West Ham Utd. travel to take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hammers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 5 of the 24 games.
The last time the two teams met at Blackpool was way back in the black-and-white days of February 1971, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a First Division match.
