Pool are going to Wembley

THE Seasiders are on the way to Wembley after a sensational win against Nottingham Forest. Ian Holloway's men are now 90 minutes away from the Premier League as a DJ Campbell hat-trick inspired Blackpool to a 4-3 win at the City Ground. Pool now stand on the brink of a return to the top flight for the first time since 1971. Leading 2-1 from the first leg on Saturday, Blackpool fell behind on the night to Rob Earnshaw's early goal. Campbell equalised at the start of the second half before Earnshaw scored his second goal of the game to level up the tie on aggregate at 3-3. Substitute Stephen Dobbie then made an immediate impact with his deflected shot wrong-footing Lee Camp and trickling into the net before two quickfire goals from Campbell sent Blackpool to the Wembley showpiece on May 22.
