Pat from Poole

I think that most of us knew that when Poortvliet and Wotte were appointed that we would need three other CCC clubs to go into administration to save us from relegation this season. I admire and sympathise with those who will be following the team regularly this season. I haven't been this season, but based on the defending I've seen in the two SKY games, we will be on the end of quite a few heavy defeats. Shame, as there are signs of real promise, and Lallana is clearly a class act. However I share Dion Dublin's fears for us. He has played in the CCC for the last few years and clearly knows what he's talking about. You have to have a blend, to have 9 youngsters in the starting line-up is crazy beyond belief. Please prove me wrong, Saints.

I went to the BIC last time round, and it was great, apart from top man Mardle getting caned 8-0 by Taylor. To be fair, I think it's been at the BIC for three years on the trot now, and it's probably fair to move it about. They also seem to be spreading their net to bigger venues; the BIC is big but is probably one of the smaller venues they host League matches at.

Thanks, have just done this.

I reckon an official attendance of about 13,000 for Blackpool, which includes all season ticket-holders, some of whom may well stay away. Shame, as it is a crucial six-pointer against one of the 3 or 4 teams we could possibly finish above this season.

I would like to know when my details are going to be updated to show that I have paid the £5. I sent a cheque off a couple of weeks ago, but I still can't start up a thread.
