Car Parking:  There are ample Pay and Display Car Parks around the Stadium with varying prices.  As it is currently the illuminations season in Blackpool, charges may be slightly higher than other times of the year.  There is also a limited amount of street parking near to ther Stadium.

Where to Eat:  Blackpool is not short of places to eat with McDonalds and Frankie and Benny,s just on the opposite side of the car park to the Stadium.  There are also plenty of pubs that serve food and also welcome away fans.  One such pub is the Swift Hound which welcomes away fans.

Where to Drink:  As well as the Swift Hound (mentioned above), there is also The Manchester pub on the promenade which welcomes away fans on matchdays. The Bridge and the Auctioneer on Lytham Road are also both recommended.
