Blackpool beat Lancashire rivals Oldham Athletic 3-1 at Bloomfield Road in the second leg of this League One play off semi final - to triumph 5-2 on aggregate and book a day out at the new Wembley where they will face Yeovil Town.
Blackpool will travel to London on the back of nine consecutive wins and with the aim of returning to the second flight for the first time since 1978. Manager Simon Grayson believes they will not be daunted by their glorious past:
“This club is steeped in history and tradition. You go back to the 1950s with Stanley Matthews and people like that and maybe we’ve lived in the past too long. Now we want to be part of a new era where the club goes forward, and hopefully by next weekend we’ll be back in the Championship where we belong.”
