Where to Go Pre season !






I  am guessing you are still taking in yet another tough start as far as opening month fixtures are concerned, but if we are going to do anything this term we need to play and beat the better teams at some stage, there will be no hiding away, so early doors will do for me, and I just might have a quid or two on us !
Meanwhile we have a clutch of  pre season friendlies approaching- the first two being away from Edgeley Park offer County`s travelling support the chance to gain an insight into how the new players signed by Neil Young are gelling.


Clitheroe FC


The first of these, on Saturday July 11 at 3 pm, sees County travel to Lancashire to take on Clitheroe FC of the Evo Stik NPL- the fixture being something of a `thank you' to Clitheroe after the deal that took Danny Morton to Edgeley Park.

Pendle Road, Clitheroe,
