I would be very much surprised if Ryanair's wish to connect Blackpool with an eastern European city resulted in a Prague service...
Ryanair have no plans to base an aircraft at Blackpool. They are however very close to launching their first Polish base.
Any new Ryanair eastern European route to Blackpool will more than likely be operated using an aircraft based in their new (as of yet unknown) eastern European base.
This other article also about the (eastern European) expansion of Ryanair at Blackpool mentions Poland around 10 times. Not a word about Prague.

"
Ryanair ... is in negotiations to expand its franchise to Poland within the next year."
Ryanair do not currently even fly to Prague, so it's very unlikely we'll see a Ryanair base there in the next few years...
However, stranger things have happened, Ryanair fell in love with Marseille overnight it would seem, and rumors are flying that Ryanair will launch a base in Madrid, an airport with which they have had no previous relationship at all.
Anyway, Jet2 already do Blackpool to Prague so it would be quite a pity if a new Ryanair route from Blackpool was just going to compete with an existing route.
