Best venue in Blackpool is the Waterloo - they have quality bands there regularly.

Do they still have the bowling green?

Their football team was once a big deal.

Stanley Matthews, Alan Ball, Armfield...

As a now outsider, for Blackpool read Burnley but without the entertainment. Blackpool feels like a right sh*thole cos you have you memories and expectations but if you take away its best bits (Pleasure Beach etc) then you're just left with a Blackburn or Burnley (a dump)

Everywhere in the UK is a sh1thole if you go with the intention of finding fault.

I go to Blackpool a couple of times a year and have a good time with great friends.

Yes they do.

[Billy Balfour]

We avoid Blackpool. Best to head a couple miles out from the place.

Mid-morning, when the tide is out on a bright winter's day - park up just outside Fleetwood and walk along the beach into Cleveleys and have some fish & chips, either in a café or sat on the seafront. It's the small luxuries that make life worth living.

Lytham and Bispham are nice enough

I lived in Blackpool for years, all around that area, Blackpool, Cleveleys, Knott-End Fleetwood.
Bought a house in Blackpool, near Stanley park but moved as soon as I had kids.
Easter weekend is a **** show.
No place to have kids

Anyone stayed at the Blackpool Fc Hotel? If yes, what's it like?

I used to love going to the Cavendish in Blackburn in the mid-'70s.

Aye, sitting in the Bourne Arms beer garden supping ale watching the old boys playing bowls - halcyon days

I spent my time in Knott End in The Squash mate...full of nobbers and Blackpool fans I was never made welcome

Staying there Friday 20th when i fly in for the Newcastle game as Burnley hotels are asking a fortune.

Taking the niece and nephew on pleasure beach on the Saturday. Cant wait
