Pete_foxes Posted 26 July 2007 Share Posted 26 July 2007 http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk...1079615,00.htmlIt should be some day! Yeah, will be a great game I think. Both teams will come out all guns blazing. Shame my Grandad had to book his birthday meal for the 11th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted 26 July 2007 Share Posted 26 July 2007 Blackpool manager Simon Grayson is looking ahead to a dream start to the new season - on the opening day of the campaign he takes his newly promoted Championship team to Leicester City, the club where he enjoyed the best days of his playing career."It's surreal," says the former defender who also turned out for Aston Villa and Blackburn. "It's just like the situation I had when I left Leicester to join Villa - my fist game at the start of the following season was back at Leicester. "To have it happen again like this again is unbelievable, but it's absolutely tremendous as far as I'm concerned. I spent almost six years at Leicester and I'd say they were the happiest days of my playing career. "I've still got lots of friends at the club and in the town so it's going to be a very special day for me personally, but more important is the fact that I'll be going there in charge of a Blackpool team having their first game at this level for 29 years."

Pete_foxes Posted 26 July 2007 Share Posted 26 July 2007 Good luck to the guy to be fair. I hope Blackpool can do ok this season. Just not for the first game & not for when we play them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted 26 July 2007 Share Posted 26 July 2007 He's gonna lose 2 - 0. I'm going for 3-1 to us, we score first, they level give us a scare, we respond and then finish with a flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't really strenghtened their squad and we've seen loads of teams looks great in League 2 only to come and up and get a shoe-in, albeit one or two that become the surprise package. I think our quality should see us through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 27 July 2007 Share Posted 27 July 2007 Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Keigan Parker, Wes Hoolahan and Keith Southern have the ability to be more than good enough at this level. Especially Hoolahan who's potentially a top quality star in the making. I think it will be a tough first game, one Allen won't allow our players to think it's an easy opener. Bring it on.

Geo V Posted 27 July 2007 Share Posted 27 July 2007 I think they`ll be a handful. They`ll be organized and I don't think they have made that many changes from last season. Colchester did something similar the season before and relied on a settled but organized side and competed well in this division. I'm hoping we get the luck and can settle quickly to win the game because a good start will keep the buzz going and a few defeats early doors would deflate most. I'm on the optimistic bus though so I reckon we`ll take the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoolahan may miss our game... Blackpool agreed terms with him and his club about him joining them after a season loan, if promoted/goals/assists etc etc (i think!) But hoolahan's club want more than they originaly agreed... "They're claming Blackpool made late payments whilst on loan so the contract fee is not valid" The matter has gone to Fifa. Hope it takes a minumum of 3 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 27 July 2007 Share Posted 27 July 2007 Any one who thinks this will be easy might have to think again. They were the form side in their league at the end of the season and will not only be up for it but also full of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon_dog Posted 27 July 2007 Share Posted 27 July 2007 The former Cov striker Andy Morrell plays for them, local lad ( Mkt Bosworth ), nice guy. He's a lifelong city fan, sure that if he plays he'll be keen to score against us. Hope we win, but would be nice to see him do well for the rest of the season.
