A superb second half performance from Blackpool was enough to end their season in style, having initially gone a goal down.
It has been a torrid season for The Gas. Relegation was far from expected at the start of the season, and after beating Bolton Wanderers in March and going nine points clear of the drop, Rovers seemed comfortable.
However, the nine match winless run that followed has inevitably dragged The Pirates into the bottom four, as Bristol Rovers end their campaign in 22nd.
As for Blackpool, it has been an up and down season for the seaside club. Never in any danger of going down, but ultimately haven't been good enough to mount a serious playoff hunt. They finish the season in ninth place, 11 points off the playoff spots.
Story of the Match
It was the visitors who took the lead as the Blackpool goalkeeper Harry Tyrer took far too long to clear the ball after an overhit pass. Rovers striker Gatlin O'Donkor capitalised on the error and slotted the ball into the empty net.
The Tangerines responded well and equalised just before the break. A shot from Niall Ennis which was parried by Jed Ward in the Rovers net handed Tom Bloxham with one of the easiest goals he'll score in his career.
Blackpool turned the game around on the 55th minute after good play down the left hand side, the ball bobbled inside the Rovers box and Albie Morgan was there to give The Seasiders the lead.
Rovers made attacking changes and started to put pressure on Blackpool, but as more bodies flooded forward, the home side hit them on the counter attack and Niall Ennis had all the time in the world the strike the ball into the bottom left corner to give Blackpool a comfortable lead.
It then got even better for The Seasiders as poor defending and mess in the box again gave Ryan Finnigan his first goal of the season, and the Blackpool fans something to cheer about as the season ended.
It could have got even worse for Rovers, with Ward making a couple of impressive snap shot saves.
The full time whistle would have come as a relief for The Gas, as League Two awaits them.
Player of the Match: Albie Morgan
Undoubtedly the standout player, Albie Morgan controlled the tempo of the game and was instrumental in Blackpool's comeback.
He also found the net for the second goal, with a composed finish.
An honourable mention goes to Niall Ennis who enjoyed an afternoon in the seaside sun with a goal to take his tally up to seven for the season.
