Where is it???
By Car: Leave the M6 at junction 32, and take the M55 to the edge of Blackpool. Keep on this road until you come across the ground.
Parking: Free parking on council owned land by stadium.
By Rail: Blackpool South is a 10 minute walk from the ground, but trains aren't that regular here. An alternative would be to get the train to Blackpool North, then catch the number 11 bus (every 8 minutes) from the station across the road. Get off of the bus by the Bridge House pub and you are practically at the ground.

Trivia
There was an infestation of fleas in the South stand shortly after Blackpool moved in. Since then, the stand has been nicknamed 'The Scratching Shed'. In 2005 Sheffield Wednesday fans were jumping up and down in the stand and the middle section gave way. Luckily, no-one was injured.
