Local event

Blackpool Illuminations

September and October see the Fylde coast far busier with tourists, affecting tram capacity.

Transport alert

Early televised kick-off

A 12:30 start usually means leaving before the first fast train of the day — pubs near the ground may not open until 11:00.

Ground note

Fleetwood has no mainline railway station — the tram from Blackpool is the standard route and can be slow at busy times.

Ground note

The seafront location means the ground is exposed to strong winds off the Irish Sea.
