I guess this article could have started the 2010/2011 BPL Thread as the twenty clubs for next season are set. Although it is nice to see a small club like Blackpool live the dream and make it to the top flight, they only managed an average crowd of 8,611 this season. It's one of the reasons why I love football as anybody who can do the job can make it, but it does look a little jokey.
