Blackburn/Benidorm

[ClaretsPadiham]

B*stards have a pre season game not far from Benidorm.

Why cant we have something similar, imagine a few days in Benidorm in the sun with 100s of other clarets.

Not going to lie im jealous

Looks lush.

This is what prisons would look like if they had outdoor swimming pools.

I’d rather lick my own arsehole

What a showoff.

Credit where it's due, some feat to take your entire fan base on an away day.

I remember being on a stag do a few years ago in Benidorm and we got a very early flight. Arrived at the hotel and we were pretty much the only guests there.

We dumped out bags and sat by the pool having a few beers as the parade of stag and hen do’s started to arrive.

A group of Blackburn lads showed up all wearing rovers gear. We were all Burnley lads so proceeded to sing no nay never and have some general banter.

The biggest rovers lad took off him shirt and dived head first into the shallow end of the pool. He ended up with more claret on him than us with his nose all over his face. They were good lads and we had a good laugh in a few bars later on in the night

I think that banner on the far right is the most nauseating thing I have seen for some time.... "Champagne Super Rovers"

Agreed above, doesn't look the nicest place tbh. Hope they change that water in the pool daily also.

[Aclaret]

Premier League clubs don't go to Benidorm....they have much more Class !

[Somethingfishy]

That's a 5 star hotel when you live on a caravan site...go easy

[Tribesmen]

Hey Benidorm never been there and I can see why .

[AlargeClaret]

“ Champagne Super Rovers”

Looks like some kind of male only sauna..

[ISpeds00]

Maybe they are out there with that scruffy looking Frank the Stag Man - he looks like a Rovers fan the reprobate

[Big Vinny K]

Is that The Maldives ?

Looks incredible….rarely seen architecture like that.

Stunning

[Bosscat]

Someone told them they had seahorses in the pool

I’m definitely old. As could not think of anything worse.

[fatboy47]

What's "Benidorm"?

[bobinho]

Is that lad playing with a claret and blue ball??

[ollieclarets8]

This is what prisons would look like if they had outdoor swimming pools.

Full of blokes - I hope not.

[BurnleyFC]

Looks lush.

First thing that came into my head.

I wouldn’t stay there if you paid me.

[TheFamilyCat]

Best bath they've had this year.

[Somethingfishy]

Best bath they've had this year.

The only one.

Why can’t we have that? Largely because we’ve been a successful club for the last 15 years, which means our pre seasons are spent at premium pre season fitness centres etc….

Our time will come for bad training centres and trips away that are accessible for fans…… but until then, enjoy just being miles better than them.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Probably be broadening their horizons and treating themselves to a few donkey rides on the beach.

[Stanbill05]

Budget **** up in Benidorm watching their team? Never been but sure I could find the fun in that. Good luck to em - clearly not taking themselves too seriously. It'd certainly be worse if they'd put those flags up in a decent hotel..

Though selfishly I still wouldn't mind a game at Turners Cross / Tallaght "Stadium" every couple of years

[IPAclaret]

Bturds, full of their own self importance

I'm sure after they beat Everton it'll be giddy time again for the deluded ones down ewood.

[rincon]

Nowt wrong with Benidorm, most people who slag it off have never been and base their views on the tv series. If Burnley played anywhere near Benidorm I'd probably have a look over.

[durhamclaret]

Hey Benidorm never been there and I can see why .

It’s not all like that, Benidorm is a great place, you don’t have to go to the Stag/Hen bars if you choose not to, great beaches, great weather, all round good fun.

[Row x]

Strange, all this talk about benidorm

That hotel is in torrevieja.

I’ve been, and it’s exactly as I thought it would be and more. It’s Blackpool with sun.

[Clovius Boofus]

I've been there on a **** up. The old town was fine and so were some of the small bars in the new town that tend to keep the riffraff out by charging more, but I wasn't keen on the rest.

Fair enough if you want cheap and cheerful, but with that you've got a load of people who look like proper scrote-scruffs. Went in one bar and some of the tourists stunk so much that I doubt they had ever had a bath or shower - I'm not joking either. The local garbage collectors were better dressed.

Everything i have ever heard or read about the place i know for sure i would just hate .

But you haven’t been to find out

[Bow]

I’ve been once on a lads holiday, I expected to hate it but I absolutely loved it.

It’s clean, the people were friendly and I didn’t see any trouble. And it’s dirt cheap.

Edit - I’m talking about Benidorm not Blackburn. That is a dump.

[Shaun1983]

The games are being played at a sports facility in murcia called the pinatar arena football centre which is about 80 from Benidorm. I am currently visiting parents about a 15 minute drive from where the games are being played at thought about going to watch them against the local la liga side Elche on Friday with my lad. Was planning on going in our Burnley shirts and cheering on Elche.

[Tribesmen]

But you haven’t been to find out

OK you win .

[ollieclarets8]

Been twice - not sure about Blackpool though. No theme park, but plenty of riding.

[LDNBFC87]

One of the biggest dumps on the planet, the other is Blackburn.

[Cardclaret]

Been once, strange place, the old town is at one end which is quite nice. The far end of the prom has lots of 4/5 star hotels and the bars and restaurants in that area are pretty much like any other Spanish tourist resort. Between these two is a huge, vibrant, in your face, cheap as chips, hot blackpool. At least it was like that when I visited ten years ago.

[burnmark]

Winning 4-1 in their friendly versus Qatar SC. Their fans are singing ‘ei ei ei o.’

[GetIntoEm]

Levante beach is one of the nicest beaches you will find in Europe. Benidorm gets a lot of stick but it's not all full English breakfasts and cheap pints

[AlargeClaret]

Benidorm probs one of the most misjudged resorts there is . It’s hugely popular with Spaniards for starters , superb beaches , clean , loads of quality food etc . The “ Blackpool bit” is only really a midtown (new) strip . It’s generally an “ older” crowd than your ayia napa /Kavos hordes . Some cracking tribute bands too, never seen trouble there either .
Walking around Lake Como it isn’t though …

[Spike]

Winning 4-1 in their friendly versus Qatar SC. Their fans are singing ‘ei ei ei o.’

They will win the League in July this year!

[Hutchy]

[Hutchy]

Watched the game as I was bored. Turned out to be a treat for the locals of Murcia. Ismael has got them playing a Klopp style pressing game and they are breaking with the pace of De Neve, Kargbo and Ohashi. Think they are going to surprise a few this season with a new approach.

Yuki Ohashi is looking clinical and like he means business. I don't know how they find them. Two excellent finishes from him tonight. Early call from me...Ohashi to win the Championship Golden Boot.

[fatboy47]

Well that'll be something for their 3,000 odd adult STHs to enjoy Hutch.
