Chesterfield 0 Blackpool 0.
Middlesborough's number two Viv Anderson watched FA Cup semi-final opponents Chesterfield for 73 minutes - then walked out.If this clash against Blackpool had been in his garden he would have drawn the curtains.
But Chesterfield skipper Sean Dyche warned: "Anderson may not have seen anything threatening, but any side who hopes to beat us is going to have to work bloody hard.
"We are not going to Old Trafford to pass them off the park. We have to be realistic, but we'll make things difficult for them."
Boss John Duncan agreed: "We lacked firepower but it will come. Blackpool are a club with big names and are far from easy opponents."
Over 22,000 tickets for the semi-final went in under three hours, landing the club a pounds 500,000 boost.
