I booked a room with a view of the pitch: a strange curtain rule was introduced.

Unexpected rules during the match

A football fan who booked a room with a view of the pitch at the Blackpool FC hotel was surprised to learn that curtains must be closed during matches. 29-year-old Darren Dowling and his 35-year-old friend David Handling paid £130 for rooms that were converted from former executive boxes at the club's stadium on Bloomfield Road.

“We had no idea about such restrictions,” claims Darren.

Although the conditions in the room were excellent, this rule about closing curtains during the match broadcast came as an unpleasant surprise for fans hoping to enjoy the game.While such rules may seem strange, they are part of the club's policy aimed at maintaining privacy and control during match broadcasts. Fans planning to attend upcoming matches should keep these restrictions in mind to avoid similar situations in the future.
