rabbit 1 Posted January 4, 2004 Try Poole Tourism - they've got a complete list of accomodation. Being August, it's going to be pretty busy with tourists without the added SWC so hope you manage to find somewhere. There's a Holiday Inn Express and Thistle Hotel in the middle of Poole if you're after one of the bigger hotel names. Or try the Arndale Court which is opposite the entrance to the stadium and supposed to be quite good. If you want somewhere close to the beaches try the Sandbanks Hotel which is pretty big although it's about 3 miles from the stadium. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 1 Posted January 4, 2004 As long as you don't suggest that pub where the bloke got stabbed like you did to us Rabbit when we came down for the play off final! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabbit 1 Posted January 4, 2004 Only 'cos I knew they definitely had a vacant room and the security there was good. I mean you where else would you have had two coppers standing outside during your stay! I guess they'd have got rid of the bloodstains so I can't understand what you and Charles were worried about! Plus it was right next to the stadium - no helping some people.... By the way Happy New Year Jay !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 1 Posted January 4, 2004 There are some very good points there Rabbit! The place we stayed wasn't too bad but it was a bit of a trek from the town centre after a few lagers and watching a fight! Poole on a sunday evening... stay away folks it's only for the brave! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sussex bulldog 41 Posted January 4, 2004 For Eastbourne you have the Travel Lodge at Hellingly by Boship Roundabout on the A22 or the Travel Inn in Eastbourne. Or there are numerous b & bs. If you would like a list try the links below http://www.eastbournehotel.com/ http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/eastbourne.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted January 5, 2004 Maybe "Uncle Bob" will allow camping in that huge car park he has at Eastbourne and there's always the woods plenty of trees to put up a hammock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Addy 1 Posted January 6, 2004 Trust you to see that one I assure you a few others saw it too - but only a few understood what you really meant ? Do you still need the woods - or is the garage full ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
