Club & Ground Name: Blackpool FC, Bloomfield Road
What the match been played: Blackpool v Sheffield United
Date of the Match: 18/9/2007


How Easy Was It To Find?
Very easy, the ground is nicely placed near the centre of Blackpool and not too far from the beach.

8/10

Car Parking. Was It near? Was It Free?
We parked about 10 minutes from the ground and it was free.

7/10

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)?
All the Blades fans stood up throughout the match which was good. Thats the end of the good things though, it was uncovered, freezing cold and we got rained on. Plus theres only three stands, and theres always a sea breeze, which means their stadium is essentially a wind sock, which is a big advantage to whoever has the wind behind them.

2/10

Catering (Quality, price, queues)
I didn't buy anything, but the queues were longer than outside a Northern Rock bank.

NA/10

Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
Well Blackpool is obviously a tourist type town by the sea side so theres plenty to do before kick off, but the town is a bit of a dump, and the only reason people would go on holiday there is because they cant afford to go anywhere better.

5/10

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere
I was quite impressed with the home fans, they made a lot of noise bearing in mind there were only about 7 or 8 thousand of them.

Would you go again to this stadium?
I suppose I would.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves?

Car Parking. Was It near? Was It Free?

Lots of car parks near the ground but I slung in on the side of the roads so don't know about price 6/10

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)?

No roof but fortunately it didn't rain much. Seats numbers don't make sense but it was unreserved so that was ok, there was actually quite alot of leg room 3/10

Catering (Quality, price, queues)

Didn't buy anything but queues were manic 2/10

Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?

Pubs and things to do were everywhere as it is a seaside down 9/10

Would you go again to this stadium?

Probably because it is a cracking weekender.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves?

Home fans made good noise so atmosphere was ok but for away fans crap seating and barely any toilets or food. 4/10
