Just seen that our 1st two opponents play each other this Saturday at Cambridge. Who do you reckon will win? I think Blackpool will win 2-0 Lot of talk of Critchley out on their board. 80% in a vote. Feels like a must win game for both after losing to both of us "newly promoted teams". (Cambridge lost at home to Crawley Saturday). If you brought our game with Crawley forward a few weekends we'd have our own mini 3 game league.

0-0, a lot of ruskball and not wanting to lose. Both sets of supporters asleep by half time.

Are we really shocked at this? Every team has to play each other. Your right stranded it was spoken about the other day
Barnsley, Mansfield, burton and Lincoln All play(ed) each other
Theres also another 4 teams that all play(ed) each other. I think its stevenage, Shrewsbury, Huddersfield and i think the last team in Peterborough

It does strike me as unusual and even more so if it’s been the case for a number of clubs.

Interesting Challinor doesn't appear to even mentioned by Blackpool fans.

That's never stopped fans and I'm sure plenty would say they are the bigger club and it's a similar situation to DC at Hartlepool - playing devil's advocate. It's very much fine by me!

(Not for the first time…) I mean I don’t even know the details of that. I was more thinking why would he leave us for a similar sized club in the same division where he hasn’t got any credit in the back or rapport with supporters.

Maybe historically if we’re going way back. Very similar home gates for the first matches of the season and I doubt they have any more ambition.

Maybe historically if we’re going way back. Very similar home gates for the first matches of the season and I doubt they have any more ambition. Bigger stadium, bigger fanbase (considering we're on the up, they are on the down). Much higher than us in the leagues in recent memory and have been to the EPL. More history - they've won the FA Cup for example and been higher in the leagues than we ever have. I think we've got more ambition and a great thing going on but, as it stands, Blackpool is a bigger club. (For the record, DC would be silly to move to them with our current squad and plans and how he's settled.)
