Updated: Fleetwood Flyer & Blackpool Post Match Party

Saturday 15th September - Fleetwood Town v FC United of Manchester

Following in the wake of the hugely successful Rammy/Rossy Rattlers, the Supporters Network, in conjunction with the North & West Lancs Branch, are pleased to present The Fleetwood Flyer & Post Match Party in support of the Development Fund.

We have chartered two private trams (departing lunchtime) to take us from the Southern end of Blackpool, along the coast up to Fleetwood in time for the game.

After the game, the trams will take us to our post match venue, where entertainment has been laid on, featuring singer/guitarist John Reynolds (many of you may have seen John before and be aware of his talents), a DJ & Karaoke. Food will also be laid on. There will also be a raffle and associated events, also in support of the Development Fund.

The all inclusive ticket price of £10 covers tram travel, admission to the post match venue, all entertainment and food.

Tickets will go on open sale at 12:30pm on Saturday 8th September in the foyer of Bury FC Social Club.

Full details concerning the departure point and exact time etc will be announced Thursday 6th September.

Please note that as the event and trams are limited by capacity and safety restrictions, there will be a maximum of 200 tickets on sale and admission to the post match venue will be strictly by ticket only.

The event is scheduled to conclude around about midnight. There will still be public transport running at that time, in the form of trams and buses, to take you back into Blackpool after the event.

Please remember that all profits from this event will be donated in support of the Development Fund.
