F.A Cup First Round - Bolton 1-0 Grimsby - Report Post #103

I imagine that will be for the basic  package, meal and cushioned seat in the WSU. 

We got a "proper" box at Blackpoo a few seasons back as away tickets had sold out. Got three course meal, unlimited tea and coffee (don't knock it!), programmes, complimentary dressing gown, slippers and towels. Plus some free banter with the Blackpool fans when Chungy equalised. All for £50 each.

I've often thought the Wanderers corporate is too expensive, there's always empty boxes which could be filled if the club rethought it's pricing structure.

I think part of that is that they have been reluctant to reduce the prices since the top eight in the prem days, I'd like to try the box experience but never got round to it I wonder what they're at for the Grimsby game or whether they're even bothering opening them

The package as you said is the basic one with a meal and a seat on the half way line, but that is in the Nat Lofthouse stand in the ESU, which as the upper tiers are closed will be like a ghost town,

Slippers....?

(Was going to try and shoe-horn a "kippers" gag in there but decided that the idea that you get a free pair of slippers when you attend a football match was funny enough in itself, so I left it.)

Why is everyone goin on about Fish when the Chips are down !

Blackpoo use their hotel bedrooms as corporate boxes, like we do for the away fins. 
If it wasn't nailed down, int back ot van it ends up.

Still got a fish pun in too.

That's not a Kettle of fish is it?

Just hope he rests Clough, Beevers, Wheater and Madine for this. Can't afford any injuries as we've seen already this season.

For Cod's sake 74 you'll have to re-write as there is no mention of fish in your last post
