Thursday, July 19 – 1900
Although the Blackpool club have had to pass through trying times, the prospects for the forthcoming season are exceedingly bright. Amongst the new players signed are Taylor (Herwich), goal; Greenhalgh (Herwich), back; Copeland and Broomfield (South Liverpool), forwards; and J. Parkinson (Liverpool); while several other important captures are expected within the next few days. The financial outlook is also satisfactory.
