History of the Blackpool v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 23 games played, The Hatters have recorded 5 wins, and Blackpool have come away with 11 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2003, with Luton Town inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Seasiders in a League Division Two match.
