SteV Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 These c***s are f***ed. Yep, but I'm looking forward to Fleetwood away next season That's what everybody was saying about Burton this season. Then they realised you hardly get any tickets, and it's a pain in the a*se to get to by train (don't actually know if that's the case with Fleetwood, but that's what you tend to find with these 'new' teams). So newly promoted teams by definition are more geographically remote? One's that we've never/rarely played before, yeah. So i'm thinking teams like Burton, Fleetwood, Accrington, Morecambe, Yeovil etc. Don't know my train stations well enough to guarantee all of those mentioned haven't got stadiums located next to a station, but if i'm generalising I would say it easier to get to the likes of Sheff Utd, Bradford, Bolton, Millwall. Obviously, there's exceptions both ways, especially with more and more of these new out-of-town stadiums like Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Surely they must be sailing close to the edge of FFP rules considering they've lost at least £20m a season for the last 5 years (or something daft like that) Points deduction this or next season?

Some of the best away days for me are journeys into the unknown, whether deepest Derbyshire or the arse end of Antwerp. I have a hundred stories from our Euro trips, and literally none from the Emirates, Etihad et al. Christ Im beginning to sound like an inspirational Facebook post.

Stifler Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Currently in the League 1 play offs is Fleetwood, Scunthorpe, Bradford, and South End. Millwall and Oxford are not far behind. So arguably the biggest club amongst that are a club whose fans will beat you up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting a placement in Oxford thinking "uni town, dreaming spires, gentlemens rooms, educated youth...thisll be a piece of piss" Holy f*cking sh*t, those kids were two steps from full-on feral. Though im guessing you meant Millwall...dial down the assumptions Stifler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just checked and if you are going on rail to Fleetwood you're looking at a 6 hour journey with all of the changes (Newcastle - Piccadilly/ Piccadilly - Blackpool/ Tram ride to Fleetwood's ground) Decent trek.

Dr.Spaceman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That tram ride is the weirdest thing ever, like more rickety than Beamish, yet it's public transport in 2017. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Fleetwood is just a tram ride away from Blackpool. I think there is a daily return coach from Newcastle which doesn't take very long. It would provide a great day out for fans, especially if it was a weekend fixture. The downside is that they would get less of an allocation than if it was one of the other clubs.

henke Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 There's decent away days and there's just plain shitholes. Fleetwood is shite, mind it's not as shite as Blackpool.

Mattoon Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Fwiw I'm from Fleetwood and live in Blackpool now for all my sins. Yes Blackpool is a shit hole, I live about 4 miles from the town centre so it's not so bad. Fleetwood is a pain in the arse to get to, a train will get you to Blackpool but then Fleetwood is an hour by Tram or by Bus. The bus will drop you right outside Highbury, the Tram is a bit of a walk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I really don't like Fleetwood. I've had to travel to both there and Blackpool for work and I much prefer Blackpool (except for the cost of parking). Its mainly because to get to Fleetwood there is this road that goes on for effing ever to get to it. Amalgenous Way or something. It can be soul destroying. A couple of decent chippys though.

Amounderness Way, yeah it's a killer that one ? Fleetwood is very much "a local town, for local people!" So Sunderland fans should fit in quite well.

I didn't hear that one, but did hear him earlier this week when the question was raised 'where did callers/supporters see each team in 12 months time'. Most of their fans were saying they'd be in the Championship, and some saying possibly heading towards league 1. He was quite bullish and insistent that Sunderland actually had a good squad/team at the moment with everyone fit. Also, saying that when they'd gone down to that level in the past they've generally done well, so he saw no reason to think the current squad with everyone fit wouldn't come straight back up, or at least make the play-offs. I did hear him arguing last night with a supporter who claimed they were £170m in debt, and his (MG) response was that it was fine as most of it was just to the owner.
