1905–06 Blackpool F.C. season

Season synopsis

After an opening-day victory at home to Burton Albion, Blackpool mustered only three more wins before the end of the year.

1906 proved slightly more fruitful, with full points achieved over Gainsborough, Glossop, Grimsby Town, Lincoln City, Burslem Port Vale and — to close the season out — at Clapton Orient, which ultimately lifted them five places to 14th.

In the FA Cup, it took three attempts to beat Crystal Palace in the First Round. After overcoming Sheffield United in the next round, they were knocked out with a 5–0 defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park.
