Blackpool V Fulham

Posted on August 27, 2010

So league football returns to Bloomfield Road tomorrow and it’s Premier League Football. Tomorrow is set to be our largest attendance for a very long time, for me the largest crowd I’ve even seen at Bloomers.

The last visit from Fulham wasn’t all that long ago (in comparison to the largest gate), back in October 1998 Fulham took all three points in a 3-2 win. The away side went 2-0 up, John Hills pulled one back but Geoff Horsefield regained the two goal lead before the break. Marin Aldridge grabbed a goal in the second half to make the score more respectable.  see stats. That day 5,904 were present, it’s looking like it will be around 17,000 on Saturday.  And for the first time in ages more in Bloomfield Road than down the road at Dumpdale.

It looks like Evatt will come back into the back four after missing out midweek, in fact it should be the same line up as the Arsenal game bar Harewood who picked up a hamstring strain. Brett could start, but there is still a few hours till the Friday deadline, Luke Varney has been mentioned as a loan signing.

Here’s hoping we can keep Bobby quiet tomorrow and pick up another three points and start to build a fortress at Bloomfield Road!
