The 2007-08 campaign was a landmark year for Blackpool as The Seasiders returned to the second tier of English football for the first time in 29 years. Under manager Simon Grayson, they battled to a respectable 19th-place finish, the club's highest in 30 years, firmly establishing their new status. Leading the line was veteran striker Ben Burgess, whose 10 goals overall provided crucial firepower and proved decisive in a season that saw the team set a club record of twelve consecutive victories. It was a gritty, triumphant return that remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
