Dale have announced a couple of pre-season friendlies with the announcement that we'll be having trips to Macclesfield and Bury in the run up to the 2014-15 season.

A game against Bury was hardly a big surprise and it would seem like we'll be going there for the last pre-season game. The fixture will take place at the JD Arena on Saturday 2nd August with a 3pm kick off.

The other friendly game will see us take a trip to Cheshire to take on Conference side Macclesfield Town. This game will take place on Tuesday 29th July with a 7:30pm kick off.

Dale will do their usual trip to foreign climes as part of the pre-season campaign with a trip to Tenerife. We will depart on July 3rd.
