League One's biggest attendances from the opening weekend - with Blackpool's numbers compared to likes of Stockport County and Plymouth Argyle
Blackpool welcomed a crowd of 10,090 to Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon.
The new League One season got underway at the weekend with some bumper crowds.
Blackpool were among the teams in action at home, but had a Saturday afternoon to forget after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Stevenage.
George Honeyman opened his account in Tangerine after just six minutes, before the visitors turned things in the first half through a Jamie Reid brace - with his second coming from a penalty in the final seconds before the break.
Following the restart, Dan Kemp extended the visitors’ lead, as the Seasiders were left to regret a catalogue of errors on the opening weekend despite a late consolation from Niall Ennis.
The result certainly burst the bubble at Bloomfield Road, after the initial burst of jubilation after Honeyman’s strike.
