My football tour

Feb 21 - Crewe Alexandra vs Accrington Stanley

Hmmm... just wondering if I might be able to join you at this match. It's not that far from Stoke.

It would be great! I tried to include a Stoke game in my plans so I could visit you there, but the only home Stoke games during this period are Stoke vs Swansea on Feb 26 (day of the Carling Cup Final) and Stoke vs Norwich on Mar 03 (day of Liverpool vs Arsenal)

Yeah I had a look at their fixtures as well. Shame you can't go and experience just how cold the Britannia really is, haha.

Of course there is still the fact that even from Wembley and Anfield on those game days you will still be able to see alot of the ball from the Britannia with the way Stoke play, just look upwards....

  

Diego I just wanna wish you a safe trip, a great time, enjoy everything you can and won't even mention the fact how freackin jealous I am. Enjoy it mate.

Mar 01 - Travel to Blackpool
Mar 01 to Mar 03 - Stay in Blackpool

I'll say it before anybody else does, Blackpool is an utter utter shithole. Just don't want you going there with this idea that it's our version of Vegas as some would have you believe. The seaside area and surrounding streets are run down, decrepit and filled with stag dos from Moss Side and as for the B&Bs, pay the extra and go for a proper hotel!

Is it that bad? I always heard it's a nice city. I got a ticket for the game though, and I have a soft spot for the club because I idolize Sir Stanley Matthews

Is it that bad?

Yes.

My parents took us years ago for a holiday and I thought it was great as a kid but me and my missus stopped off there on our way down from The Lake District on our way to Liverpool a few years back and I discovered it not exactly how I remembered.

Rep's description sounds about right to me.

I'll shorten my stay there for just 1 day then!

Diego

Ok I was successful today in the ballot for a cup final ticket,  don't worry I'm not just rubbing it in 

I genuinely believe that Liverpool Football Club is unique and don't just think that the Liverpool family is a statement to just throw out there.
I have been lucky enough to go to cup finals before, and I feel that I will have more chances to follow the club to others in the future, however this could be your only chance to see us in one.

If you want and there is a way to sort it out and within your budget I'm happy for you to have my ticket...

Haha, Si if he can't do it or it can't be done I'll be there myself lad...

One off chance for him as far as I can tell. Not for us...

It's also a plane journey for me as well, albeit a much shorter one so I want in

Just kidding and when Diego reads this he will explode with excitement!

I think 'explode' is precisely the right word!!!!!!!!

Just sent you a PM mate.

I'll bet you looked like this for a few minutes though

That is a most generous offer to make Paisleydalglish, I know how much Diego will appreciate what you've done for him 

Stunning stuff Paisleydalglish. Top man.

Diego will definitely appreciate it.

And I'll definitely be jealous. Diego lad.

I've already talked to him via PM so he knows how pleased I am to know there's someone even considering helping me out that way. I really hope someday I'll be able to pay back such a favor. It means so much to me. YNWA

Amazing offer, nice one PD! Now you'll have to decide what to spend Diego's £1200 on.

As I've told Diego, all I want is face value...

I'd think all PD would want, apart from face value, is for you to enjoy yourself.

PD you are a true gent.

Respect mate!

I will!!!


By the way, anyone fancy going to Tranmere Rovers or St Helens (rugby) game? I accidentally bought 2 tickets for the St Helens game, I emailed them to get a refund but if anyone want to go with me then it's even better. It's really close to Liverpool city isn't it.
