Blackpool are set to hand a starting role in tonights friendly to Newport County's Paul Bignot, a 21 year old right back who started his career with Crewe before being released and joining Kidderminster Harriers before joining Newport. Has Dario tipped Ian of to another potential youngster who with some work could become a very good player? or is Dario Blackpools new secret scout? Expect to see a few more trialists tonight in pools team sheet, anyone hoping to pools new first team is going to be disappointed tonight i am afraid. But on the plus side Football is back at Bloomers

Talking about Dario, I was clearing out some books yesterday and found an old match program from 1992 season, tranmere away in the Billy Ayre era. I remember it as us flying high in the league, only second to the dingles because Aldershot had been booted out of the league. we ended up in the home end as there were more Pool supporters than Crewe, and watched a dire match refed by a completely incompetent ref called Graham Poll (bet he never did anything again after that shocker) They beat us 1-0 (we didn't have a good away record that season) but we went on to the play-offs after the previous seasons defeat to Torquey,and the rest is history!! edited to add, they had some unknown called phil clarkson in their squad, along with a certain craig hignett. Team included Dave bamber, Trevor sinclair, paul groves,Andy Gouk,Tony Rodwell,Andy Garner,David Eyres,phil horner. thinking about it, if we hadn't had the Hendry era, we may have reached the premier league several seasons earlier........ ;D

Tony Rodwell. I am sure that was the same season he scored a hat-trick against Aldershot away and it got wiped from the record books and also the same night Robert Maxwell went Plunk Plop Fizz
