Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

Blackpool is like the French riviera compared to Rhyl.

The days of the old British seaside town experience are over, all us FOC's remember what it was like but times have moved on.

It's like the fucking Blackpool tourist board on here at the moment.

I stand by my view that Blackpools needs carpet bombing, tarmacing over and starting afresh.

whoever Cityfan2 on Rawk is deserves a medal, for services to scouse piss boiling and making glory hunters who attend a maximum of 2 games a season froth at the gob.

Please share I won’t go there

I took my Aussie born kids on a visit. As we came out of the car park, we came across a junkie shooting up. I took em to City, museums, castles & palaces but they never forgot Blackpool ;)

You would be surprised. A lot of people still come to Blackpool, it does cater for all sorts, families, piss heads, tram spotters!!!
Summer 2021 was so busy it was unbelievable, a lot of it due to Covid and people not travelling abroad. This year hasn't been a busy but still a lot of people here.
Blackpool gets slated but a lot of people love it here and come back year after year. I supply the tourist industry nationwide and whilst most seaside resorts quieten down drastically from end of August Blackpool's illuminations keeps it busy until November.

I live only seven miles away but don't go to Blackpool very often. Anyway I went there a couple of week's back just for a potter about. It was great. The sun was shining, the tide was in, the prom was packed. I have been in hospital a lot recently (better now) so it was just nice to chill out in the sun There were lots of families, lots of City shirts (did not see one United top all day), everyone was smiling, what's not to like. I know it is a different story after dark but Blackpool gets a lot of unfair criticism in my view. Lytham is even better but a lot posher.

Not sure if this has been posted, but there's an interesting visual timeline of the problems at the Champions League final. I know many on here will have no sympathy, and, yes, fake tickets would have been one contributing factor, but it looks pretty grim, and in no way adequate for the amount of fans coming through.

I'd recommend watching, and at least trying to be objective, and considering whether the average Liverpool fan in that queue could have done much to avoid the situation.
