Blackpool mascot takes the piss out of Fleetwood’s relegation from League One

Blackpool mascot Bloomfield Bear takes the piss out of Fleetwood’s relegation from League One, posting a video on social media.

The Cod Army will be back in the fourth tier for the firs time since the 2023/24 season, despite beating Leyton Orient, after fellow strugglers Burton Albion beat Reading to send Fleetwood down.

Xavier Simons scored the only goal of the game three minutes into added time to secure victory for the visitors.

Then after the final whistle, a clip of the Blackpool bear was uploaded onto Twitter and has since gone on to get over 1,100 likes, leaving many Blackpool fans amused.

This came after Fleetwood’s mascot did the same type of dance when Blackpool were relegated from the Championship in late April 2023.

In March 2023, Blackpool included Fleetwood’s game against Lincoln as part of one of the games fans could watch on Non League Day.

Fleetwood responded: “No worries lads, see you in League One next season.”

“It’s been a tough day for everybody involved at this football club, the directors, the management the players and the supporters,” Adam said.

“That group of players have given us everything since we came in on December 31 and it’s unfortunate that we’ve just come up short. It really is bitterly disappointing for Fleetwood as a club and for the town.

“I thought we were in full control of the game, we were never really under pressure and that’s what you will see from this side next season. They are going to run and fight all the way.

“That performance away from home was very good.

“I can’t thank the supporters enough for coming to support us. They have been with us all season since we came into the building and I’m really gutted for them.

“There is a lot of frustration of why and what but we’ll sit down and address things and we are going to do everything we can to come straight back up. We have the nucleus of a very good squad in League Two because they’ve shown they are good League One players.

“I’m already thinking about next season, what we want, what we need, how we are going to play and what we are going to do.”

Orient boss Richie Wellens said: “I’m very disappointed at the way the season has ended for us. I’m very professional and I want to keep my standards at the same level all the time.

“Twelve months ago, we were playing Crewe Alexandra in League Two to try and win the league and promotion and my mindset is exactly the same today as it was then.

“Today, I thought that in the first half we were good but in the second half we were poor.

“We were too slow at the back, kept passing back to our keeper, didn’t play through lines or play forward and we didn’t counter well and it was all a bit messy. We got what we deserved, so yes I’m very disappointed.

“We need four or five players to come in and make an impact. There are certain players I keep asking them to do the same thing week in and week out but my patience is wearing thin.”

Blackpool meanwhile boosted their play-off hopes with a 3-2 victory over fellow promotion chasers Barnsley.

Sonny Carey put Blackpool ahead on 12 minutes with a curling shot from 25 yards before a James Husband header from Karamoko Dembele’s free-kick doubled Blackpool’s lead on the verge of half time.

Hayden Coulson sent one into the roof of the net just after the restart to make it three, then John McAtee got one back for Barnsley to give them some hope.

Adam Phillips also netted to make it 3-2, but Blackpool held on for all three points.

Neil Critchley’s side now need to win their final game of the season away to Reading, and hope that both Lincoln and Oxford drop points in order to secure a place in the top six, while 5th place Barnsley know a win will be enough.

This is how Twitter users reacted as the Blackpool mascot takes the piss out of Fleetwood’s relegation from League One…

@shand_morgan: Bloomfield bear is the king of shithousery

@jjgrundy_: honestly so obsessive but claim it’s not a derby 🤣

@anthonybark_: blackpool fans said we were obsessed when we did this last season. Now it’s the funniest thing in the world…

@VaniaMorozov15: Goated mascot

@monkeynuts_21: Class feeling when a small local rival gets relegated to where they belong isn’t it 🥰

@cruane1911: Unbelievable this

@BACMatthew: Not holding back 🤣 respect 🤝🐻

@tonymartin1999: Not rivals 🙏

@PNEHOMEANDAWAY1: Rate this 😂

@ellis_platten: UK Football culture is unmatched.

@AntStephen: If you’re thinking Fleetwood Town are back where they belong after relegation, let me assure you that they’re really not. They’ll need another 6 relegations before they’re back in the North West Counties Football League First Division.

@tangerine_jord: My mascot 🧡
