Alan Pardew has pleaded with Charlton fans to flock to the seaside this weekend to see the Addicks take on Blackpool.Pardew's side are delicately placed in the play-off positions and will need all the backing they can get if they are to end the Tangerines' five-match unbeaten run at Bloomfield Road.

Pardew told the club's official website: "Entering this run-in, we are going to need more fans on the road.

"May I therefore politely request that a few people pencil in a weekend in Blackpool.

"I find it's always nice on the brink of spring, with a pleasant coastal breeze and plenty of entertainment on offer."
