BLACKPOOL ARE PROMOTED TO PREMIER LEAGUE!

Ollie and Blackpool in the Premier League.Last August Ian Holloway's team were 40-1 to be promoted!Only Scunthorpe were a shorter price to be relegated to League One! In the end it was another example of the team just making the last spot in the play-offs and carrying on the late surge into the actual play-offs themselves. Blackpool played brave attacking football and twice came back from trailing at Wembley to beat the favourites Cardiff City in a wonderful game.They reckon promotion is worth £90 million....Blackpool,back in the top flight of football for the first time since 1971,can only get 12,555 into their Bloomfield Road ground.More worrying is how will they avoid being the 12th club to be relegated instantly on the 19 clubs promoted via the play-offs? Still Holloway should enjoy this result.He took over Blackpool in the summer after being sacked by Leicester City when they were relegated to the third tier for the only time in their 125 years history..that's football!....meanwhile please visit my Pieman football goodies shop.Better stock some Blackpool gear!!!
