The 1914–15 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 18th season (15th consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the twenty-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing tenth.
Joe Lane, ever-present throughout the season, was the club's top scorer for the second consecutive season, with 28 goals to his name. Harold Keenan, though still a member of the squad, didn't make any appearances for the club.
Season synopsis
The season started slowly for the Seasiders, with five defeats in their opening six league games — a 3–1 victory (thanks to a Joe Lane hat-trick) at Hull City on 5 September being the anomaly. The run did not get any better; indeed in ten league games, Blackpool lost eight times. Their form picked up from November onwards, however, but inconsistency was rife.
The players redeemed themselves somewhat with eight victories in their final ten games, which resulted in their top-ten finish.
For the third consecutive season, Blackpool's FA Cup campaign ended at the first-round stage.
