STRUGGLING Notts County head to Bloomfield Road on Saturday in the first game of a home double-header which could provide a launching pad for Blackpool's season.

On Tuesday night, former Seasiders hero, Paul Groves, brings his Grimsby side to town. They are just above Blackpool having suffered a disappointing start to the season.

Richie Wellens is expected to be available despite going off injured against Birmingham, while Leam Richardson is also expected to recover after missing the midweek game.
