Port Vale face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Valiants will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2002, as the Seasiders edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a League Division Two match.
