Hello Brighton friends. Blackpool weekend.

[Rugrat]

There are something like 600 hotels and B&Bs

The problem is every other house in Blackpool is a B&B ... unlike Brighton it's 100% dependant on the bucket and spade brigade

2 night minimum stay my friend. If you got the dollar you'll get a bed in the city

 

[catfish]

You'll find plenty of very friendly people in Kemp town who'll be more than happy to put you up for the night.

 

[bobby smith]

You could always pitch up at Waterhall and get looked after by the Council -)

 

[Giraffe]

Try sunny Worthing, probably more likely to have rooms available.

Try the Bridge in Shoreham. Good food. Lots of other pubs about and 20 mins via train to Brighton (10 mins more to Falmer)

Rooms there are meant to be decent

We thought you were a major seaside resort, but hundreds of Blackpool fans are struggling for rooms including families and large groups.

No offence, but if there really are "hundreds" of Blackpool fans struggling for rooms, then I'm Barbara Windsor.

Sounds like a right carry on to me.

I would consider putting a couple of the single Blackpool ladies up!!!!! 2 night minimum - picture of guest required prior to booking.

Hello again.

First of all, we booked our rooms the day after the fixtures were announced, but loads of people are struggling to get accomodation, especially under £70 a night.
As mentioned, we have probably quadruple the amount of rooms available here in Britain's number 0ne resort and most are b&b's close to the sea, cheap and cheerful.
We have 4 travelodges now from £19 a night (£29 weekend) and our top hotels like Hilton, Imperial etc are similar prices to your back street B&B's.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, Kemp street was mentioned a few times, so if that's where Brighton fans go, we'll head there.

Anyone know how many Doncaster fans were there Saturday?

Pmsl. Blackpool is one massive shithole. I actually couldn't believe how shite it was when we went there for my brother's stag weekend 4 years ago. We were even propositioned by the country's most SCRAGGY looking prostitute while queuing for the night club.

And £70 isn't far over the going rate. You won't find many of your hideous £20 B&Bs down here in God's own city I'm afraid.

 

[Titanic]

Oooh, cheeky!

How DID you know that was the image I had in my head!

[The Oldman]

Could try Eastbourne or even Gatwick Hotels.

 

[kingcole]

To be fair, you didn't say under £70 a night!!

It's the middle of summer in one of the UK's premier destination. I'm amazed that anyone found something for £70 a night and would be actually quite fearful of what you might end up in for that kind of money!

I can't believe you're boasting about how many Travelodges there are in Blackpool Next thing you'll be telling us you have four Aldis.

The fact that there is a Hilton astounds me, I just never saw Blackpool as somewhere Hilton clientele would want to go. Then again I suppose the party political delegates have to stay somewhere other than the Three Donkeys Guesthouse come conference time.

If I'm honest, I've always seen Blackpool as just somewhere that large groups of pissed northerners go for stag & hen weekends. Which really would put me right off. I've been to Skegness, once, and it was the most horrific seaside experience I've ever had. I'd never go back in a million years. Blackpool just seems to be a bigger version of that. I mean: nice lights. Nice ballroom. Nice funfair. If it was 1970.

You can try looking at some of these. Eastbourne, Crawley and Gatwick all within easy train ride of Falmer - particularly eastbourne which is on direct line.
