Looking to make a weekend of this one.
Anyone know if it's worth actually staying in the town or decamping to Blackpool?

I'm probably in massive minority but I can't stand Blackpool. I can only imagine Fleetwood to be slightly less bad.

Fleetwood isn't as tacky/in your face as Blackpool. But other than an outlet place, ferry port and good fish and chips there isn't a lot happening there.

Only up the road for me, so I'll be going.
No idea what the town is like to be honest. It has an outlet village down on the waterfront, and a big old market. That's all I know.

Blackpool is turning into an absolute hole, half of the places on the seafront were boared up when I went about 3 years ago

I went there when we played Morecambe in league 2, it is a complete dive. I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to spend a holiday there. |

Its always been tacky, but less of a stag/hen do town back in the day where foreign holidays meant going to Tenby. |

Complete hole, I live around 40 mins away and haven't been to Blackpool for 10 years or so. In face last time Invincible missed a last minute penalty and I had to sit in the home end as they wouldn't sell me an away end ticket with a lancaster postcode! |

The last time I went to Blackpool I puked on my own shoes.
That was the highlight of my weekend.

We have a couple of lads staying in the pub atm who are Blackpool and proud, but they both admit it's a fucking shithole.

I haven't been to Blackpool for 20 years, and it was pretty grim then.

0-0 when we got promoted (or won league) under McMahon was my one and only.
Cracking weekend. Stopped on M6 service station on the Friday and saw a car full of Town fans who had just nicked a fucking huge rubber plant and had it sticking out the sunroof
