Ewood Spark Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 finishing in the playoffs three seasons in succession The gloss is kinda taken off by the fact that twice we lost in the semi-final (including a 4-1 trashing by Chelsea) & blew a 3-1 lead in the 2nd leg of the final vs Palace Burnley, Blackpool and PNE were in the third or fourth divisions at that point, I believe. Their fans would have been in raptures at that kind of success. True... There's also the bonus of us having beat those teams every time we've played 'em Slightly off-topic (sorry!) but when was the last time we played Blackpool? The last time we played Blackpool in a league game (if my memory serves me correctly) was on Easter Monday 1980...promotion season from the old 3rd division, at Ewood Park. We won all 3 (THREE!) games that weekend..the other two being Sheff Utd at Ewood on the Good Friday and Mansfield away on Easter Saturday (my first ever journey over the M62!). I can't rermember the scores apart from 1-0 at Mansfield (McKenzie?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
