The 1904-05 season was Blackpool F.C.'s eighth season (fifth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the eighteen-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing fifteenth. New signings included Edgar Chadwick, from Liverpool, Bob Crewdson, who would go on to make over 200 league appearances for the club, and Hugh Morgan, from Accrington Stanley. Teddy Duckworth, after a season with West Ham United and Blackburn Rovers, returned to the club. Out went Geordie Anderson, who retired, John Rooke and Fred Pentland. Chadwick was the club's top goalscorer, with eight goals.〔Calley, Roy (1992).

It wasn't until their fifth game that Blackpool recorded their first victory. It came at Lancashire neighbours Burnley — Alfie Kearns scoring the only goal of the game. Their next victory did not come until 3 December, just over two months later, 4–1 at home to Glossop. They won their next fixture, at home to Bradford City, before managing only one point from their three festive games. A New Year's Eve defeat left them with only thirteen points from a possible 34. After an FA Cup First Round exit to Bristol City, 1905 started with a bang: 6–0 and 2–0 home wins over Barnsley and Burnley. Three victories in five games lifted them briefly, but then six defeats in their final nine games saw them finish fourth-bottom, albeit twenty points clear of bottom club Doncaster Rovers, who failed in their attempt to be reelected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1904–05 Blackpool F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
