IT ENDED IN TEARS AS WE KNEW IT WOULD

Just to bring this to a neat close here is an end of season report in the Daily Mirror.

I don't want to dwell on what many thought was a certainty, i.e. the drop straight back down. I don't think anyone was actively pleased to see this happen. Most football fans like a bit of David and Goliath underdog stuff. Just look at the spring in the step that Blackpool s elevation to the top flight engendered. Obviously the cavemen at Ewood will be cock-a-hoop but thats only to be expected. Perhaps it will ease the pain of having to watch another season of kick and rush shite presided over by the charmless Allardyce.

Anyway I reckon somewhere in Blackpool today there are loads of little lads who won't sleep for a week as the Seasiders approach their own Premiership adventure. Good luck to them. I hope they stay up so that we can take 6 points of them next season after the Clarets have run away with the Championship!!
