History of the Hull City v Blackpool fixture

Hull City are ready to welcome Blackpool to The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Tigers are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 12 of the 49 games.

The previous match played between the two at The KC Stadium was more than three years back, in September 2004, the The Tigers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
