I thought they had to be all-seater for the Prem?

Fulham managed to get away with it for one season when they first came up!

Just tried to find some info, apparently your right they do have to be all seater (which Blackpools is) and have to comply with the 'safety of sports grounds act' 1975, but dont think there is a min requirement

I think you have to become all-seater within 2 seasons of being promoted to the Championship. Fulham got back-to-back promotions, I think, so they still had a season left. Blackpool have been in the Championship for successive seasons since the mid-'90s, so they'll have already got it sorted.

But they didn't though.. I remember it clearly because they were promoted as Champs of D2 with us winning the play-offs but they finished about 8th the following season when we were promoted finishing as runners-up that year. It was only the next season when they steam-rollered to the title and they've been up ever since. I remember them having at least one season playing at the old style Craven Cottage with terracing before they moved to Loftus Road for a while.
