We stayed in the Blyth Travellodge for the Players Rematch last year, it was OK and £10 a night cheaper than the Worksop one but its on the motorway services so its a little bit isolated with just a Burger King (overpriced and shut when you need it) and a shop which was too expensive to warrant using. I think I'll go for the Worksop one this time tho and save money by booking early.
I think the last players wasn't completely full but I could be wrong. Deffenatly a must do event!!
