Blackpool

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Everythings boarded up and its a general shit hole. Don't know how they can get away with calling it the "Pleasure Beach", when nothing works and the staff are sub-human scum. Might have just been a bad experience but it still hurts! :oops:

I worked up there for months in the 90s - brilliant fun but don't go with high expectations. Think of it as a down-market version of Margate!!

Fill your boots with this link to 106 hotels in Blackpool.

Try to get a B&B or hotel between Blackpool North / Blackpool South stations as this will put you near the ground (just up from South station) and all the banging clubs.
