I’d take him - guess he won’t come cheap though!

Taken Will Swan off Crawley for an undisclosed fee. Can play anywhere across the front three, but on the face of things, he’ll find minutes hard to come by given who’s currently in-front of him.

Matthew Pennington, Blackpool fans?

Don’t think it’s been updated on here, but we’ve signed Joe Wright from Kilmarnock and Josh Neufville from Wimbledon. Both players won player of the season at their clubs last time out. Ins: Max Power Curtis Tilt Joe Wright Josh Neufville Sam Walker has extended his stay by signing a...

Quite frankly, we’ll be very lucky to stay up, given how strong this division has become. Pretty much a Premier League III at this stage.

leedsvaliant - was it confirmed exactly how large your budget was?

Nothing official from the club, but we’ve shifted the same amount according to our local rag.

Well, we won’t be falling into this category next season. As always, visiting supporters will be allocated 2,800-3,100 at Valley Parade. It’ll still be too many for Hudders, they never did sell out.
