With Blackpool being the last game of the season we decided we would make it along weekend & we went on the Thursday & came back on the Sunday well at least me John & Paul came back on the Sunday, Dave was heading for Spain so he went back on the Saturday morning and Carl's grandma was in hospital and he wasn't sure if he would see her alive again so he headed home after the game! So Thursday we got to Manchester all met up in Yates after having a couple of jars then headed for the 14:12 train to Blacky via Sainsburys for some beers!

 (Flag on Train)
We arrived in Blackpool around half past 3 & jumped into a taxi down to the hotel that Carl had allegedly booked but it was all shut down so we went to the pub just across the road & orded a taxi & he took us up near the train station & we found another hotel! So we all got booked in dropped our stuff off & straight down in the hotel bar!

 (John in Hotel Bar)
After a couple of hours in the hotel bar we all went to get ready to go out.  Taxi was booked for 19:45 and headed for Uncle Toms Cabin as John & Paul's father lived down that end.  After a good few pints down there it was back up into the centre to hit the town. We went into the walkabout and a rather drunk John walked up behind who he thought was Dave and grab a blokes arse & said "Buys us a drink please babes" A rather embarrased John dint know where to put himself we were all in hysterics! We then headed to a club (Hush) where these lasses were going that Dave decided to get chatting to.  Club was good full of talent and John, Chris & Dave went walkabouts. Chris got off with a norweigen bird who me & Paul was arguing like hell with lol! John got chucked out cant remember what for lol but then thats nowt new for John, & Dave was with me Carl & Paul! We all then headed back to the hotel after going for summart to eat! Finally arriving back at the hotel at around half past 3!

We all got up around half past 8 and wandered down for breakfast, all feeling the effects of the day before on the ale.  Nothing new there.  After breakfast we all went to to get changed and ready to go out we went for a walk and ended up at a joke shop where Carl decided to purchase a Michael Jackson mask.  O the fun we had with that lol!!
We then decided to go to the arcade for a couple of hours playing the machines against each other we must of spent about £20 each! Bloody dear do in them places.
We went to look for a snooker hall then finally stumbling on a Riley's snooker hall.  We all went in to find out one of us had to become a member then we all had to pay a couple of quid each.  It turned out to be about £20 between the lot of us but we could play for aslong as we wanted so we payed it and played for a few hours.  I played Carl losing 4-2, John & Paul and Chris & Dave played each other.
After a few hours in the snooker hall we headed off to the Pleasure Beach.  Myself, Chris, Dave & Carl all bought a wristband.  We went on the Pepsi Max but Carl couldn't fasten the belt and the bar wouldn't come down far enough so had to get off unfortunatly. We then headed off to the revolution and the same thing happened again so Carl took his and back and got his money back & Carl, Paul & John headed to the pub.  Me, Dave & Chris went on the rides.  the Final ride we went on was Valhalla.  We went on got in the boat our feet got soaked straigth away. We got drenched after not feeling too bad weather wise it all of a sudden felt like -50 degrees. BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
We head for the bus back to the hotel myself Dave & Chris couldn't sit down we were that wet it was freezing. 

 We finally arrived back at the hotel to get showered & dried and we all went in the hotel bar had a few beer well playing cards.  We then headed for some fish & chips for tea.  We got back got showered and ready to go out and booked a taxi and we arrived at Uncle Toms Cabin at around 8 o clock and again met John & Pauls dad!  We played snooker once again in there me & carl took on John & his dad! Me & Carl winning i think it was 2-0.
We then went back up into town and went to the Tower bar to meet some mates.

We then went to a few other bars and headed to the club that John got kicked out of the night before.  Was good music once again in there and a decent beer.  John also got kicked out again this time for been pissed up lol Nice one John cant blame you pal!
We then went for something to eat and then headed back to the hotel we got back around 4 o'clock some how i dont know lol!

