If we still had the annual wakes weeks who would go to Blackpool for 2 weeks?
Blackpool Rocks
- Thread starter maxwell silver
- Start date
I'd rather spend two weeks canvassing with Cyfr.
Yep I wouldn't mind a weekend but not a fortnight and yes Flashy have noted where not to stay
I can’t say I like the place all that much. I loved it as a kid, must admit.
It really does need some major finance to sort the place out, it just seems grotty to me.
With lots of cash chucked at it, some vision and expert planning it might become an attraction again. Until then, I’m avoiding the place.

Is part of the Classic Hotels Lilly .. stayed in a few of their hotels, and always been extremely high quality ... however, not the Big Blue.. suspect will be of the same standard though.
two weeks, I flippin lived there for 5 years!!!!!!! Never again!!!
Well I live here and believe me it really isnt all that bad. Would I holiday here for more than a weekend ? NO Its far to expensive to come and have a week here and personally when they finally put the charge on the pleasure beach I think its gonna do more harm than good.
But in all honesty to live here Yes its far better than back home, even walking /driving around is less depressing than back in ossy and accy.
I have always loved my home town but I really think the way its deteriorated over the last 10 years is bad , and no I wouldnt like to live back there.
I miss the friends I grew up with but thats all, but a lot of them have now moved away too.
Blackpool like many areas has bad parts but they are spending an awful lot of money here to regenerate it and I personally think in the next 5 yrs it will improve dramaticly as a town.

Great great memories of Blackpool..the best place to be for a weekend.. but these days costs an arm and leg.. you could always get a bed at a local BB but Flasheys time there is now typical. a weekend will cost you £400.. taken for booze and entertianment..which I ain't got... is it still full of Scots and Goeordies?

well i found it ok to live onlyme n i really did NOT want to move there, shes right it is a good place long as ya avoid the rough areas, same as anywhere else.
I've worked in Blackpool for the last 6 years and lived on the Fylde for a while too. I think when you live and work in an area you get a different perspective of a place.
I know that Blackpool has a lot of problems and parts of it are like inner city areas, but as a couple of others have said, things are slowly changing. A few years ago Blackpool had one of the worst educational records in the country, but I have seen the changes that are taking place and improvements are happening.
Daytrippers/weekenders will see one side of Blackpool, but you don't see the whole picture and so it's hard to judge the place.
