Andy Preece's men will play host to NPower League Two outfit Accrington Stanley tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) after arranging a pre-season friendly with John Coleman's side.

Stanley were due to play East Lancashire rivals Burnley on their return to the North West after participating in the Joma South West Tournament. But that match has been cancelled in order to protect the playing surface at the Crown Ground.

Over £70,000 has been spent on improving the pitch this season with the levelling of the surface and the installation of a new drainage and sprinkler system.

A statement on the club's official website reads: 'After discussions with the pitch contractors [we] have decided that the sensible way forward is to allow a further ten days or so before it is played on to ensure that we do not do anything to jeopardise the work that has gone into making what will be the best playing surface ever at the Crown Ground.'

The visitors last outing saw them beat Zamaretto South & West side Bideford 5-2 on Wednesday

Kick off for tomorrow's game will be 3pm.

Admission is as follows:

Adults - £5

Concessions - £3

Under 16s - Free

Tickets will be on sale at the green ticket cabin at the entrance to the Victoria Stand.
