Blackpool produced a clinical display to secure their place in the npower Championship play-offs with a sparkling 4-0 derby victory over Burnley.
Ian Holloway's side made it six games without defeat and they will now dream of a second Wembley triumph in three seasons and an instant return to the Barclays Premier League.
Stephen Dobbie scored his fifth goal in as many starts since rejoining the Seasiders on loan from Swansea, clattering home from distance to make it 1-0 at the break.
Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Stephen Crainey and substitute Nouha Dicko all got in on the act after the interval to avenge a 3-1 loss to their Lancashire rivals earlier in the season.
Burnley, unbeaten in their previous four games, played a full part in an absorbing contest as home goalkeeper Matt Gilks was forced into impressive saves from Chris McCann, Charlie Austin, Junior Stanislas and Ross Wallace.
