Wigan Athletic Relegated from League One, Blackpool Secure Safety

Wigan Athletic's Relegation Confirmed

Wigan Athletic have been relegated from League One after a 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth on the final day of the season. The Latics needed a win to have any chance of survival but they were unable to find the net against a Portsmouth side who had already secured their safety.

Wigan's relegation is a major blow for the club, who have been in League One since 2015. They have now been relegated to League Two for the first time since 1997.

The Latics' relegation is a result of a poor season in which they have won just 11 of their 46 league games. They have also been hampered by off-field problems, including a points deduction for entering administration.

Blackpool Secure Safety

Blackpool secured their safety in League One with a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers on the final day of the season. The Seasiders needed a point to avoid relegation and they got the win they needed thanks to goals from Jerry Yates and Callum Connolly.

Blackpool's safety is a relief for the club, who have been in League One since 2019. They have now secured their place in the third tier for another season.

The Seasiders' safety is a result of a good season in which they have won 16 of their 46 league games. They have also been helped by the form of Jerry Yates, who has scored 23 goals in all competitions this season.
