Kicking off on Wednesday 22nd June Town will visit two NWCFL North Division sides in the space of three days. Firstly we travel to the recently renamed Darwen FC for a 7:30pm KO on 22/6, followed by a short trip to Garstang FC on Friday 24th June.

Tuesday 28th June will see the newly sponsored Recycling Lives Ground graced for the first time under it's new guise. Bolton Wanderers will be the visitors as Ian Evatts side kick off their pre-season campaign in a re-run of last years fixture.

Last years NWCFL Premier Division Champions Macclesfield Town will visit us on Saturday 2nd July which should see the return of former Town crowd favourite Brandon Lee who transferred to the Cheshire based club last year.

FC United will be our opponents on Tuesday 5th July as 'Renno' brings his Northern Premier Division side to Town.

We then welcome two local Championship sides to the Recycling Lives Ground as Blackpool visit on 9th July closely followed by a game against Preston North End on Wednesday 13th July in a 7pm KO.

Our final Saturday home game of pre-season sees our annual game vs Bamber Bridge with Jamie Milligans whites coming to 'The Ridge' on the 16th July. This is followed by another familiar fixture as Town face West Lancashire Premier Division side Fulwood Amateur's on Tuesday 19th July.

Finally to finish off what promises to be an arduous pre-season for the players but an enjoyable one for the fans, manager Lee Ashcroft takes his side up to Barrow to face off with Holker Old Boys on Saturday 23rd July for a 2pm Kick Off. No doubt following a lot of hard work over the 6-8 weeks prior this will be used a final bonding trip for the lads as we prepare for a big season ahead in the NWCFL Premier Division.

Ticket information will be announced in due course.

Also please note although all times are subject to change, unless otherwise mentioned Kick Off time are 7:45pm for midweek matched & 3:00pm for Saturdays.

We look forward to getting back to it and seeing supporters back at 'The Ridge'!
