Parking in Bloomfield Road

Bloomfield Road, originally known as Gamble’s Field until 1899, has been the home of Blackpool FC for over a century. Known as The Seasiders, Blackpool have had a tumultuous history, finishing anywhere from top flight runners up, in 1956, to 21^st in Division Four, in 1983. The clubs most famous moment is perhaps winning the 1953 FA Cup Final, coming back from 3-1 down to beat Bolton Wanders. It is often referred to as the Matthew’s Final due to the heroic performance of Stanley Matthews. Match days can see over 15,000 people entering the stadium. This can make the area quite busy, meaning booking a guaranteed parking space is often much easier and cheaper than parking on the day.

The closest station to the ground is Blackpool South, roughly a 10-minute walk to the ground, and provides links to Preston, Blackburn and Preston. It also provides a link to Blackpool North, the main station serving the seaside town, which provides services to London Euston, Manchester and Birmingham.

Blackpool is not only a great location for football, it is an incredibly popular area full of tourist attractions, be it Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The Blackpool Tower or Madame Tussauds. All of these are located just a short walk from the stadium, alongside a wide number of pubs suitable for away fans. Recommended watering holes include The Auctioneer, The Albert and The Lion, and The Swift Hound.
