Blackpool friendly

[Bridge hibs]

Sorry but cant find other thread, my Nephew is heading to Blackpool with his girlfriend for a few days and would like to take in the game when he is down there, he is a hibs fan but not on the database, is it ticket only and could he register to get onto the data base or are the tickets purchased directly from Blackpool, or is it PATG ? 😃

[Ringothedog]

Nobody knows, no ticket details have been released yet.

Nice one. Been waiting for this for a while. Taking a car full down.

[Hibees1973]

Anyone find it a bit odd that the 1st leg of our Euro game is on Thursday 27/7, we then 2 days later play Backpool on Saturday 29/7. Then the 2nd leg of the Euro game on Thursday 3/8.

Why have Hibs taken on a game sandwiched between the Euro game given the travelling involved.

It'll be the dev squad playing vs Blackpool

[B.H.F.C]

Not quite. The first team players not involved in the first leg will play. Would imagine that means anyone who comes on as a sub getting a decent runout as well.

That’s how it’s been sold. Hibs 1.5 team.

Not quite first XI, but better than the kids.

2 sections are on sale just now. No idea how many seats that will be

[JammyDoidger]

Why is there none showing available now?

[Malonga's Cat]

I'm getting the same. I assume the blocks made available have sold out. Hopefully they just release another block soon rather than having to wait.

[JammyDoidger]

I'm getting the same. I assume the blocks made available have sold out. Hopefully they just release another block soon rather than having to wait.

Had to get block V to get 7 together, must be only singles and doubles in the first blocks already. Unless they're only selling back rows or something.

Yeah, I was the same. Right behind the goals it looks like.

We’ve been given the full south stand and following instructions the selling process order of Blackpool.

X and W now have single and double seats remaining but V now open and accepting multiple seats in one booking.

[Pretty Boy]

Got in, 2 seats in V and out again no problem. Reckon we'll take decent numbers for this one.

Bought 4 in W. Driving up from Bath and Wiltshire.

Cracking sports bar within about 20 yds too.

[LewysGot2]

Tickets bought. Not as enthused as others are because I'm hoping to get to the European fixture - which might be 2 days before. Maybe I'll fly from Liverpool or Manchester to Barcelona if its Andorra on the Thursday. Won't be a problem mind if it's the Faroes...

I said the exact same thing to my mates who are going down. I’ll end up going too but as I’m going to the European games it’s expensive trying to afford it all.

GGTTH

[Bristolhibby]

Guy on Facebook who lives in Lancashire went to get some Hibs end tickets and was told to contact Hibs and that there will be no pay at the gate?

All ticket.

Might be worth spreading the news. Or at least clarifying.

J

[Lancs Harp]

No pay on the gate facility at Blackpool hasnt been for a number of years all turmstiles are electronic.

The South Stand has a decent concourse (wider than the north stand frequented by Pools more animated fans). Its the end the hotel is at. Im guessing the East which is the normal away stand and the poorest of the 4 will remain closed. Not sure of the Bpool turn out friends I know from Bpool are aware Hibs will probably field a far from first eleven team due to being sandwiched between the two Euro games. Rangers have visited in recent seasons and had as many fans as Bpool did. They werent housed in the South Stand though.

[hibeeron]

I'm travelling up from Liverpool in a group of either 3 or 5
Last time in Blackpool we bought from ticket office no problem
As 2 of my group can't confirm until just before game do I buy 5 online from Hibs and risk wasting 2 ?
Or chance getting tickets on the day in Blackpool for away end?
Or we go in amongst home support who I'm sure will be accessible on the day
Advice please
Thanks

Buying from Hibs didn't include an electronic ticket option as fas as I could tell - only paper tickets sent by post. That might scupper a late decision.

[Keith_M]

Bought two tickets in Section U.

Really looking forward to the game, and the weekend away.

[Hibeewilly]

Got five in Section U this morning as well. Great trip, canny wait.

[JammyDoidger]

I'm guessing Blackpool are only selling the back few rows or something? Surely can't only be single seats left in V, W and X, that seems an awfy big crowd if we've nearly sold 4 blocks already.

[Garymcl]

On the jolly to Blackpool to see the Hibees what’s not to like a few of us going for the weekend football definitely comes second on this occasion lubbly jubbly 🍺🎡🚃

[blackpoolhibs]

After consultation with a few pubs, i suggest Churchills bar on topping street for a Hibs fest pre match for the game. Dj will play all the tunes we want, similar to the last time we all went to the Stanley rd club, and prices are very reasonable.

