Is anyone actually going?

Yes there are people going. I bought my ticket so I'm going. That could be the reason I asked about travel.

Would have loved the trip to Blackpool for the crack but since we are going to France the week after and we are not in the main event I thought I would save some money.

Yes we are going and it`s surprisingly a good deal for a weekend of rugby .The ticket (only £5 for me as I am a pensioner) entitles me to 2 days of watching the 9s at Fylde .Then if they get into the final at Bloomfield Rd you get a complimentary pass to that.
We are staying at the Imperial and on the Sat night we have booked for the official dinner that is to take place in the hotel next door. Mark Preston is joining us on the table and if anyone wants to join us we have a couple of places left.
I will not be traveling to France so we decided to do the 9s instead.
