We've uncovered some hidden gems within our picture archive of Blackpool fans demonstrating their loyalty down through the years

Blackpool fans are a loyal bunch.

Nearly 3,000 Seasiders supporters made the short trip to Wigan on Saturday in the hope of cheering Neil Critchley's side to victory as the race for a play-off place intensifies. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, as the Bloomfield Road faithful returned home with a 1-0 defeat to digest.

It was another impressive demonstration of loyalty from the fans, who have stuck by their side all season - despite some difficult moments this term. Yet, that can be expected from a fan base that has a long history of being deeply devoted to their beloved club and getting behind their team.

As a result, we've been searching through our picture archives to see what images we could find of Blackpool fans showcasing their support for the Seasiders. There's loads to pick from, but here's 31 which we thought we could start off with.
