1995–96 Blackpool F.C. season

The 1995–96 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 88th season (85th consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 24-team Division Two, then the third tier of English league football, finishing third, their highest league finish since the 1976–77 season. They made the end-of-season play-offs, but lost to Bradford City at the semi-finals stage. They won the first leg 2-0, but lost 3-0 in the return leg at Bloomfield Road, a result that cost Sam Allardyce his job, in his second season.

gollark: PotatOS actually just does `os.queueEvent "terminate"` and kills shell, though.
gollark: You queue some wrong event.
gollark: You can just crash the rednet coroutine and hook `printError`.
gollark: Now *none*, actually, since that's done in native code and CC:T has `debug`.
gollark: The coroutine manager thing is totally orthogonal to any sandboxing bios.lua does.
