Coach Parking
Central Coach Park is a short stroll from the stadium. Coaches are advised to park on here. However, it is Council owned and operated on a pay and display basis, please contact Blackpool Borough Council re charges. Please remember to build this into the price of your coach ticket. Match tickets will NOT be provided by the RFL for coach drivers.
Road Closures
The Manchester to Blackpool bike ride will also be taking place on 12 July and road closures will be implemented from early on Sunday morning along the promenade. There is also likely to be no access to the promenade from many of the side streets leading onto it.
Travel and arrive early - the turnstiles will be open from 2.30pm for the Northern Rail 9's Plate & Trophy Finals. Please do not plan to arrive near kick off time as traffic in the area will be heavy and delays are inevitable.
