History of the Brentford v Blackpool fixture

Brentford prepare to entertain Blackpool at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 15 of the 22 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in September 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
