    i live here too. and not been offered one !! were abouts are u up here? i am near the No.3 pub


    Hi fellow Blackpudlian

    I live in South Shore near Arnold School. I actually work for the council but no special favours (quite rightly IMHO).

    Looks like it's the big screen which, if it is like the one used at Blackpool FC's victory parade, will be amazing too.

    Robbie's not even performing...

    From my 'winning' email:
    As you know, Robbie will not be performing at the event but we’ve lined up some great acts to entertain you.

    You’ll also see dazzling performances from top artists including opera singing sensation Russell Watson, boy band The Wanted, X Factor star Olly Murs, Strictly Come Dancing star Alesha Dixon, Gabriella Cilmi, Nell Bryden, BOND and the Plain White T’s. It’s going to be a night to remember and YOU will be a part of it!

    Premier Inn has double rooms not too far away -

    Blackpool Kirkham (M55, Jct3) 7.9 miles £56


    Preston West 13.1 miles - £55

    Be careful. Those distances might seem quite a way on switch on night. Traffic is usually atrocious.

    I have 2 wristbands i cant use now so if you would like them leave a reply and i will get another user to pick the winner at random.

    Will leave open till the 26th then pick that gives you time to book a room if you are staying the night in blackpool.

    Bands will be sent out from the 27th so as soon as i have them i will post next day delivery.
