I assume the R&H is for that memorial trophy we lost last year, I shall have a wonder down there for that one.

Hayden Road is literally 20 seconds walk from my house, so if anyone wants a beer and a BBQ before hand, give me a shout!!! :D :D

I think all of the XI or U21 friendlies last season were marked as such on the website well in advance of the games, and in fact most of them actually featured more first team players than expected due to the difficulties of getting the U21 side up and running. The only exception to that was the 1874 Northwich game, which was scheduled as a first team game yet only featured 8 players who might have been considered first team players at the time. The reason for this being holidays and injuries that were scheduled/occurred after the game had been announced.

You're right Mr Albon. Here is a link to the page on the official site advertising last season's pre-season games:
