How big is your lounge? BYOB with a £5 entry fee. Snacks available at a price.

You know it makes sense. Money to be made.

[DH1875]

My Mrs was just talking to me the other day about going down for a couple of days. It will be a pleasant surprise for her when I tell her I've changed my mind and we can go :wink:.

Just booked Blackpool South Shore Travelodge. 0.0 miles from the Stadium apparently.

[LancashireHibby]

Just booked Blackpool South Shore Travelodge. 0.0 miles from the Stadium apparently.

It's across the road from the ground, albeit at the opposite end to where we were last year. Should think we will have the stand down the touchline this time by the way (the one they were building last time).

Went with my little 'un last year so planning on a day on the booze this time!

[Lmc2105]

:greengrin

From the Bus perspective mate,

Anywhere to book in? wasn't there last year but heard there was a place where everyone went think the bus was booked in actually?

cheers El Presidente :greengrin

[Bristolhibby]

Not looking likley for me. About 4hrs drive, plus mega busy at work that week.

If it was a weekend no problemo.

As an aside, because of the mega early start to the season, are we struggling to find fixtures with English teams as they are too far from the start of their season.

You go on the train instead and get plastered so you're not bothered about your work colleagues.

[hibeeleicester]

Anyone East Midlands hibee's travelling through? Try and all get the same train through!

I'll be there. Booking a travelodge aswell.

I have booked the stanley road club again last night. The same ritual as the last time, we can have it all. :top marks

[LancashireHibby]

Only a five hour wait in Manchester between the last train from Blackpool and the first back to Fax!

I've been persuaded to go for the Travelodge option anyway. Didn't take much, to be fair.

If I'm driving over where is best place to park for the club and game? Heard the parking attendends are quite keen in Blackpool.

[HibbyAndy]

:singing:we are Hibernian f.c.........:singing:

There's a huge car park near the ground, pay your ticket and nowt to worry about. Got off there quite quickly after the game last year as well.

[soupy]

I'm doing nothing on the Wednesday if you want me to do your shift.

Just have to remind me what I do with the "Cash for Gold" and "Giro" envelopes. :greengrin

[The Harp]

Hope all the Hibees who descend on Blackpool are prepared to be good ambassadors for Scotland. We'll no doubt have to do a repair job on the reputation of Scots fitba' fans wi' the Hun hordes being there on the 19th. :rolleyes:

[Kojock]

Whoo Hoo hotel booked for three of us £15 per night each inc breakfast.

Stanley club here we come........:thumbsup:

[hibeeleicester]

Where is everybody staying?

[iwasthere1972]

BlackpoolHibs is putting us all up. :greengrin

[joe breezy]

Nobody seems interested. Sums it up really. :confused:

Yep, who cares, I'd rather we played friendlies in England all season to be honest, but I do live down here.

I support hibs because of the social side, occasionally this is peppered with football but for the bulk of my life hibs have been rubbish and the way they are being run right now looks like it's staying that way

will try and go to blackpool though

What hotel is this? Travelodge wants £49

[ArabHibee]

Probably the same Travelodge that you're staying at. 3 in the bed = £15 each (nearly) :wink:

[hibeeleicester]

Smashing. That's me and another Liverpool based Hibee driving up after work :greengrin

I did train last year wish that was an option this.

[HH81]

I hope they don't put us in that awful new stand bet the views are awful with the bollards in the way.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What hotel is this?

The Whoo Hoo Hotel just round from Blackpool North Station! ;-)

[LancashireHibby]

I hope they don't put us in that awful new stand bet the views are awful with the bollards in the way.

The centre section does have padded seats though! Plus I believe the atmosphere is much better with the lower roof.

Blackpool Central Travelodge is only 29 quid for a room, but don't be booking it up before I have chance to clear it with work!

[NAE NOOKIE]

Deffo going if I can get a couple of days off work. Should have gone last year but in a fit of blind optomism thought I would hold out for a trip to Europe if we could get past the first round.

What the hell was I thinking :greengrin

[frazeHFC]

Where is everybody staying?

My Nana's house in Lytham. Might stay just Tuesday night or Monday and Tuesday night.

[Kojock]

Probably the same Travelodge that you're staying at. 3 in the bed = £15 each (nearly) :wink:

Its actually a twin room at £30 and a single room at £15, Im quite fussy who I sleep with they must at least have a pulse. :na na:
