BRADFORD (Park Avenue) will take on a side relegated from the EFL in a pre-season friendly.
Mark Bower’s side will entertain Scunthorpe United at the Horsfall Stadium in a clash on Tuesday, July 26 (kick-off 7.30pm).
Scunthorpe United will be hoping for promotion at the first attempt from the National League, as their 72-year membership in the Football League came to an end earlier this month.
The Iron finished bottom of League Two after a sorry season which saw Keith Hill’s men finish with just 26 points from their 46 games.
