Blackpool have confirmed they have added one final pre-season fixture to the calendar ahead of next weekend’s season opener.
The Seasiders are set to host Everton on Sunday afternoon and will now take the short trip to AFC Fylde two days later.
Michael Appleton’s side will take on the National League North side at Mill Farm, with a 7:30pm kick-off.
Blackpool have had a mixed bag of results in pre-season so far, claiming wins and clean sheets over Southport FC and Salford City, either side of defeats to Leeds United and Rangers.
