Chris McPhee was the Albion hero last time they won at home to Blackpool.
The young striker scored twice as the Seagulls won 3-0 at Withdean on their way to promotion via the play-offs.
McPhee netted in each half – with Leon Knight playing provider on each occasion - after Danny Coid had scored an own goal in the 2003-04 season.
The win took Albion top of the third-tier table but was played out amid increasing concern that boss Steve Coppell was about to move to Reading.
Scott Vernon scored twice when Blackpool won a Sunday afternoon televised clash 3-0 at Withdean three years later.
The sides drew 2-2 at The Amex last season as a Kevin Phillips double cancelled out strikes from Craig Mackail-Smith and Ashley Barnes.