The pub is about 10 minutes from the ground, think Persevere.

If you want to come, can you please put your name below so we can see what numbers are coming.

And then add 10! Good walk from Topping Street. Makes a change though, normally The Manchester is the away fans pub on the promenade near to the football ground.

[DH1875]

So is it a 10, 20 or 30 minute walk?

[blackpoolhibs]

I walked it in 12 minutes on Thursday

[blackpoolhibs]

The reason I didn't choose any of the pubs down the front is because of the weekend nutters, it would be fight central if we all turned up there, in fact someone was murdered in the Manchester a couple of months ago with Burnley fans.

I'm guessing they want to know numbers so they can staff accordingly. You'll need more staff on for 150 than you'd need for 50 for example.

[blackpoolhibs]

They will have plenty staff on so dont worry folks, the pub opens at 10am, but i'd imagine most folk will be arriving at 11.30-12. Outside the front there is seating and benches. There is also a sports bar next door too called champs bar.

Obviously there are pubs nearer the ground, but this place is more for your normal fan and just far enough away from the nutters that frequent the Manchester and the other stag and hen bars nearer the ground. :aok:

I understand that ( in the pub game with my brother back in the day!)
I guess BH could have told the pub guvnor he could fill it with Hibs fans.
Just curious on the other points i made.
I looked at pictures of the pub on Trip Advisor.

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186332-d14090245-Reviews-Churchills_Pub-Blackpool_Lancashire_England.html
Good reviews. Well rated pub. it is.
Hard to judge how big it is though.
Wish i could be there !!


Good point BH made about choice of pub
The ones on the front are mayhem at weekends
I lived in Blackpool back in the late 80s .The Manchester was a madhoose then.
Nothing seems to have changed.
I mostly drank in pubs a few streets back from the front.
Cheaper and safer !
Sea Front pubs are magnets for bams at weekends.
So be careful down there. Lot of huns in Blackie !

I'm staying in some place called the Lynwood. £45 a night so not expecting much but the reviews suggests it's basic but clean and that will do me.

Handy for the South and Central Piers so will keep the bairn happy. Morning in the arcades and on a few rides then head to Churchills for the back of 1.

Thats a very moderate bar youve set there mate. Much better offers around town. Youd be better off in the numerous Spoons around town for decent pub grub than the Washington. Loads of places to choose from. Im as jealous as F!!! Was in Blackpool for a family get together last week and cant get over for the match.

Enjoy Scotlands summer capital :) can be Hun central tho.

[Since90+2]

Weatherspoons - for when you can't be arsed microwaving your own food!

Wetherspoons will make as much of their food from scratch as pretty much every large pub chain. They do cracking pizzas though, made on site, that a lot of places don't do.

And they're generally about 30% cheaper than Belhaven, Green Kings ect.

Washington was always good for a tightener between games in the sports bar beside Churchill's.

[Lancs Harp]

Washington had its day back in the 80s and early 90s. Casual era pub 😀

[Lancs Harp]

Loads of new bars have sprung up in and around Queens Square (near Talbot Square) mainly for after the game as its a bit of a trek to the ground. Numerous pubs around the ground Pool fans tend to congregate on Lytham road, Dog and Partridge, Alberts bar and Excelsior (their lads bar) and the Armfield Club actually on Bloomfield Road. Wouldnt have thought Blackpool will be there in any numbers.

I did some part time work in a nightclub at weekends.
Prince of Wales(Blondies) it was called then,in Yorkshire Street.
The guvnor was a Hun fae Motherwell and a few bluenoses used the pub.Tourists and local.
I was told back then that near 20% of the Blackpool resident population was Scottish or Scottish descent.
A wee bit like Corby !
Place would have been full of them for their annual bigotfest during the last week or so.

[Lancs Harp]

Aye,be careful. Even the Blackpool Huns have not got over May 2016 .

Surely better places than Spoons for fresh /home made scran !
I suppose as far as pub grub goes,its ok. A wee sit doon chippie for me !

Oh No! LH
I was not knocking your suggestions.
Had plenty Spoons food in the White Lady in Corstorphine over the years.
Just good memories of some great chippy's in Blackpool.
Your advice here has been great.
I told my Grandson about your local pub.
His group of 5 arrive Friday sometime by train . 2 adults 3 youngsters.Hotel sorted.
They youngsters are hoping for a mass "march to the match" from the pub, ala Murrayfield to Roseburn/Tynie.
I said i would ask you to organise that !!!!:greengrin

I wont be there Mick! Was at a famiky do last week and cant make next week. Another popular pub with visiting fans to Blackpool is the Castle which is behind coral island. Its probably about half way between Churchills and the ground and en route so a good chance for a beer or two at both.
Dont know whether they will open for a friendly but the concourse under the South Stand is a decent size and for league matches has numerous beer outlets.

