MORE than 30 Seasiders fans were forced to miss the FA Cup clash when their charter flight to Norwich failed to take off.
The flight, organised by Vacation Travel, was meant to ferry around 100 fans to Carrow Road for tonight's FA Cup Fourth Round replay. But the plane broke down in Birmingham, which left the Pool fans stranded at Blackpool Airport.
Seasiders fan Bill Markham said: "It's a real disappointment but there is nothing anyone could do. Vacation Travel did their best to find alternative planes. We have to be philosophical about what has happened and just hope the fans have a chance to watch them at Chelsea in the next round."
Boss of Vacation Travel Stuart Arnott managed to hire a 70-seater craft, which took off at around 6pm. A second plane could not be found, leaving around 30 fans to miss the game.
