The season ultimately ended in disappointment, with the Seasiders missing out on a place in the League One play-offs. Despite results elsewhere going in their favour on the final day, they were unable to claim a top six spot after losing 3-2 away to Reading.
It was a year of highs, lows and missed opportunities for Neil Critchley’s side, but a number of positive occasions do stand out, especially those involving the fans.
At the beginning of September, Bloomfield Road was bouncing as Blackpool claimed a stoppage time 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic.
Jordan Rhodes had opened the scoring in the early stages, before Josh Magennis pulled the visitors level in the 89th minute. The celebrations in the away end didn’t last long, with Kenny Dougall snatching the win for the Seasiders.
