Glad I made you laugh matey, but I think you know what I mean. Groups of blokes in the 50s and 60s pissed up and staggering everywhere, being extremely loud rude, crude and obnoxious. It's bad enough when boys in their late teens and early 20s behave like this, but blokes of a certain age should know far better. Sadly, Blackpool seems to attract this kind of person. Well it did the evening we were there, and this was September. I dread to think what it is like during July and August
I visited the old Bloomfield Rd, before it was redeveloped. Behind the goal with that steep terracing. 93 i think it was. We lost, again. I can remember a young fullback making his City debut, Ian Jones i think was the name-Merthyr lad? I don't think that we saw him again. Anyone remember him?
we did it a few years back, its fine in the day, but late afternoon it does get messy with hen / stag do's and just groups of wrecked people, it didnt really bother my girls though, we has booked in the Prem inn for the night, but realised it was ram packed with groups, who we guessed might be noisy at night, so changed it to Manchester airport ( its was closer to Alton Towers and i knew it has a massive Mall with great food places next door to it )
my advice, have the day at Blackpool, get to the evening and bugger off, Drive to a Prem Inn closer to Alton Towers, as i said above we decided on man airport, we spent the next day At Alton Towers, did the bounce back deal ( its a 10er for the next day ) we then stayed another night at Strafford North Sptifire Prem Inn ) and then had the 2nd day at Alton Towers and drove home after a day at the park, its a long 3 days though
