Squad for Chorley: Chris Neal, Murphy, Anyinash, Jones, Mawene, Davidson, Sedgwick, Nicholson, Jarrett, Lewis Neal, Ormerod, Mellor, Appiah, Stott, Adam Barton.

Squad for Bamber Bridge: Lonergan, Hart, Smyth, Collins, St Ledger, Hill, Whaley, Chaplow, McKenna, Carter, Brown, Hawley, Turner, Fairhurst, Cudworth, Mayor.

why not play one today and one tomorrow .with the same split squad .more people would go and it would help the fans and the smaller teams .it would benefit the team and boost morale becuse all the players could attend and support each other?????????????

Simon Around 3 weeks ago Alan Irvine explained in great detail why he couldn't split days as you suggest - to do with it disrupting 3 days training for the whole squad.

Notice in one of the friendly squads the back line is missing a centre half (Smyth & Collins have joined SSl + 2 fullbacks in one squad) but the other seems to have Joe A @ RB with Billy in the middle- OR COULD A TRIALIST [late signing} BE LINED UP AS THAT SQUAD HAS ONE PLAYER LESS THAN THE OTHER ONE -even allowing for 2 keepers????

North End are running up the scores now, 11-0 v Nobody, now the mighty Bamber Bridge and Chorley. Who's next...not Morecambe by chance ?

Tell you what Northenders I reckon with AI at the helm,
we are all in for a treat this season. As opposed to the paupers down the M55, who I feel are about to return from whence they came. Toodle Pip lashers.
