Broomes – Yes or No

Last updated : 09 July 2002 By Tony Scholes

Marlon Broomes in action last season for Grimsby
The lower tier of the Harry Potts Longside even threw missiles at him as he left the field on a stretcher in the Sheffield Wednesday game but now they could well be set to change their opinion of him or could they?

The Clarets returned this morning for pre-season training but on this occasion Stan has not announced any new signings, not surprisingly given the financial problems over the summer. There is though speculation that a new face was down at Gawthorpe in the former Blackburn defender Marlon Broomes.

There has been no confirmation from the club in fact Blackpool Football Club claim Broomes is training with them and have photographed him at their Squires Gate training area. They say that Broomes and Simon Grayson are training with them just to get their fitness levels up.

So is Broomes training with Blackpool or the Clarets – or is he in fact training elsewhere. Our Turf Moor sources have told us that he was at Gawthorpe this morning but as yet this is still unconfirmed.
