Blackpool accommodation tips pls

Yup, we are finding some good pubs there tucked away.

Poulton is great for afternoon drinks, Breck Rd bars get a bit loud and lairy late on a Fri/Sat. But thats an age thing for us, lol. Train to Blackpool runs late doesn't it? Last one from Manchester leaves about 23.30? Five mins from PLF to Blackpool North. That no good for you?
We watched England QF in the Thatched House (often see Paul Stewart in there)

By the time we'd messed with a train & tram to Fleetwood-by-the-Sea the Uber was better value at £20.

Saw the game in a sports bar in a little square type area.

Had a lift over there from family so no outlay going out.

When we moved here (Poulton le Fylde) we expected to avoid Blackpool completely. But have been a few times for gigs at The Waterloo (excellent venue, rough area on South Shore) Shows at the Tower Ballroom and comedy club near North Pier.
It certainly lives up to it's reputation as a shithole in many ways and areas, however it has it's good points too.

Abingdon Street Market is excellent for food and drink and stalls, and yet there are some dodgy as feck pubs around it.
Then there is a great cask ale etc pub called Cask & Tap on nearby Topping Street. While literally across the road is one of the shittiest looking 'Sports Pubs'. We were sat Cask enjoying a pint in nice surroundings, whilst watching across the road, people on mobility scooters roll up and others came from within the pub to buy their shoplifted swag.
Michael Wan's Wok Inn is an Asian 'street food' place right opposite North Pier which does some of the best food I've ever had. Next door is a bar like something from the crappest part of Benidorm.

Blackpool certainly contradicts itself.

Cask and Tap is excellent as is the Cellar Bar in Albert Hotel
 
If anyone's looking for a good quality hotel in Blackpool at a realistic price The Fox Lodge on Hornby Rd is good.

It's about 50/60 quid pppn incl a nice breakfast.

Central but quiet and very clean.
