Just a quick question prompted by this tweet. Have never experienced it either and have been following Blackpool for over 30 years.

Pedant.Technically we didn't see the team promoted in 1985 as it mathematically happened on the Friday night after Darlo away when Hereford failed to win and before we then drew 3-3 with Torquay at home on the Saturday

To remember that you's have to be at least 95 if not older13 in 1970 was there that night at Deepdale.
Never seen us promoted as champions,
I suspect there aren’t many that have.
Recall we were 3-2 with minutes remaining Fans were lining the cinder track ready for the pitch invasion ( wasn't there a couple of false starts ? ) Anyway most didn't know ( or care ) that Torquay equalised with what must have been just about the last kick of the gameSadly missed the 1970 promotion (was only 8 and hadn't started watching the Pool).
I was at the home game against Torquay; it was a relaxed atmosphere because our promotion had already been confirmed as TAM says.
We scored after a few seconds - direct from their kick off as I recall. Think it was Eamon O'Keefe who intercepted a pass back to their keeper?
Then the wheels fell off a bit before we levelled. Surprised the gate was less than 8k though.
Sorry for blocking your viewWas on the west paddock for the Torquay game. Missed Eamonn’s goal due to the queues outside and missed their late equaliser due to fans on the side of the pitch.
Always generousThey are few and far between, Preston, the hat trick, the crowd and the journey there and back will always remain in my memory, the only other time \i have felt as elated was in 2010 at Wembley. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage the 85 game at Darlington due to running a pub, and Saturday being my busiest day. I did, however, buy a round of drinks for all in the pub. At the time there were four in.
Wasn't there equaliser a Neil Price og?Was on the west paddock for the Torquay game. Missed Eamonn’s goal due to the queues outside and missed their late equaliser due to fans on the side of the pitch.
Nice one TAM...to be honest I forgot about that promotion but I was definitely there that wonderful evening at Deepdale...though to me the draw at Swindon was the one that set everything up..and yes I was there tooTechnically we didn't see the team promoted in 1985 as it mathematically happened on the Friday night after Darlo away when Hereford failed to win and before we then drew 3-3 with Torquay at home on the Saturday
Of Course I am. That was the last round I can remember buying (before someone from London interjects).Always generous
