I just wondered what you guys thought of our trip there, our opponents and what plans you have made for the game. Have any of you been to Fleetwood before? The ground or the town itself?
I am really looking forward to this game and not just because it's the opener but because the game represents part of the history of Fleetwood Town FC and also it is a place ( and ground ) i have never visited before. Obviously we can't make score predictions as we both probably haven't finished selling / recruiting new players for the kick off but we all know that they have a bit of cash for this level and in signing Steve Gillespie i believe he is one of the best strikers in the bottom two leagues and it just didn't go for him at Colchester. They also have 'THE BEAST' Jon Parkin. Early indications show that they have every intention of doing a Crawley and buying their way to league 2.
I'm planning to spend the morning and early afternoon in Fleetwood itself before making my way to the Highbury Stadium for a good look around and wallow in the atmosphere. I just hope we get some bloody sunshine so i can have a few hours on the beach! Not holding my breath though. Floods probably, like it is now up here.
All in all i am pleased at Fleetwood being our first game although York would have been superb for me but it's fine. See you all there then?
COYY!!!
Just be a bit wary. Fleetwood has a reputation for trouble. I followed the news of their exploits last season and there was news of trouble at a lot of thier matches. Home following is worse. Not many of them but enough to make life uncomfortable for those showing colours on their own. Blackpool fans sometimes make up some of their crowd but it seems it's the Fleet locals who are a little agressive.
Yes they are the moneybags of this season. If comparing the Chairman of Fleetwood v Chairman of Blackpool. The Blackpool Chairman seems w bit reticent to put much money into the club, whereas the Chairman of Fleetwood is using it as a hobby and ploughs money in like water.. Seems a common thread through the leagues now unfortunatly.
I did say last season they have done a Crawley but haven't quite managed to gain Creepy's reputation. But If their fans kick off I doubt that will last. One last thing. I wonder if My Pilley will end up at her majesties pleasure. He runs an energy company Based in Fleetwood. They have a reputation I would not want. I have been the victim of three of their sales calls and to put it mildly they basicaly tell lies. So if your contacted by Commercial Meter Registrations Ltd, They will tell you that you have been put on an emergency tarrif (not correct in my case) that they act for makor suppliers including Eon (no they don't) and they are not brokers. (not true) and further it wasn't a sales call (lies) This company has had a huge raft of complaints to Enron. and Trading standards. If they ring you up make sure they send you details of any contracts by post. Not email. And do not say yes to anything, not even your own name.
Can't see how they will last the distance either. If their Chairman gets fed up and leaves or transgresses for whatever reason or for other reasons the money dries up they will come back down with a bump. They have done it with regularity through the years apparently. All there in the records to look up.
