David Downes interview (Sporting Director) screamed of tempering expectations:
After finishing just outside of the play-offs on the final day of the campaign last time out, the Seasiders will be looking to learn and improve on certain areas with another enthralling, yet challenging season on the horizon.
"You look at the sides that are joining us - the likes of Wrexham and Stockport who have done exceptionally well over recent years and are riding the crest of a wave. The sides that are coming down from the Championship are established clubs in and around this level as well, so there are realistically probably around 12-15 teams who all think they will have a chance of making the top six come the end of the season.
