So my Blackpool supporting friend was wondering if he can pay on the day or is it all ticket, he doesn't want to drive to Blackpool to buy his ticket if he can pay on the day ???

Not heard anything about it being all ticket but surely he can get them online from our club shop if he is in any doubt .

I assume he knows that tickets are available to buy online via the Blackpool website, as I quickly discovered, at https://www.eticketing.co.uk/blackpoolfc/Events/Index for away standing and seating areas but there doesn't seem to be anything to say if he can pay on the day.

Apparently Blackpool fans won't buy their tickets from their club as they don't want the commission going to the Oystons. :D

Should be a big crowd, so I hope the away areas can cope with the demand. Might be an idea to give them the North Terrace just in case 2000+ away fans turn up on the day?

I disagree, as we should be concentrating on accommodating our own fans for what is arguably our biggest home league game of the season. If we start letting them take over the ground, they'll think they can disrupt the game through protesting on the pitch, as they've done elsewhere in the past.

The problem will be the more tickets we sell to the donkey lashers the bigger the chance of disruption therefore the more police will be needed at great expense . So any benefit from extra ticket sales will be wiped out :(

If the club wanted to restrict the number of away fans they'd have to make the match all ticket. Keeping it pay on the gate should lead to a decent turn-out, but I'd expect demand from Blackpool fans to be possibly even higher than ours. Security will need to be heavy whether there is 1000 or 2000 from the Pool.

Is the club promoting this game already locally? Be great if we could break 5000 but that would have to involve giving more space to away fans or else they will end up mixed with the home fans.
