Rugby League Summer Bash

[scunner]

Will not be returning to Bloomfield Road next season. It was moved to Leeds this year due to the EFL kicking off early for the World Cup. Next year it will be played in York.

A lot of Rugby League fans disappointed by this, from what I can see online

Good no concerts or poxy rugby on the pitch until we can afford one of those hybrid ones.

A real shame for the town and I'm sure it made BFC a few quid too. No doubt the fans will be disappointed as well, I bet they look forward to a weekend in Blackpool watching their team.

Rugby fans will be properly pissed off with this decision and who doesn't like to come to the GC for a long weekend no matter what the sport. York is a lovely place to visit but will be very expensive at that time for accommodation but not only that the ground is about 10 miles outside the city!

We played that pre season game against Leeds there. Not the easiest to get to.

Bloody awful location

Is it still the Kit Kat Stadium? Two fingers up to us then!!

I wonder if the decision was by the rugby authorities or if Blackpool FC either don’t want it anymore or can’t host it due to planned work at BR perhaps ?

Yes let’s not have Blackpool FC be accused of doing anything positive for the community by helping bring visitors in, full hotel rooms etc.

And of course you’ll be finding the money the club will lose from being open only 23 times a year?

Not at the cost of ** up the pitch after
all these events we've been here before.

Concerts Lytham 20,000 a day for four days Rebellion,comedy carpet for Dance music etc.

So missing out on one event which brings in a few thousand whilst letting the grass rest at BR so we're not playing on a mud heap by December will do for me.

Pitch seems to have handled the workload ok the last couple of years. Rugby brings in a completely different crowd to Lytham proms as well.

We've relaid it every summer since Sadler has been here and had no events on it what do you want the Rugby league boys to wear slippers.
