Blackpool F.C. season 1907–08


The 1907-08 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 11th season (eighth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the twenty-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing fifteenth.

Bob Whittingham, signed from amateur side Goldenhill Wanderers, was the club's top scorer, with fifteen goals in his 31 league games.

A strong start to the season, with only one point dropped from their opening two fixtures, was tempered with a run of four consecutive defeats.

It took until the fifteenth League match — against Lincoln City at Bloomfield Road — to gain their second victory. The 4–3 scoreline included a hat-trick from William Grundy.

Nine victories in the second half of the campaign left them ten points clear of bottom club Lincoln at the season's end.

The club's FA Cup trip ended at the First Round stage, this time at Manchester United.
