The crimson crush/blush/plum varieties are all extremely blight resistant. If you have suffered with blight before then you can grow these and wont suffer. It's looking like two of my tomato plants are starting to get blight. Fruit getting that slightly off yellow colour when ripening.
Bloke from my allotment reckons you should water the ground with some dilute jeyes fluid if you've had blight there.

‘Slugpellet Steve’ on our site was a big believer in Jeyes fluid for blight apparently. Came up in conversations last year with another neighbour. By the time he left his plot was practically glowing from the amount of chemicals he was throwing around so I’m not sure it’s something I’d do on a whim :/
Touch wood we’ve escaped unscathed this year..
Looking at San marzano varieties for next year as supposedly hard as nails/blight resistant and great for passata making.

I lost all 16 tomato plants last year to blight, have planted 8 plants in same spot this year and I am now totally drowning in them . Picture of 3 large carrier bags full I picked today here (if it uploads successfully).
Think it is driven by what variety you plant rather than where they are planted, and also the prevailing conditions of course, this year I planted Blush, Crush, Cherry, Plum and Marmande.
