Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

Not particularly singling out Fleetwood as an outstanding example of grimness but i drove around many of the side streets and much of the town centre as i got lost and it was horrendous. You're right about the road, it just seems that the more north you go on THAT road in , the more away from normality you are. When you are there it just hits you and there is no signposts whatsoever. Considering they want to become a 'bi'g club and it was their first game in the football league, it was pretty bad. There was no atmosphere, it was just a dead place with dead fans. Obviously the club has no league history and it showed. They just didn't seem to make the effort. There was no refreshments outlet in the away end we had to walk round into the main stand and you couldn't even find where the main entrance was as it was hidden away on a side street with no signs. The stadium itself is quite good, it's just the environs and the lack of atmosphere and feeling that you're at a league match that is the issue.
Well, we found the ground without a hitch (a map or one of those modern sat nav thingies is quite useful) and as for the refreshment outlet, we asked and were directed straight to it.
As for being hidden away on a side street, Plainmoor is hardly stuck out in the town centre.
Had no problems at all yesterday, and like i stated earlier, we had a great day (apart from the lack of a win) 8/

We talk about Fleetwood being Accrington- on -sea, but I thought Barrow was more like Fleetwood, I remember going there on our promotion year(1-1, Hargreaves scoring). I for some reason decided after the match to watch the Newc match in the Kings arms, boy was I glad to be able to get home safely. Positives though was the Toilets, friendly club bar and stewards.
