SEASON 2025/26
Venue: BLOOMFIELD ROAD
BLACKPOOL 3 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 2
Attendance: 10,922
10-man Blackpool shock early league leaders Huddersfield in a clinical first half. Coming from one goal down to lead 3-1 before ex-Sunderland man, Gooch reduced their lead. All five goals were scored in an eventful first 45 minutes which also included a red card for the scorer of two of Blackpool's goals, Niall Ennis.
This was a bit of a bonus game as we headed to Blackpool for a day out. Thankfully it was a clear journey down the M6, which is more than can be said of traffic heading north towards the Lake District.
Both clubs played in their traditional kits, Blackpool in tangerine shirts and Huddersfield in light blue & white stripes.
Managers: Blackpool - Steve Bruce; Huddersfield - Lee Grant
The match was played in a great atmosphere with the away support in fine voice early on due to the confidence from their good start to the season and the Seasiders got right behind their team when they went down to ten men. In the second half they cheered every clearance and gave the team tremendous backing to help the 10 men keep going until then 97th minute to claimed a deserved victory.
