4 of us booked into The Wellington Hotel on Coop Street and another 4 booking up tomorrow. The hotel is specifically for groups, has a games room and a 24-hour bar. Looks pretty smart from the website. Just up from Central Pier, £59 for the 2 nights, including breakfast. I'm looking forward to it, should be a riot! :greengrin
Plus there's groups of birds booked in...

We're staying Friday and saturday, train home after the game, leaves Blackpool North at 1820 then Preston at 1900. Best getting the trains booked now, saves a small fortune :agree:

Are you going to the game Stu ..?
Yes mate, that would be the plan. I visit Southport occasionally but I'd try and tie in a visit especially in order to go and see the Hibees. If I'm there and you are I shall find you my friend. :) I think we're long overdue eh!
I will be staying in Blackpool but not booked it, should be fun and hope to bump into a few on the night out!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am heading down with a group of mates, plus our fathers. Its my mates birthday on the saturday so we are making a weekend of it.
I have been advised that it is a "Punk and Rock and roll" festival weekend that weekend in Blackpool and some hotels have been reluctant to take bookings for groups of men who are staying for 1 night:grr:

Was in Blackpool for a mates stag weekend a while back and the place is awful, a few highlights included:
The 24hr bar that actually turned out to be a bar that was open when ever the owners could be ersed serving.
The 'full English breakfast' that consisted of a sausage, 2 McCains smilie faces, a rasher of bacon and a scoop of tinned tomatoes.
The fully en suite rooms, except for the rooms that had broken toilets so anyone in those rooms had to use a communal bathroom with a cold shower.
The bedsheets which were minging when we arrived, including 2 sets which were stuck together with an unnamed sticky substance.
The fact that they locked the door at 2AM and wouldn't let anyone in after that time and it was our own fault if we wanted to go out drinking until late apparently. It was a stag weekend FFS.
And to top it all the guy that owned the place had the most ridicluous wig i have ever seen, everytime i saw him i wanted to pi55 myself laughing.
We weren't exactly expecting the Ritz but this place advertised fully en suite, full Englsh breakfast and 24 hour bar. That's all we were really after but the place was just a joke.
