TLFS - Morecambe and Blackpool are both promoted! Play-off special mini series part 4. Episode #17
Description
Hello and welcome to the Lancashire football show, this is the final part of a mini special play-off series. Host, Ash is joined this week by Matt and the Ben.
Both Morecambe and Blackpool have been promoted!
Over the bank holiday weekend, Blackpool beat Lincoln City 2-1 in the League One play-off final. The Seasiders couldn't have gotten off to a worse start though. An Ollie Turton own goal put Blackpool 1-0 down within the first minute of the game. However, Kenny Dougall was Turton and Blackpool's hero. His double was enough to send Blackpool up and into the Championship.
Morecambe played a day after Blackpool in the League Two play-off final. Their opponents were Newport County. There was a lot of talk before hand from fans about it being former Morecambe player Kevin Ellison vs The Shrimps manager Derek Adams after the two shared history. Ellison seemed to have been frozen out by Adams which led to Ellison moving on from the club that he has so much history with. And obviously, no one can forget Ellison's celebration back in March where he came over to Adams straight after scoring Newport's third in his sides 3-1 win over the Shrimps. However, as we now know it was Adams who will be the happier of the two right now after a penalty was given to Morecambe in extra-time. Star man, Carlos Mendes Gomes stepped up and scored from the spot. No reply from Newport meant that The Shrimps promoted into League One!
At the time of recording Derek Adams had been rumoured to be leaving Morecambe but nothing had been confirmed. We now know that the manager has left the club. This is something that the lads will be discussing in next weeks weekly episode.
