Pool add Bristol City date to fixtures
BLACKPOOL will face Bristol City as their latest pre-season fixture is announced.
Boss Ian Holloway will take his squad back to his home city as part of preparations for the Premier League.
The Seasiders will take-on Steve Coppell's Robins on Saturday, July 31 (3pm).
City manager Steve Coppell said: "We already had a series of fixtures arranged against League Two and League One sides and we needed to step things up for the final warm-up game.
"Blackpool are now a Premier League club and I'm sure they will provide us with the kind of test we require a week before the season kicks off.
"Ian Holloway has done a fantastic job up there and Blackpool's achievement in winning the play-offs has given every Championship club hope. They have shown what can be done when you believe in what you are doing and play attacking football.
"But Blackpool will be good opposition for us and it's a game which should prove attractive to the supporters."
