Accrington Stanley Pre Match on 12:16 - Sep 19 with 749 views
Blackpool are set to be backed by a bumper away following this weekend as they aim to make it back-to-back victories in League One against struggling Accrington Stanley.
More than 1,300 tickets have already been sold for Saturday's clash, where the Seasiders will be looking to build on Tuesday night's return to winning ways against Doncaster Rovers.
Supporters still have until 4pm tomorrow to buy their advanced tickets, meaning Pool are likely to match last season's impressive following at the Crown Ground.
Pool were backed by 1,823 fans on a Tuesday night in March, where Jay Spearing's late penalty sealed a narrow 2-1 victory.
There was a real party atmosphere inside the stadium that night as supporters celebrated the recent removal of their despised previous owner.
It will be Blackpool's biggest away following since last month's 0-0 draw at Rochdale, where 2,014 supporters made the trip to Spotland.

Although the Wham Stadium (but still known to many fans as the Crown Ground) is on the smallish side, it is set in a picturesque area, with views over fields and hills behind the Coppice Terrace at one end of the ground. The ground has recently seen some new investment with the construction of a new 1,100 capacity single tiered, covered all seated stand on the Whinney Hill side. Called the Eric Whalley Stand after the former Club Chairman and Owner, this tidy looking stand, has helped improve the overall look of the stadium.
On one side of the ground is the Jack Barrett Memorial Main Stand, which at first glance looks like one stand, but in fact, it is comprised of two small stands. They sit on either side of the half way line, with an open gap between the two. Both are all seated covered stands and they have an unusual array of tubular steelwork, running across the top of them. The Main Stand was renamed the Jack Barrett Memorial Main Stand, in memory of a supporter who helped re-form the Club after due to financial problems they were forced to resign from the Football League in 1962.
Both ends are fairly new looking affairs, of which the home end, the William Dyer Electrical Stand is covered, whilst the Coppice Terrace opposite is open to the elements. Both these ends are terraces. The ground has a set of four modern looking floodlights that were installed at the start of the 2018/19 season. There is also a large video screen located in one corner of the ground in-between the Whinney Hill Side and Coppice End.

Accrington Stanley
An old club but a new one. After the collapse of the original club in 1966, which was founded in 1891 there was a period of two years where there was no club. At a meeting at Bold Street Working Men's Club in 1968 the revival was initiated, and in August 1970 the new club played at a new ground, the Crown Ground, where they still play today.
Capacity: 5,057 Major honours: League two winners 2017-18 Conference National winners 2005-06 Division Two winners 1963-64

Reds manager looks ahead to Blackpool match

John Coleman knows there are plenty of goals in his Stanley side and feels they are getting closer to cutting them out at the other end as the Reds take on Blackpool on Saturday.
Coleman’s side face the fifth placed Seasiders at the Wham Stadium looking to chalk up their second League One win of the campaign and their first clean sheet since January this year.
The Reds boss says striker Colby Bishop’s ankle injury, sustained in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Wycombe, is not as bad as first feared and he knows there are goals in his side. Dion Charles, signed from Southport in the summer, scored his third goal of the campaign at Adams Park before a disputed penalty levelled the scores.
“We are scoring goals and we look like we will score goals,” said Coleman. “If you look at the stats in the league we have made the third most chances, we just need to continue that and put them away and then we should be able to climb the table.
“Both Colby and Dion have taken to this league like ducks to water and they will only get better. Dion does unbelievably good things, and sometimes some unbelievably silly things, but he is still learning and his enthusiasm is hard not to like.
“Colby is having a scan today but his injury is not as bad as first feared. He is adjusting to the demands of full-time football again and he will get fitter and sharper. Both are a handful for us.
“We have been working hard to eradicate the errors at the back and I think we saw that on Tuesday.
“We didn’t get the clean sheet we have been craving but it was a dubious penalty, I think anyone will agree with that.
“We dealt with Wycombe’s aerial and physical threats and we know Blackpool will be similar in that way. They have some physical forwards and they are a good team who are capable of winning and losing at the same time, similar to ourselves.
“We have to focus on what we are going to do and not get blinded by the opposition. At home, we have to concentrate on giving them problems not what problems they will give us.”
Coleman was full of praise for Blackpool counterpart Simon Grayson, who took over at Bloomfield Road for the second time in July.
“Simon is a good manager, especially at this level. I have known him quite a while and he always produces good players and good teams.
“I think he is embracing and enjoying going back to a club he knows, he feels comfortable at, and I hope they do well — just not when they play us.”

