SouthBirminghamVilla Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 On saturday, I am going to head here to start off. Think a lot of the pubs near the front as mentioned above will be shut. If getting the train from Preston catch the train to Blackpool North rather than Blackpool South (Blackpool South is nearer the ground). Plan for me will be to start by Blackpool North and work my way down. If I do stay over after (still not decided) may pop into the Reflex. use short links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaBrian Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 All bars will be open, they all are at weekends in the winter. It's Valentines weekend aswell so it's a busy'ish weekend for Blackpool. I haven't got a ticket so i'll head for the Castle (Behind Coral Island), has 2/3 games on at 3.00. Hope this helps lads, i go to Blackpool alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappadan Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Went Blackpool last Saturday for a stag do, what a dive but anyway all the bars we went in were open hope that helps (Sure it won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillett7 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Train gets into blackpool north at 8:30, so we'll be finding somewhere for breakfast and then working our way down. Could get messy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted February 9, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2011 Some strange comments in here. Blackpool bars in the centre don't shut for the season. Friday I would go to Poulton, St Annes or Lytham as they all have a few pubs and are far nicer than Blackpool. There are three main streets for drinking in town - Topping Street, Talbot Road and Queen St. Dixon road has a few that are more discerning in their customer ;-) Including the best late club in town - The Flamingo. Walkabout (dive) is in Queen Street as are a few other bars, cctv and a regular police presence. Yates / Wetherspoons (new and not too bad) are now both accessible from the prom and only 100yds apart. Che Bar (v popular) is on Talbot Square itself and is fine if you like wooden sticky floors. If you want to try a quieter more brown beer focussed time then either of the towns I mentioned earlier are good for the Friday or there are some half decent pubs around South Shore but the emphasis will be on quiet even on a Friday.

Undesirable Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Mitre (3 West Street), Pump & Truncheon (13 Bonny Street) and Scruffy Murphy's (32 Corporation Street) sound like decent boozers as opposed to the generic spoons option. I've no idea if these are designated home or away pubs. More info here http://www.visitblackpool.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted February 9, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2011 None of them are designated anything AFAIK, they are all a good walk to the ground tho. The Mitre and the PnT being closer. Scruffy's is the same everywhere a generic 'Irish Themed' pub... oh it used to be good in the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spl1304 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I checked out the away ground guide. Apparently a pub opposite the away entrence, welcomes away fans. Can see it being rammed from about 10am though. Oh, and that temporary stand will be bouncing. Saturday needs to hurry the **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
