Must be plenty on holiday here who want to catch a game of football. Load of bollox that you can't buy a ticket for tonight without previous history. How the hell do you get previous history if you can't buy your first one? Just had a call from someone I know who tried to buy a ticket for the game while he's here on holiday but couldnt. I'm not sure if its just a online thing but why?
Why dont Blackpool FC cash in on holiday makers?

Yes , it’s previous history ticket only for tonight . It’s generally when the club/police know the away allocation is likely to be sold out ,which it is .

Because if the away fans have sold out they could try go in the home end. Simple really.

Been saying for years that we should have a neutral stand/area like Fulham used to it's the only way it would work.
No colours or away chanting etc but in defence of the club could it be more hassle than it's worth if we end up with a load of pissed up blokes?

Unless you've not noticed we've a full section of a stand that rarely gets used.

I highly doubt we’re going to attract the number it would take to fill that section.
Not sure it would be worth the money to open that section, pay for the stewarding etc
Not everyone on holiday knows a Blackpool fan, so it isn't that simple. Its ** Port Vale and we're restricting who can buy tickets.

Can't be anymore soulless than an empty north end of the east.
They could make some sort of reg to say any away fan found in home ends (causing trouble) will receive a general football banning order. Don't think many would take the risk as it would only take a home fan to spot you and wind you up so you feel compelled to respond.
I know when I've gone in home ends (abroad) I've been cheering the home team. 99% of holidayers going to BR would do the same.

That used to happen in the 1940s-50s. But then it was pay on the gate and hooliganism hadn't been invented.
