 Blackpool Panthers Home ground is at The Woodlands Memorial Ground, famous home of Fylde RFC! All Blackpool Panthers home games in 2008 onwards will be played at Fylde RFC ground at The Woodlands in Lytham St Annes, about 5 miles from the centre of Blackpool.  The Woodlands has been the home of Fylde Rugby Club since its foundation in 1920. The 13 acres which constituted the Woodlands Memorial Ground was purchased in 1946 (for £7,000!) and named in honour of the members who had given their lives during World War II.  In 1964 the 2nd England Trial was held at the Ground and a new Clubhouse extension opened. In 1970 the North West Counties played the Fijian Tourists at the Woodlands and attracted a record gate of 7,600. The opening of the splendid new Clubhouse in October 2005 marked the beginning of a period of exciting physical developments at the ground.
