On this day in
BLACKPOOL LOSE POINT AFTER GETTING LEAD A Blackpool defence which withstood the tornado of a forward line, and a Blackpool front line which took its few chances in the first half - and missed one or two in the second - won a point out of this match.
WHEN I left Blackpool shortly after noon today people were hunting all over the town for motorcoaches to Burnden Park. For nearly all them it was a vain quest. Scarcely a coach was left down the length of the coast from Lytham to Fleetwood.
All the way to Bolton there were dozens on the road. The general estimate was that between 5,000 and 6,000 people had come from the Fylde towns.
