must have been there for nearly 2 hrs before ko and didn't even have a refreshment kiosk open for much of that time.

We did win one nil but must have taken a week to feel warmth again.

If you don't get there on time, can you get a refund?

How can you get a refund on something you don't pay for.

On the 18.55 from Manchester and we have West Ham players block booked in the front two carriages

It's bloody freezing up here. Get your thermals on.

Well, you are a little bit off course from your natural habitat of the Savannah grasslands of Africa.....
