Blackpool played a match today, and they had a full team! Kind of.
Blackpool only had four bench players for Championship opener
They didn’t have a full bench, but they had a starting XI and that’s a big deal.

The Tangerines had a full starting XI for the first match of their Championship season, but they couldn’t fill out their bench. They only had 15 players under contract, which means a four-man bench.

— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) August 9, 2014 It was only three weeks ago that the Tangerines canceled a preseason tour to Spain because they only had seven players under contract and a week ago they got to 11 players, but didn't have a goalkeeper so having a full team is a big deal.
A four-man bench? Big deal.
Blackpool had a starting XI, AND a goalkeeper? Party at Bloomfield Road.
