The game promises to have fireworks...(sorry!). The last time the two sides met ended in a 1-1 draw at Bloomfield Road with Brian Howard cancelling out Keigan Parker's strike in the Reds 2005/2006 promotion season.
The last time the Reds turned out on Sky was a 7-0 drubbing at the Hawthorns last season, but the game in October with near rivals Hull City will be shown live on Sky at the KC Stadium as well as the game with Blackpool.
