TRAVELLING TO BLOOMFIELD ROAD
BY CAR
Exit the M6 at Junction 32 and follow the M55 to Blackpool. Head onto the A5230 and then Yeadon Way towards Blackpool town centre. Follow the signs to the ground, with Seasiders Way appearing on the right hand side.
There’s a massive pay and display car park on the left, which stretches all the way from near the Blackpool South station up to the ground (£3.50 for three hours; £6 for up to six hours). Alternatively, the nearby St Cuthberts Church Car Park in Lytham Road offers forty pay and display parking spaces (£3 for three hours, £4 for five hours, or £7 for all day). It is about five minutes’ walk from the ground.
BY TRAIN
Blackpool South station is about a ten minute walk away from the ground. A limited number of trains stop here, with most calling at Blackpool North instead. Blackpool North is approximately two miles away – which may make a taxi a necessity. A cheaper alternative might be the number 11 bus, available every fifteen minutes from the bus station across the road. Fans should get off at the Old Bridge House pub (now known as the Bridge) and walk down Lonsdale Road to the ground.
BY COACH
Coaches will leave Motspur Park and Craven Cottage at 7.15am.
Coach tickets are priced at £30 for adult season ticket holders and £20 for junior season ticket holders. Other supporters will pay £35 for adults and £25 for juniors.
