Watch: Blackpool fans pack out Bloomfield Road to celebrate homecoming anniversary
Blackpool take on Burton Albion this afternoon.
Blackpool fans have packed out Bloomfield Road to celebrate the recent anniversary of their homecoming fixture.
On March 9, 2019, Seasiders supporters ended their four-year period of boycott following the removal of the Oyston ownership, with Simon Sadler ultimately taking over the reins.
There was an attendance of 15,871 for a meeting with Southend United, as a late Taylor Moore own goal snatched an equaliser as the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Last month, Blackpool announced this afternoon’s meeting with Burton Albion would mark the seven year anniversary, with ticket deals made available.
In the weeks since, Seasiders fans have played their part in sending rallying calls and getting as many people as possible behind the occasion.
This has resulted in a sold out home section and a bouncing atmosphere as the game got underway.
