Wanderers are back on the road this weekend as they continue their pre-season schedule with a trip to Chester.

Ian Evatt’s men recorded a 1-0 victory at Bamber Bridge last weekend before running out 3-1 winners at Curzon Ashton in midweek.

Josh Dacres-Cogley, Gethin Jones and Cameron Jerome were all on target at the Tameside Stadium, while Ricardo Santos, Declan John and Dan Nlundulu missed out.

The Whites now make the trip to the Deva Stadium to face Calum McIntyre’s side, who narrowly missed out on promotion from the National League North last season.

Chester defender Liam Edwards could come up against his former club, having made eight first-team appearances during his time at Bolton.

The fixture takes place on Saturday afternoon (3pm) and supporters planning to attend must purchase tickets in advance through the home side’s ticket office on 01244 371376 or by clicking HERE.

Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £8 for concessions, £5 for under-21s and £3 for under-18s.

Ahead of the game, Evatt told the club website: “Both Bamber Bridge and Curzon were excellent and gave us a really good test and challenge.

“Both went out their way to make sure we got what we needed out of those games, so a huge thank you to those two.

“As we go on, the opposition will get stronger as we progress through. It’s another step forwards on Saturday against Chester and hopefully the performance will match that.”

Wanderers kick-off their League One campaign with a home fixture against Lincoln on Saturday, August 5.

The Whites are aiming to build on last season’s fifth-place finish, which ended with a narrow defeat against Barnsley in the play-off semi-final.
