FA Cup Third Round Preview: Fleetwood Town v Blackpool

Now forget about the Manchester derby in the FA Cup Third Round as another ferocious North West match takes place this weekend. It's between Blue Square Bet Premier side Fleetwood Town who play close near neighbours Blackpool for the first time in 31 years.

Fleetwood are 66 places and three leagues below Championship side Blackpool, but can they pull off a traditional FA Cup upset?

I visited the Fylde Coast to experience the magic of this unique cup derby:
