PAUL Fildes and Damien Ingham begin the first of a three-match ban as Padiham entertain Blackpool Mechanics tomorrow.
But the absence of Fildes - leading scorer in Division Two - could pave the way for new signing Vinnie Braine to make his debut just days after signing for the Storks.
The former New Mills striker, who scored seven goals in Padiham's last four meetings with the High Peak outfit, could be thrown straight into manager Steve Wilkes starting line-up as the Storks aim to play their first game in three weeks.
"It's a big signing for Padiham," said Wilkes.
"He could have gone to Winsford but he chose us instead and we're glad to have him on board."
