Not seen this before. A really good idea and well executed. Well done to whoever thought of it and whoever created it. Credit where's it due etc.

Very good, although it claims our capacity pre all seater in 1995 was around 27000 when it was around 17000. I remember standing in the Pontoon against Spurs in a crowd of about 17k. And around 14500 v Aston Villa.

Getting to BP by bus:

"Stagecoach operate services that run directly opposite
Blundell Park that are free to season ticket holders on
matchdays."


a. I'm not sure what relevance this has to away supporters.
b. How come I (as a STH) am not aware of this? I thought it was discontinued a few seasons ago.

Decent idea, amateurish in layout and execution, loads of inaccuracies and lots of spelling mistakes, par for the course..

Directions from Cleethorpes station look a little vague too. Turn right out of the station and head down the High Street? You’d end up on Station Rd.

Lots of other little errors. Could do with being proof read.

Was surprised by the praise on the Oldham board because it’s essentially the same thing that clubs (inc GTFC) have been doing for two decades. Am I missing something?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I like the part on page one that teases with "If you need a place to park your car, would like fo...."

Then further down hits them with:

"Parking is extremely limited around Blundell Park. We
advise supporters to arrive early and use the local
street parking. Please be aware though that some
areas close to the ground have match day parking
restrictions"


Yeah great, thanks for the tip

Its cr@p....

the only road route to BP is down the M180 ?

no mention of beer being available on the Scotties Bar menu

no reference to the signature dish of Fish and Chips being available throughout the town

MacDonalds reference is reproduced word for word twice on the same page...cos they really need the advertising don't they ??

The Old Farmhouse , Stallingborough , for pre match pints ?? and if you can get from there to BP on a matchday in 15 mins then you must either  be on a motorbike ..or you are a crow.

As an away supporter can i pay on the gate ?? No idea from that information.

Nice idea, poorly executed.

On a positive note, at least the Imp, Clee Park or Darleys weren't mentioned

I wonder who runs that bar they recommend ?  

Plus it should have said "  Flags are allowed in the ground BUT  not in the directors box "

Would've thought it was fairly obvious that a bar sells beer. There is even a picture of someone getting a beer....
