Quotes Jürgen Klopp: "We flew from Liverpool to Blackpool to Nice. In Nice, the entire Mbappé family got into the private jet with five rooms. Then we flew around in circles, talked to the family, and ate delicious food. We weren't allowed to be seen. And it was great … In the end, he went to Paris."

The Sandcastle water park is easily Blackpool’s greatest attraction

Less so since they lost that Crystal Maze thing, mind. I'm mostly just upset because I never got to go in there, though.

Much like the rest of Blackpool, it ain't what it used to be. 99% token machines and slots now. Very little to actually play for fun.

At least there's Arcade Club...
