I love a midweek game and never been to Blackpool away or Blackpool itself (if you haven’t been definitely avoid!)
I travelled by car 2 and a half hours so not terrible parked in a rough area but all of Blackpool is rough so i’d say in one of the nicest parts from what I saw.
I booked parking in advance, stadium was easy to locate.
The Manchester, which was lively!
We ate at Nando’s which wasn’t bad value.
We didn’t even attempt it as they had one small counter for 2,000 Derby fans.
It’s an awful away end, down the side of the goal for starters, temporary stand, columns obstructing view and random scaffolding on the columns just to obstruct the view some more for good measure.
7/10 – no noise from Blackpool and all was made by us.
5/10.
25 minute walk back to car and then straight out.
No, I wasn’t a fan of Blackpool itself.
Bigged up by everyone as best away day in the EFL, hadn’t done it up until that point so thought I’d give it a shot!
Drove the long 5 hours up with lots of problems on motorway meaning we had to drive through Preston. The traffic was absolutely terrible.
Parking was difficult to find, not enough of it as it was all full when we got there. Eventually found a spot though.
Went into 2 pubs, one was a kid friendly pub and the other had good atmosphere, called ‘The Manchester’.
Went to a Wetherspoons next to the first pier. Loads of home fans there and it was absolutely packed (as expected from Blackpool especially when air shows are on).
Didn’t try food or drink there as it’s a very small bar area with about 1,500 fans to serve.
Away end is nothing special as it was supposed to be temporary but kept since but it’s an alright view of the pitch.
Away end bouncing, home fans weren’t great but had their moments!
No problems at all. 10/10.
Police make you walk all the way around the streets etc even though there was a lane directly to our car. When arrived at the car we waited a bit for traffic to subside and didn’t find it too bad leaving stadium.
This is a must visit away day at least once just to have the excuse of visiting Blackpool.
Bank holiday weekend in Blackpool and a game to boot.
Car – just a little over 2 hours (set off before 8am) so missed most of the traffic.
Easy as pie. Big car park just 10min walk away.
A Wetherspoons called The Velvet Coaster.
We ate in the Velvet Coaster as it was so cheap.
Poor – NO BEER!!
Nothing wrong other than I know some fans had views of the columns supporting the temp stands roof.
Rocking, credit to Blackpool fans too, when compared with the fans at Bournemouth (quiet and need clappers to make noise – what’s that about AFCB fans?)
No issues with them at all so 10/10.
Easy as was staying the weekend.
£12 on Electric (Tesla), £25 for the ticket, £10 for Parking for the day (12 hours).
Yes, definitely.
