Details confirmed for Blackpool's final day trip to Reading - amid potential battle with likes of Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United
Details have been confirmed for the final round of League One fixtures.
Blackpool face seven crucial games to secure their League One status for next season.
The Seasiders currently sit 21st in the third tier, and will be hoping to use their recent 3-2 victory over Port Vale and 0-0 stalemate away to Cardiff City as a platform to build on.
Ian Evatt’s side welcome Burton Albion to Bloomfield Road this weekend, before taking on Exeter City on the Fylde Coast on Good Friday - with both opponents also in the scrap to stay out of the bottom four.
Wigan Athletic also form part of that group just above the line, but have experienced a recent bounce since the opponent of Gary Caldwell, while Rotherham United, Northampton and Port Vale all sit below Blackpool.
Final day details announced
The Seasiders will be hoping to secure their safety as soon as possible, and will want to avoid a nervy final day trip to Reading.
Under Neil Critchley just under two years ago, the club went to the Select Car Leasing Stadium needing a win to secure a play-off spot, but were unable to get the required result, and won’t want history to repeat itself with worse consequences this time around.
It’s been confirmed that all League One fixtures on the final day (May 2) will kick off at 3pm, with no move away from the usual Saturday start time.
It’s the same story in League Two, while Championship fixtures will get underway at 12.30pm.