Edit to add 2000 descending Hibs fans not used to being able to grab a beer at match. Tgey would be mad and jyst throwing money away not open the bars.

Of Course. I should have said the BH will organise the march not LH :greengrin
I guess many going down have been before,like the September weekend break.
So will know a few places for a drink . If all goes well, be a great annual event .
That or Fleetwood Town !

2000 plus Hibs supporters travelling is another excellent effort from our fans. It also shows these english clubs that there is far more to Scotland than the old firm. Our support in general is excellent, our away support has become phenomenal. Absolutely love going to the away games , gutted im missing this one due to work commitments.

2000 is an exceptional effort even moreso considering the number missing out due to the rail strike meaning the day trip isn’t feasible

[BP1697]

After consultation with a few pubs, i suggest Churchills bar on topping street for a Hibs fest pre match for the game. Dj will play all the tunes we want, similar to the last time we all went to the Stanley rd club, and prices are very reasonable.

The pub is about 10 minutes from the ground, think Persevere.

If you want to come, can you please put your name below so we can see what numbers are coming.

3 here please BH

Its actually incredible the growth of our support over the past decade. Hopefully we can get close to 13k season tickets, unsure how far away we are from that or whether its closer to 12k. Our walk ups are generally pretty solid as well. Im feeling optimistic for this coming season , think we can take a big step forward from what have been a couple of strange seasons on and off the field

Away to Bolton remains to this day one of my favourite trips I've been on .... Think the Bolton fans got a bit of a shock when 4,000 Hibbies turned up :greengrin

Train strikes!!!!!

[IberianHibernian]

2000 fans . Wonder how many will also go to Andorra or wouldn`t have booked for Blackpool if they`d known we`d have an away European match on Thursday . Presume first team or at least some of them will now fly back from Andorra to Liverpool or Manchester . " Development " team could mean maybe Boruc in goal , McGregor in defence and Tavares given a chance but players loaned out will have LC matches so rest of team would be teenagers or players coming back from Andorra .

[Stuart93]

Any pubs that hibees will be congregating in? I’m not making any suggestions as yous will all avoid it.

Looking forward to it.

How many does pub hold

[Leith Green]

It’s closer to 11500 than 12 or 13 k


Yeah i see that mate. I was meaning come the start of the new season which is still a fortnight away. Be closer to 12k by then I reckon. Again , i ll say how fantastic a support we have considering we aint had much to cheer about recently, so no big selling point to begin with from a marketing point of view

[Mick O'Rourke]

How many does pub hold


I guess BH or LH will get back to your question.
It is going to be packed,i think. Doesnt look massive. Get early doors.
My grandson is going down with 4 others and i mentioned the pub to him,so i was looking up on it.
I found a few sites mentioning the pub.
This one,on a real ale site,i got a bit startled at some of the description:greengrin

[Town centre bar that can be quite busy with karaoke and bingo.
Traditional looking interior with well hung nostalgic memorabilia.
Split level pub with higher level being at the front of pub..
which is home to the in house music/karaoke system
which is used every weekend and some afternoons
which adds to the lively atmosphere this wonderful pub generates.
Popular with both tourists and locals
Regular ales
This pub serves 1 regular beer.
Wychwood Hobgoblin Gold
Changing ales
This pub serves 2 changing beers.]

What team we expecting for this?

I think Fish & Boyle will take part.

[B.H.F.C]

What team we expecting for this?

I think Fish & Boyle will take part.

Whatever one of the goalies doesn’t play on Thursday.

On the basis that Fish is back, him and whatever centre half (probably Harbottle) doesn’t play on Thursday.

Jeggo as don’t think he plays on Thursday.

Melkersen and Doidge.

Wondering about Newell and Miller as they weren’t due to be out long but we might not want to risk them coming back in the conditions and on a plastic pitch.

Few of the young players beyond that.

[Svengali]

Hardly ideal planning with this game, if anyone from the Thursday squad is needed for Saturday
Back probably late Thursday night, and then back on a bus to Blackpool probably on the Friday

4 of us including me, if there's still space.

Thanks 🇳🇬

[Brooster]

I've got two train tickets to Blackpool on the 4.12pm on Friday 28th July from Waverley available due to two of my group are now going direct to Blackpool from Andorra.

