Both team`s supporters and the Old Bill was out in great numbers. It was Blackpool at home.
The biggest game of the season in my opinon. You have to beat your main rival, for bragging rights and other obvious reasons. It doesn`t matter whether you`re at the top or at the bottom of the table. It`s the two games where the players have no choice but to play with their hearts outside their shirts. Yellow cards are supposed to fly out the refs pocket and the goals are supposed to be hammering into the backside of the opponent`s goal.
The only thing flying last year was B`pool supporters of the Shankly Kop. The Old Bill had their hands full with the tangerine unemployed.
Both teams where too afraid to lose and the outcome was therefore pretty damn poor. A goalless draw was not what The Branch was hoping for - but still great to be back at Deepdale.
