My thoughts are total agreement AndyD.

I see Morecambe's friendly with Blackpool has been cancelled due to "safety concerns" i.e knobheads.

Wonder if club will follow suit.

Always been my preferred shape,saying that I also believe in playing a system that suits your personnel.
Against Blackburn we played with crooks in front of the back four and he got a little isolated.
We have some great attacking choices,but not many ball winning midfielders,that's why I'd definitely have a look at the system that got us to the play offs ie, six defenders and four offensive players.
Really looking forward to seeing this young team progress,got a good feeling

Well if common sense prevails, I hope we do follow suit and cancel this "friendly". Apparently Morecambe cancelled due to the prospect of facing a higher policing bill.

With that in mind it's a no brainer for me.....whilst I've got sympathy for the plight of the Blackpool fans in respect of all the turmoil at their club, I don't think we should be giving them another stage upon which to protest and paying through the nose (i.e. the inevitable ramped up policing bill ) for the privelage!!

Just ban Blackpool fans from the game

We would still need the police or stewards to enforce the ban.

How would you identify the ones with no colours on? Just ask them "are you a Blackpool fan"?

Best cut our losses and call it off under the circumstances

st06nc2 · 17-07-2015, 21:02

If they go to the away end they're obviously away fans, or even just play the game behind closed doors

Or re-arrange it as a home game for Blackpool so they have to make a hefty contribution to the Lancashire Constabulary Overtime Bonus Pool. Plus Cashy gets a day out on the Prom!

But if away fans are banned they would have to be very stupid to go to the away end.

I have a fair bit of experience going to the home end as an away fan both in this country and abroad and you don't wear colours and you don't go to the away end if away fans are banned :-D.

Superb from Stanley today. Crooks is in danger of becoming a cult hero at the Crown if he carries on like that. MOM by a country mile. Things are looking very bright for the new season with options for Coley in every position. Morgan and Kee will make it difficult for Terry Gornell to be first choice up front. Similarly, Adam Buxton is nailed on our best right full back instead of being played out of position on the left.

Outback Ozzy · 18-07-2015, 16:29

Got to agree Redraine. Couldn't buy a goal last season yet 3 in pre-season for Crooks. i also agree on MOM. McConville looked dangerous on the wing as did Justin St Juste in the 2nd half. A must sign for me. The small number 20 (Clarke) is not a defender for me, he is too small and would get beaten in the air every time. Both Goalies had decent games and overall it was entertaining to watch. Crowd decent at 2,100 but outnumbered is an understatement. Especially as it was the testimonial for John and Jimmy. Would have been nice to be nearer 3,000. If we play League 2 teams like we played Burnley in the first 10 minutes, we will demoralize them no end. However, I will not be over complacent. It will be a long season, but I do hope one which we may be successful.
