So we’re off to the bright lights of Blackpool on Saturday… Looks to be a tough game on paper, they have the 5th best home record in the league and score goals at will. The less said about our away record the better…
Many on here making the trip up? Wonder if anyone’s making a full day of it and got tickets for Strictly in the evening? 😂
Unfortunately can’t see us getting anything again. I’ll go 3-0 to Blackpool, hope I’m wrong, up the Town

Cant see us getting much, but I'm hoping for 4 points from the 2 games after (Port Vale H and Exeter A).

3 of us going Quietly confident somehow. We have to turn a corner at some point and get a song out of these players.
Come on Salop, you know you can... don't you?

Marosi
Winchester - Flanagan - Dunkley - Sraha - Shipley
Bennett - Perry - Bayliss
Udoh - Bowman
Subs: Burgoyne, Thorpe, Benning, Anderson, Sobowale, Pierre, Watts?
Still undecided about going, could be a late decision. Whilst we seem to have remembered how to score at home (albeit against bottom of the league and two bottom half League 2 clubs…) the away form has been the same sorry tale. Pierre might have to be the striking option off the bench…
Prediction: 2-0 defeat.

A battling 1-1 draw on the road. Winchester to open his account for the Town.

We've scored 2 goals in 8 away games this season.
I would take a dreadfully boring 0-0.
C'mon Salop!

I was having a look at the different tables and have seen that we are 7th in the home table but 23rd in the away table so if we have sorted out our lack of goals, we can now move onto moaning about our away form :-)
Blackpool are 5th in the home form and have scored 17 goals so it certainly is going to be a difficult game. I'm expecting nothing from the game to be honest so anything from it will be a bonus.
Odds on goals from Pennington & Norburn?

Just posted on Facebook that the initial 700 tickets have been sold and another 400 or so allocated. Superb effort that!!👏 As for the game itself, absolutely no idea what to expect. But the only sides that have beaten them since October are those above them in the table. So...

I'll be there. Going on the away bus for the first time. Cannot wait!
Jordan Rhodes has scored one less than our entire team...

Strictly weekend in Blackpool too this weekend so will Town get a ten from Anton or be in the dance off for a poor performance and a withering review from Craig?

Terrific numbers, should make it feel more of an occasion. Now we just need the team to turn up and actually make a game of it.

Solid numbers that given our diabolical away form - hopefully we can top 1,000

My bar is pretty low on this. If we don’t concede more than 2 and score, I’d consider that a decent showing.

Can see town going with the more defensive option at LWB rather than Shipley - Anderson/Sraha/Benning, especially as the midfield is already down Kenneh as the more defensive player. And so that would probably mean Bowman back on the bench, to put Shipley off Udoh.

Neither have scored yet for Blackpool, and in fact Norburn hasn't scored since leaving Town. So probably a given!

I won’t be there, as flying over to North Macedonia for England game. Hoping we carry on our excellent record against them. Not lost since a match at Gay Meadow, I believe.

Fair play, something brilliant about travelling with England away to what people think are slightly more obscure parts of Europe. Nice travelling and combining football!

Nothing will beat that visit under Hurst, daft amount of fans, feel good factor, pyro, excitement ...
It had it all, what a season!

Was that the pyro that was let off in the concourse causing a few town fans to need treatment for breathing difficulties or the one that was launched and hit a fellow town fan ruining his weekend by burning his clothing ?

Agree with all of this It's a shame auto promotion was off by this point, as the numbers would've been even higher, but as you say, great atmosphere, scenes, appreciation and celebration of a great season

Atleast 850 sold now, pay on the day at no increase so hopefully hit the 1,000 mark

We could follow the European lead on the safe use of pyrotechnics, rather than forcing youngsters to smuggle them in and having to lob them for fear of being "caught". I'm jealous of the football atmosphere across Germany and other sensible countries in Europe.

Given our lack of goals, I don't know how we are only four points behind the likes of Blackpool in eighth place... but here's hoping we are no further behind after tomorrow's game!
