article: With the game's first attack, Potts found the the bottom corner after Cullen's classy touch and flick. Ollie Watkins was denied by Sam Slocombe before David Wheeler lobbed the keeper to deservedly put Exeter level. Blackpool had numerous chances before Cullen's prodded in Potts' low cross. Paul Tisdale's Exeter side dominated possession throughout and almost forced extra time when Watkins headed over in stoppage time. The Tangerines, who only had around 6,000 supporters at Wembley because of an ongoing boycott by fans in protest against the club's owners, lost skipper Tom Aldred to injury before the break but were not deterred. The margin of victory could have been bigger for Gary Bowyer's men, with substitute Bright Osayi-Samuel shooting wide and Kyle Vassell seeing an effort saved as Exeter left themselves vulnerable to counter-attacks late on. As recently as 2011 Blackpool were in the Premier League, but their drop to the second tier after just one season in the top flight was compounded by successive relegations in the past two seasons. There have been well documented off-field problems too, with the Blackpool Supporters' Trust repeatedly calling for much-maligned owners Owen and Karl Oyston to step aside. One thing the Lancashire club have not lost is their knack of successful play-off campaigns, with this their fifth final victory - more than any other club. It also adds to the trend of teams finishing seventh, the final play-off spot in League Two, going up - as it has now happened in five of the past eight fourth-tier campaigns. More to follow.
