The 1908-09 season was Blackpool F.C.'s twelfth season (ninth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the twenty-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing bottom. The club's application for re-election was successful. Bob Whittingham top-scored for the second consecutive season. He achieved the feat despite his leaving the club for Bradford City in January. ==Season synopsis== Blackpool were undefeated in their first five league games, a sequence that included two victories. Their first turnover, a 0–4 scoreline, occurred at Barnsley on 3 October.〔Calley, Roy (1992). ''Blackpool: A Complete Record 1887-1992'', p. 192, Breedon Books Sport〕 They failed to win away from Bloomfield Road in the League; a record that would not be equalled for 106 years.〔("Clark’s questions after matching 106 year record" ) - ''Blackpool Gazette'', 27 April 2015〕 Only seven more victories ensued in their 31 remaining league games,〔 which largely accounted for their lowly finishing position. Of the eleven league games in which Bob Whittingham scored, Blackpool won four, drew five and lost two. After his departure, they only won three of their remaining sixteen games.〔 The club's FA Cup run ended at the second-round stage, with a 2–1 defeat at Newcastle United on 6 February. They defeated Hastings & St Leonards 2–0 in the first round. 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「1908–09 Blackpool F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