We all surfaced around 8 and took a wonder down to the paper shop & the sea front.  Went back to the hotel for breakfast and was out of the hotel by around quarter to 10 we walked up to the train station to meet Bowden & a couple of his mates who came down with him.  Before Bowden & co.  Arrived Carl decided to put his Michael Jackson mask on & ask the buy who was selling train tickets if he could have 6 return tickets to "Neverland" and proceded to say that he hoped there was plenty of kiddys on the train & that he had plenty of Jesus juice & showed him a can of coke.  We all then walked out of the train station to see a family with 3 kids and John turned round to the mother that to watch her children as MJ was about well we couldn't contain ourselfs lol proper well done John good job they saw the funny side of it!
Bowden and co. then finally arrived on a coach due to engerneering works, Bowden fell off the bus pissed as a cunt.  We then all jumped in 2 taxis down to the Manchester bar where Carl was told to take his mask off but once inside he put it back on.  Ali and Mel then turned up and aload of BBS contingents, I met John (Whos doing the CR UK sponsorship with me) Graham, Allen, Wayne & a few others.
 John is in the black coat, Allen in the blue Barnsley shirt, Graham is between myself and allen at the back not sure who the bloke is in the White shirt and the Harry Potter look alike and his mate behind John!

I also saw some other mates Allen, Tony, Ian, Brian, Steve and Woody!
Then we all got singing and the DJ was praising all the Barnsley fans for so many of us coming over for a meaningless match & still been in full voice! Was great!  Shame we wasnt celebrating anything 

We then headed to the ground at around half past 2 via a chippy with me starting singing "You Can Shove Your Fuckin Town Up Ya Arse" I then proceded to shout out Sideways to the amusment to some fellow Barnsley fans!

We walked around to the away which is a temperory construced scaffolding with seats on as they build the other two stands up will be impressive when finished though to be fair!  We had to queue & as there was only 4 turnstiles it took a while Stewards were quite good aswell just for a change.  I didn't take the camera as i didn't want to be told that i couldn't take it in to the ground so unfortunatly i didn't get any pics Unfortunatly!

We took the lead through Chris Shuker & near the end Robbie Williams made it 2-0 to the SUPER REDS!  Most of the travelling fans stayed behind to applaud the team as they came back out and clapped us and thanked us for our support.  What i found quite amusing was the Blackpool fans running towards us at full time and aload of Barnsley fans had congrigated at the foot of the stand and was waiting for them then 5 mins before the end a group of riot police stood infront of the stand!

So we left the ground again in full voice in search of a program but to no avail unfortunatly.  We orded a taxi back up to the Hotel as Carl was going back due to his Auntie been ill so it was myself Paul & John left for the Saturday night!  We stood with Carl till his train was due & then we saw Gavin as we had gone back down to the station around half past 6 for train times for ourselves!  We stood with Gav made sure he got off on his way home safely and then headed back to the Hotel for a shower & to get changed! We decided we would go down to Uncle Toms Cabin again to see John & Paul's dad and then take it from there we decided we wasn't going to go out but me & John decided we would & Paul headed back to the Hotel he was shattered!  We met Allen, Steve & a couple of others in Yates and we headed once again yes u guessed it the infamous club "Rumors" John was looking to make it 3 out of 3 but failed!

We left Rumors and went for something to eat and then headed back to the Hotel we arrived back around 4ish!  Paul was dead to the world and me & John retired to bed!

We got up around 9 today as we were all shattered from the previous 3 days activities and stroleld down for Breakfast with only me Paul & John left, after breakfast we spoke with the owners for 10 mins or so and me & John had a beer!  We then headed upstrairs got washed and changed, and packed our bags as we were heading home after a great weekend  Unfortunatly we had to go home!

We went back downstairs and left our bags as we went for a walk down the front and on the North Pier. We saw Coco & his missus and stood talking to them for a while.  Sunday was by far the coldest day or was it, how would we know we were pissed the otherdays lol! 

We went into Coral Island spent about half an hour in here and started walking back up towards the hotel! We saw Jacko & co also walking back up talked to them for about 10 mins and went back to the hotel via the off licence to grab some beers for the train 

We finally go back to the hotel around half 12 and grabbed our bags said our thank yous and good byes and off we went for the train.  It was a train back to Preston.  Once we got to Preston it was a farce we had to get a bus from there to Bolton and from Bolton it was a train back to Manchester.  On arriving at Manchester we went to grab a sandwich and then we shook hands and said out good byes & i left John & Paul as i went to get my train back to Huddersfield and John & Paul theres back to Sheffield.

I finally arrived back in Huddersfield at quarter to 5 

All in all a fantastic weekend cant await for all this again next season
