Season synopsis
Other than two victories in their opening four league games, Blackpool's nine wins were spaced out over the course of the season. By the league season's halfway point, a 4–0 Christmas Day defeat at Lancashire rivals Burnley, they had won only two further games. Of the remaining nineteen matches, Blackpool lost ten, a sequence that contributed to their finishing at the foot of the table.
In the FA Cup, Blackpool took Tottenham to a first-round replay after a 1–1 draw at White Hart Lane on 11 January. Three days later, the replay was played at the same venue after Blackpool sold Spurs the ground rights. The Londoners were victorious 6–1.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
