Blackpool Football Club
Blackpool F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackpool Football Club (pronounced /ˈblækpuːl/) are an English football club founded in 1887 from the Lancashire seaside town of Blackpool. They competed in the Football League Championship in 2009-10, but will start the 2010–11 season in the Premier League, having won the Football League Championship play-off Final. The club's home ground has been Bloomfield Road since 1901, and their main nicknames are the Seasiders, the 'Pool and the Tangerines, the latter in reference to the colour of their home kit. Their motto is Progress, as featured on the club crest. They have a local rivalry with Preston North End, with whom they contest the West Lancashire derby. Since May 2009 the club has been managed by Ian Holloway
Blackpool's most notable achievement is winning the 1953 FA Cup Final, the so-called "Matthews Final", in which they beat Bolton Wanderers 4–3, overturning a 1–3 deficit in the closing stages of the game. During that post-war period, Blackpool made three Wembley appearances in six years and came close to winning the League Championship on several occasions. They also supplied the national teams with many players, notably for England in 1953 when four Blackpool men lined up at Wembley, causing the Daily Mirror to declare that "Blackpool F.C. are playing Hungary today",[1] though it became a day that English football fans would rather forget.
Conversely, in 1982–83, Blackpool finished four places from the bottom of the entire Football League, their lowest-ever ranking in the competition, and were only saved from relegation to the Alliance Premier League because the re-election system voted in their favour. Twelve years earlier, the club was playing in English football's top flight. Blackpool's average position in England's 92-team "pyramid" in the past decade has been just below 52nd place.[2]
In 2010–11 the club will play for the first time in the Premier League, the first tier of professional football in England. It will be their first appearance in England's top flight since 1971. Before the promotion, they were a member of the Football League continuously between 1900 and 2010
