How to get there
By Car
The postcode for the stadium is FY1 6JJ and the journey from Exeter will take around four hours and forty five minutes.
By Train
The train from Exeter St Davids to Blackpool takes around five hours and requires two changes. Getting back on the same day proves tricky and you'd have to miss the end of the match to make the train, so an overnight stay may be required.
The nearest train station to the stadium is Blackpool South (one mile), which also passes Blackpool Pleasure Beach en route to the ground. However, trains to this station run hourly from Preston and vice-versa. More frequent trains serve Blackpool North train station, which is some 25 minutes walking distance from the ground.
By Foot
Bloomfield Road is around a 15-20 minute walk from Blackpool town centre. Follow signs for Blackpool Football Club and head towards Seasiders Way.
