A considerable section of the back catalogue of outstanding fixtures at youth and reserve team level has been cleared following the re-arrangement of several games for the two sides.
The youth team have now just one outstanding game to reschedule - last Saturday's waterlogged cancellation against Wigan - with other games now planned to take place as follows:
Rochdale v Preston North End
Ex: 5 January 08 / 7 January 08
This fixture will now take place on Monday 21st April 2008, kick off 2pm at Dark Lane, Rossendale United FC.
Accrington Stanley v Preston North End
Ex 15 December 2008
This fixture will now take place on Saturday 12th April 2008, kick off 10.30am at Shawbridge, Clitheroe FC.
Preston North End v Bury
Ex: 26 January 2008
This fixture will now take place on Saturday 26th April 2008, kick off 11am at Springfields.
Meanwhile, the reserve team game at Morecambe has been re-arranged for a third time, and will now take place on the earlier date of Tuesday 11th March, 7pm kick-off at Christie Park. The home encounter with Burnley (Wednesday 27th February, 7pm kick-off) has also been switched from Deepdale to Irongate, the home of Bamber Bridge FC.
