History
The first professional rugby league side in Blackpool were known as Blackpool Borough, who entered the league in 1954. A complex series of events in the late eighties saw the club move several times before settling in the nearby town of Chorley, eventually becoming known as Chorley Lynx. Chorleys Coat of Arms Chorley is a market town in Lancashire, Great Britain, south of Preston and at the foot of the West Pennine Moors. ...
In 2004 Chorley Lynx folded due to poor attendances. Blackpool West Coast Panthers were created in 2005 as a separate team, not a continuation of the old Chorley team. Despite this most of the players were former Chorley players and most of the supporters were those who had previously followed Chorley.
The original Chairman quit before the season started leaving Dave Rowland to shoulder the financial burden. Coach Mark Lee was sacked before the start of the season and Blackpool struggled on the field finishing second bottom of National League two and failed to make an impact on the Blackpool public. Due to the high cost of renting Bloomfield Road and disappointing attendances Blackpool were due to ground share with Preston Grasshoppers rugby union. However a change of ownership and a last minute deal saw them secure the use of Bloomfield Road at a reduced cost. Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from Preston, Lancashire. ...
