anyone know the nearest airport to blackpool? ( i know blackpool has an airport but i mean an airport where planes fly into)
how far is blackpool from that airport?
when is bluewolf going to send out flyers and post aplication forms for the up and coming festival?

thank you for your time

You are from up elgin way arent you. Best probably to fly to manchester and there is a train direct from airport to blackpool (about 40mins). Ring the casino for details as they are all up already.

I dont know where your from but ryanair fly to blackpool from stansted

Woodsey

i cant get to stanstead from here without going past blackpool by road or rail
unless i fly into another london airport and get a taxi to stanstead

basically makes the trip worse than going by rail

where abouts are you?  easiest way if ur in london, is to get a train to picadilly then a train direct to blackpool, then a taxi to the casino, it prob cost you about 90/100 quid, 

danny i heard has broke his leg, so dont think he will be manageing this event, not to sure tho havent been for 2 weeks,  but u can give the casino a ring or u can register at any grov for the events,

i think train is the best way to go, dont have to waite around for ages in the airport lol,

see u there

i live in the north of scotland
train last time was a nightmare
including having to be carried accross the track
and changing stations in glasgow
and missing connections
meaning i got into blackpool just
in time to book into the hotel
and get to casino to play
after leaving my house at 8 am

ah scotland strange place to live :) lol

carnt u fly direct from scotland to liverpool? then maybe get train from liverpool to blackpool or a cab?

ironside,

manchester is definitely your best bet flying from aberdeen or glasgow. there is no train from liverpool airport so you'd have to go into the centre and still face 2hrs on the train.  it actually takes a surprising 1 hr 50 minutes to get to blackpool from manchester on the train.
with your combined flight and check in time, i hate to say it, but i'd actually drive or catch the train. given your difficulties with the train last time, perhaps the drive is the best bet :( 

i don't know how fast you drive (i never speed, of course ;)) but i would say about 3.5 hours from glasgow is about right. my brother lives in glasgow and i'm in preston so i speak from an informed perspective.

hope this is helpful,

dan.

unfortunately ironside is from Elgin I believe, which will make the drive around 6 hours if he nips on  :o

Manchester from Aberdeen is your only real hope ironside

or hows about, fly to Stansted/Dublin/Belfast from Aiberdeen, and then connect to Blackpool from there?

Yes Bluewolf get the flyers and stuff sorted. :)

I would have presumed they had already been sent out. I'm sure if you call him he will post everything u need up to you. the number is 01253 341222

And yes Danny may not be runnin the show this time round but I'm sure Kriss and Clare will cope admirably in his absence like they have been doing so far. But who knows it's a good 3 weeks away, and breaks heal so he may be there.

i aint got a passport so that rules out dublin and proberly belfast

and i am thinking of playing the 500 while i am on a rush
just won the buy in tonight in the international

No passport ironside. Well done at the international. Any word of them moving premises yet?

seemingly in october to market street (no idea where that is)

btw les is supposed to be writing a report of last nights game so if it
isnt here by midnight you know whom to blame

:o Oh dear, that's near the harbour, well actually the bottom of the street runs right to the corner of the harbour, and the top (about 200 yards) connects to Union Street, one junction from the castlegate. What a drop in standards that'll be. You'd better hope that Gala decide to open up some poker tables!!

BTW, have you seen this?

They'll have to drop the "s" in swanky when they move  :D

yeah read that a couple of weeks ago

they were all talking about it last night

infact when someone mentioned i had written a report on the casino
they thought that i had written the homeofpoker write up
and i didnt get a coffee all night

i was gonna tell them it was you that wrote the report
but didnt want to ruin your rep

unlucky ironside ;D
