Easter not working for you? Not to worry – as there’s our May Day Blackpool Tournament too!
Excellent facilities on and off the pitch!
Poolfoot Farm’s state-of-the-art facilities make for an unforgettable tournament weekender for players and supporters alike. There’s 18 4G and grass pitches, a pitch-side bar, a 400-seater beer garden showing live football and an outdoor terrace dining area serving great food for the whole family!
Again in 2024, we’ll be heading back to nearby Thornton-Cleveleys FC. Only a stone’s throw away from Poolfoot Farm, there’s four new 11-a-side pitches and a fantastic club house in what was a great addition to the ‘Fleetwood Town Cup’ in 2023 and promises to be again in 2024!
