Blackpool fans spent around £700 following their beloved Tangerines over the past season

Two thousand football aficionados were polled to determine what they spent on shirts, match tickets, food and drink at games, and more between May 2021 and May 2022.

On average £46.70 was spent on replica tops – with 81 per cent paying slightly more to have a name printed on the back of their strip.

Those polled went to seven games on average at Bloomfield Road – splashing out £218 on tickets and £380.33 on refreshments.

Eighty-eight per cent of fans of Michael Appleby’s side opted to buy a season ticket which cost them £373.70 on average.

Next season has plenty of promise

A spokesperson for 888sport said: “The EFL is a notoriously challenging league.

“So while some fans might be somewhat despondent about last season’s 16th place finish, many big teams have fared much worse – languishing in League One for long spells.

“With this in mind – and the return of a popular manager – next season has plenty of promise.”

Seasiders fans made the journey to seven matches away during the last 12 miles – travelling 487 miles in total.

After avoiding relegation last season supporters will be hoping the ‘Pool finish higher next season – especially following the return of Michael Appleton to the dugout.

Fifteen per cent will definitely be betting on the side winning the division - as they do this every year without fail.

But perhaps even more supporters will be having a punt on securing the championship after Appleton’s return was announced on June 17th.
