Blackpool v Manchester City

We had a great weekend in Blackpool and stayed in the Tudor guest house on Crystal Road which was just a few minutes from the ground. Lesley and Kevin made us very welcome and we would certainly stay there again, although it wasn't weelchair accesible, it was fine for ambulent disabled supporters like myself.

We were offered a warm and friendly welcome by the blackpool stewarding team who were expecting us, they showed me and my Support Dog Dougal to our seats which were on the front row of the tempory stand, although it now has a roof I think had it rained we may have got wet.

the view once people had settled in their seats was good however my Daughter and Myself had to stand most of the time because of the constant trickle of people obstructing our veiw on their way to by refreshments which could be a problem for weelchair users.

The toilets were again portable however they were clean and dry certanly untill the second half when the accesible ones were a bit wet.

over all a fantastic weekend made even better because we won.

A very interesting experience and all i can say is i'm glad it was a sunny day!

The away section is a totally uncovered area and wheelchair users sit in front with carers sat in the row behind. The view is adequate but spoilt by constant walking past of fellow supporters getting refreshments/going to the toilet and stewards.

The accessible toilet was a portable one but probably one of the better ones i have been in.

Parking is nearby in pay/display but free for blue badge holders for up to 3 hours.