John Coleman full of praise for Blackpool boss ‘harshly treated at Sunderland’
John Coleman full of praise for Blackpool boss ‘harshly treated at Sunderland’
September 19, 2019 Roy Thomson Accrington Stanley, Blackpool, League One, Sunderland 0
Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman was full of praise for his Blackpool counterpart Simon Grayson ahead of this weekend’s League One clash at the Crown Ground.
Blackpool are expected to be backed by a bumper away following on Saturday and Coleman was quick to express admiration for both the once-troubled club’s supporters and the Seasiders manager who he felt got a raw deal at one of his previous clubs, Sunderland.
Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette ahead of the game, the long-serving boss of Stanley said: ‘They’ve got a great set of fans, and the majority of them are brilliant.’
‘The fans should be applauded for going through the pain, and they’ve always had a great following.’
‘Their manager is good at this level. I’ve known him for quite a while, and he’s always created, good players and good teams.’
‘In my opinion, he was harshly treated at Sunderland.’

‘Their manager is good at this level. I’ve known him for quite a while, and he’s always created, good players and good teams.’
‘In my opinion, he was harshly treated at Sunderland.’
Grayson was sacked by Sunderland in October 2017 with his team twenty-second in the Championship after just eighteen games and four months in charge. He won only one league game during his disastrous reign, but despite his departure, the club still suffered painful relegation from the Championship at the end of the campaign.
He’s since found a new lease of life at Blackpool who are currently riding high In League One after an excellent start to the season. Their form has dipped a little of late, but Grayson will be hoping for three points against Coleman’s men who have endured a challenging run of form which has seen them win just once in eight games, conceding sixteen goals in the process.
Our View
Most Sunderland fans would probably disagree with Coleman’s comments after a quick glance at Grayson’s record.
However, Sunderland was in turmoil at the time, and he was literally on a hiding to nothing taking a club that lacked direction and leadership off the pitch.
With hindsight, Grayson probably wished he stayed at Preston.
In fairness, some Black Cat supporters did feel he deserved more time to turn the club around, but that was never likely once the majority of fans got on his back.
Nonetheless, Grayson proved during his previous spell at Blackpool he is decent manager, and he will be desperate to build on Tuesday night’s impressive 1-0 at Doncaster and maintain their momentum as he looks once again to guide the Seasiders to promotion.

Simon Grayson has revealed 'one or two' of his Blackpool players are carrying knocks ahead of tomorrow's trip to Accrington Stanley.
While Grayson opted to keep his cards close to his chest and not reveal the individuals, he confirmed they suffered the knocks during Tuesday night's 1-0 win at Doncaster Rovers.
It might force Grayson's hand and change his team once again, having dropped Armand Gnanduillet and Sullay Kaikai to the bench in midweek.
“One or two picked up knocks on Tuesday night and we’ll see where we are come the morning," Grayson said.
“One or two missed training but whatever team we have got available, let’s go out and embrace this big opportunity of a local derby and try and get another three points.
“It’s a lot easier to pick the team than it was on Tuesday, that's for sure.
“The players put on a good performance and we’ve done better in the last two games in terms of the shape of the team.
“Hopefully we have learned lessons on how to deal with games.
“When you’ve lost back-to-back games the last thing you want to do is have another defeat.
“To go to a place like Doncaster was always going to be a tough ask for us but we came through it and we were delighted.
“You study your team selection and you make your substitutions when you feel it’s the right thing to do and it is all about the squad we’ve got at this moment in time.
“We said when the window shut that we were really pleased with what we’ve got in the group in terms of different types of people and different types of personnel for different games.
“I went with the team on Tuesday night with the strength in depth to come off the bench.
“That’s not just Armand (Gnanduillet) and Sullay (Kaikai), who came on, but also people like Sean Scannell, Ollie Turton and Callum Guy - players who have played a lot of football.
“It’s what you need throughout the course of the season.”

Come on Pool. Another important game as they all are.
An optimistic 2-0 Pool victory for me
We’re of the opinion that Accrington Stanley could find themselves up against it to score against this Blackpool team who we think will get a goal themselves and run out victorious. We’re therefore expecting a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Blackpool at the conclusion of the game
âš½ï¸ What was the score last time they played each other in this competition?
The previous league game featuring these sides was League One match day 31 on 05/03/2019 when it ended Accrington Stanley 1-2 Blackpool. The match was refereed by Ross Joyce.
Team Focus: Accrington Stanley
Formed: 1968 Nickname: Stanley Stadium: Wham Stadium (5,057) Captain: Séamus Conneely Chairman: Peter Marsden Manager: John Coleman Competitions: League One position 20, EFL Trophy (Group B - North)
Star Man: Dion Charles
Generally played in the Left Attacking Midfielder position, Dion Charles was born in Preston, England. Having made a first senior appearance for Halifax in the 2017 - 2018 season, the talented Midfielder has managed 2 league goals in the League One 2019 - 2020 season to date in a total of 6 appearances.

Team is unchanged, and Gnanduillet is out injured! Kaikai on the bench. Time for Nuttall and Hardie to step up!

Controversial one here.
I think Nuttall is quality.
OK, he needs to add some aggression to his game but I'm predicting that he's going to be a fantastic player for us and we'll flog him for a princely sum.
