The Lower League Thread

Don't really count as a Saddler but Hiwula is a good player though. Not sure whether he is Championship material yet but looked very lively from what I've seen and heard of him. Played as a striker first I think, started off well but his form dipped and lost his place but was put on the wing then and showed some really good performances iirc.

You can listen to how he is pronounced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htgTU5Amue8

We're spending money this year its very weird, also our ticket prices have been released and there ridiculous

Think we know who's paying for the signings now.

Haha, I think with them prices we're paying for the new pitch and the new scoreboard!

At least your getting signing..

Signed England Under-20 goalkeeper Christian Walton on loan till the end of the season. Not the ideal solution imo. Walton may be talented and all that but I don't really think a short term fix for long term problem will do us much good. But of course, Flickers got promotion last season so I trust him to do the right things and i'm sure he has plan for our GK situation

At least you have a squad ...

How many players are Blackpool currently on?

Fulltime - Mariners 3-1 Huddersfield

Great performance, continues our 100% pre season record so far (includes beating a full strength Derby). Really optimistic for this season!

And wouldn't you know it, the Oyscum didn't even dignify our Supporter's Trust's bid for the club with a response.

Now that is pathetic.

All credit. I actually thought last night would be our toughest game pre-season because your lads will have got about us and it won't just have been a warm-up. And it's no mean feat for a Conference side to beat a Championship side, even in a friendly. Hope you get up this time

Have you not got Kirkland on trial, or was that just a load of nonsense?

We actually had. Was at our training camp in Tenerife, so very surprised we didn't go for him. Guess wages played a role in that becuase he's more than capable at L1 level

However, the Seasiders will not have to compensate Huddersfield supporters.
The Football League wanted Blackpool to compensate Terriers fans the equivalent value to the club's gate receipts from away ticket sales but that was rejected by the three-man commission.
The FDC ruled that the game's abandonment affected supporters of both clubs equally and it would therefore be unfair to favour the interests of one group of supporters over the other.
