The last time Blackpool were at Wembley, when the played West Ham in the Championship play-off final in 2012, more than 30,000 fans made the trip from the Fylde coast.

In 2010, when Ian Holloway's side clinched promotion to the Premier League with a 3-2 win over Cardiff City, around 37,000 Blackpool fans were in attendance.
