Newcastle United travel to Blackpool FC on Wednesday evening, if you’ve never ventured to Blackpool before, here’s our guide on getting there and what to do, or what not to do if it was a weekend fixture…

Bloomfield Road

Capacity: 9,731 (all seated)
Address:
Seasiders Way, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY1 6JJ
Main Telephone No: 0870 443 1953
Fax No: 01253 405 011
Pitch Size: 112 x 74 yards

Unfortunatley the new South Stand isn’t ready on time, so we will have less of a following than we should and would have took to Blackpool, although, that won;t stop the travelling hordes enjoying, we’re aware of quite a few that are going to Blackpool for erm, the festivities.

Refreshments

Well, where do you start?

There’s a WMC over the road from Bloomfield Road, used to be called the Number One Bar, I assume it’s still the same, it’s friendly enough for away fan’s and ideal for a quick couple close to kick-off.

Should you be travelling down early, you know the drill, and Bars such as Castle’s, The Tower Lounge, and The Flagship need know introduction, enjoy yourselves, and if you decide to go to Funny Girls, please leave your Toon strip at home…you don;t want to be in the next Blackpool Fanzine walking in there, do you?

Travel

Travelling by car, use our interactive map to get there, by train, the South End is the station you want to be, literally 10 minutes walk to the ground, the other station will be a tram ride.

Tebay services now has a bar, happy days for midway break!

Whatever happens, don’t forget, the stand we have been allocated is exposed to the elements, might be a bit nippy as they say!
