Kodjias Wrist Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I read a thread on their called 'Little Blackpool' or something like that.

It wasn’t that long ago they were averaging 4k at home in league 2 ffs. I have always seen Blackpool as a league 1 club at best. Yes they have a decent history if you want to go back 60/70 years but we are living in 2023 now and not the 1950s. The last time they averaged anything close to what we get at home was in the 1970s..

For most of the last 30 years Blackpool have been a League 1 side. It's like Rovers claiming to be a bigger club than we are because they were once better than us in the 1950s. Blackpool are League 1. So are Bournemouth and Brentford who are currently in the Prem imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do, and I agree, but I think they will have an eye on Wells’ age and not becoming too dependent on Conway & Bell at their age and stage of development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
