Blackpool FC confirm the return of reserve football by rejoining Central League

Eight matches will be played in the regionalised format, with a further four taking place in the group stage of the Central League Cup.

Home fixtures are to take place at Squires Gate FC.

It was a commitment laid out by new owner Simon Sadler during the fans' forum, as he believes the re-introduction of the reserve side will help the players' pathway from the youth team to the first-team.
