Final match of three night ground hop and like the previous nights the underdog progressed into the next round of the League Cup.  We watched the match from the away section.  Blackburn fans travelled in good numbers and were a very decent bunch.  The match ended up being a fabulous rollercoaster cup tie with six goals, 30 minutes extra time, penalties, a red card.

PRESTON NORTH END   1    BLACKPOOL   0

1st visit to Deepdale and it was well worth it even although I watch fom the away section.  Although on a Monday night and on Sky TV their was a big crowd as tickets were priced at £10 and £5 and this ensured a terrific atmosphere.

We travelled down south on the day of the game.  All the way down the weather was awful but by the time we reached Blackpool the rain had cleared.
