Although Birmingham-based Linden had lost six of their first eight matches, they had suffered some unfortunate defeats and were certainly not a team to be underestimated.

Blackpool got off to a slow start, allowing Linden a run of five uninterrupted goals before managing to claw their way back into the game.