One is an adult and one is on an adult 16-25 railcard. Will sell for £25 and £20 respectively or nearest offer.

Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks.

[HibeeDaz6270]

Any bus have 2 seats?

[BoomtownHibees]

[SteveHFC]

That’s fantastic.

[Carheenlea]

It’s a magnificent turnout for a friendly featuring largely a second string.

Not everyone can afford or logistically travel to European games so a weekend trip to a relatively easy location is always going to be of appeal.

Will be away on holiday myself so missing both European and friendly excursions - hope everyone has an enjoyable trip away

1st team need to play on Saturday, they all need minutes

Way to take the wind out of the sails for Saturday Hibs.

Could have done with a nice little 0-3.

[B.H.F.C]

What first team players are we expecting to be involved then.

Wollacott in goals surely.

Fish and Harbottle.

Jeggo maybe as he’s not played much.

Do we look to get Boyle on the park for a bit instead of cheerleading?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Surely not Boyle.

[Lancs Harp]

Surely not Boyle.

If hes fit he's going to need at least some minutes in his legs

[JammyDoidger]

Levitt should be playing at least 45 mins in this one too, get his fitness up eh.

[B.H.F.C]

Levitt should be playing at least 45 mins in this one too, get his fitness up eh.

I don’t think it’s match fitness he’s lacking, it looks like actual core fitness.

Nae doubt they’ll have all the sports scientists telling him what he needs to do but they look like they need to get a proper fitness work in to him IMO.

[007]

If hes fit he's going to need at least some minutes in his legs

Before today's game LJ said he wouldn't play today but potentially Blackpool. I'd imagine the chances of him playing in Blackpool have now increased as we're more likely to need him next Thursday so, as you say, he'll need minutes in his legs.

[JamesHFC]

So where is good to go on a Friday night in Blackpool? 🤣

[B.H.F.C]

Nobody who played more than a half last night will be involved I wouldn’t think.

Wollacott, Fish, Harbottle, Jeggo and Boyle will be involved I think. No sure about who else.

[Wakeyhibee]

Nobody who played more than a half last night will be involved I wouldn’t think.

Wollacott, Fish, Harbottle, Jeggo and Boyle will be involved I think. No sure about who else.

Those 5 might get a better result on their own.

[Billy Whizz]

Wollacott, Fish, Harbottle, Jeggo and Boyle will be involved I think. No sure about who else.

Surely Boyle gets minutes, we need him back.

[Onceinawhile]

Probably been asked and answered, but is there any way to watch the game tomorrow?

[Paul1642]

I’m not even going to the game yet excited for what will be a second string hibs game playing in a friendly.

It’s weird how a summer with no World Cup / Euros leaves you craving football so much 😂

The Andorran fiasco hasn’t damped the excitement for the new season for me and I can’t wait to go on Thursday.

[JohnM1875]

So i hope the Hibbys stay mostly in bars off the front '
As Blackpool Hibs advised, Especially those with youngsters'
A lot of ex pat zombies live down there.
My lot (family)are there now and their plan is to other Hibees the meet morn in Churchills ,Topping Street and hopefully a march to the ground from there.

I dont know the history of Manchester Square.
or admin of the pub.Its a famous name
I used it in the 80s when i worked there .But it wasnt my local
It was mayhem at night and weekends with football fans,and Stags Hen parties etc
loads of quieter cheaper bars a few streets back if its just a bevvy and blether your after'
I guess the older fans may prefer that.
The younger ones and first timers will want to hit the promenade bars. understand that. Been there !

Enjoy all youll have a fab time. Most Pool fans are very friendly but there is an unhealthy rangers following in town and to them, well you know the script, they think they are playing Celtic B.

Be safe but be loud and proud.

Hi BH
I told my grandson not to tarry getting up to your pub the morn(he might be there now !!)
His pal and three youngsters are at the Hopton Hotel for till Monday'
So i suggested your place was a 20 minute walk and just ask someone if you get lost.But they wont.
Not with these smart phones they have and contacts already there!

I’m not even going to the game yet excited for what will be a second string hibs game playing in a friendly.

It’s weird how a summer with no World Cup / Euros leaves you craving football so much 😂

The Andorran fiasco hasn’t damped the excitement for the new season for me and I can’t wait to go on Thursday.

Tell me about it. We are on the move at 0700 heading up from Wiltshire. Old man, myself and two teenagers. Feels like a proper away day.

Staying up tomorrow night. Can’t wait.

Bonus is the weather is showing a minimal chance of rain.

Taps Aff!
