Team news for both sides scarce will add later


Here we go again a delayed start to the season means this one will be more frenetic than ever suspect with squads limited to 25 every side will fully use them.
First up for North End, Steve Cooper's play off losing side Swansea, last season ended all square with Sinclair scoring for North End and Brewster for the Swans, the latter celebrated in front of the Town End which immediately brought us to thinking he was a dick.
Swans have been rare visitors head to head record they are in front having won 25 to our 20 with 18 draws.
One of the draws was on 25/8/79 when the visitors under John Toshack spent the entire second half passing back to their keeper, went down well with the natives. Last time we won Brendan Rogers complaine about the length of the grass.
Swans have made some interesting signings but will need to be better than they were against Newport last Saturday when they completely ballsed up my fixed odds coupon.
Empty ground makes this one a tough game to predict only worry is will be who is between the sticks for us.
