What did we get again?
We were TRULY abysmal between the end of Jan to a month before the end of the season. No complaints. | |

Yes, but our points total would have kept us up in most seasons. | |

West Ham went down with 42 one season. I've only just stopped laughing. | |

Just found this stat on wiki:
Most goals scored in a season by a relegated team: 55, Blackpool (2010—11)[52]
And I checked the stats and this is what they show:
On 39 points Blackpool have finished in 14th place in 09/10, 16th in 11/12, 17th in 12/13, 14th in 13/14, 13th in 14/15, relegated in 15/16 on goal diff, relegated in 18th in 16/17, 16th in 17/18 and 17th this season gone.
Not that it matters of course but interesting that in the last 10 seasons 39 points would have meant safety 7 out 10 times. There you go. Does it matter? No. | |

I'll give you two more then Hanners.
Under the old two point for a win system, Blackpool hold two records for a 42 game season :
Most points gained (58) NOT to go up (1967/68)
Most points gained (37) but still went down (1977/78)
That second one was especially galling ; seven teams finished on 38 points, and all bar one of them had a worse goal difference than us. | |

You just had to bloody well mention 77/78, still have nightmares about that. | |

I'm sorry BBTRR. It's like a bizarre form of Tourette's. I burst into cocktail parties, shout "Cartmell!" at the top of my voice and have to be ushered out..... | |

I can still recall sitting in the garden with a not very portable, portable radio trying to get updates on Radio Wales on the Cardiff - Orient match.
One win in the last 15 matches?, still can't understand how that happened with that team. | |

I remember us winning at Mansfield just before Christmas and we were third. I really thought it was going to be our year, we'd had a few near misses before. | |

It took us 29 years for us to recover from that blow.
Only to be taken down again.
All very hard to swallow. | |

Remember losing at home to them as well in the same season. I'm sure at one stage that season we were 3rd with a game in hand. 
Also remember reading The Gazette the day after we got relegated on the way back from school. They had a report of the Cardiff - Orient match, said about 60 or so Blackpool fans were there. | |
