Dubbed the ‘homecoming’, the Seasiders packed out Bloomfield Road to witness a dramatic 2-2 draw with Southend United.
A stoppage-time own goal (ironically via future Pool loanee Taylor Moore) earned Terry McPhillips’ side a point, but more importantly caused a huge release of emotion that went far beyond one game of football.
