We go every year if Blackpool or Preston are in our division.Last time we went we found a tidy pub in the back streets.It was the Carpenters arms.Good old spit and sawdust type.And good cheap beer.I am ashamed to say that i awoke the next morning with a blow up sheep cwtched up in my bed.We are now happily married. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

I've done a Blackpool weekender many times. It's a cracking city. However, I've never done the football weekender and never actually been inside Bloomfield Road either. I'm staying in the Queens Promenade Hotel which is in my opinion the perfect location. I've stayed in this hotel a few years back and it is good value for money!
Blackpool has a huge amount of clubs and is well known for the nightlife. Head towards Pleasure Beach and there are loads of places you will enjoy from clubs, amusements & restaurants.

Stayed here twice in previous visits and be there again. Take the family every time so they get a break at same time. As you said Marton Mere is a gd park and always a few City there.

You're spoilt for choice in Blackpool at this time of year. Make sure you get up there early on Friday and get to the Manchester Bar a few hours before kick off. Packed with City with a DJ blasting out City songs. I have yet to go anywhere that beats the Manchester Bar for a pre game atmosphere!

done blackpool 14 times since 80s most weekenders with city the manchester bar is lively and has scantilly clad dancers there altho it does get overcrowded and a few scraps have started there my personal choice and a lot of city go to the castle bar up by the casino under the tower the dj there is bonkers a bit like a roy chubby brown wannabee but great atmosphere in there and theres a pub on the pier called the british something or other has similar entertainment and lots of slappers in there thats the place to pull lol but they got flares up the top end walkabout and tower lounge but ur paying big bucks all along the prom
