Bradford Park Avenue have confirmed another three pre-season friendlies against Football League opposition to follow their opening warm-up game against Hull City.

Hull will travel to Horsfall Stadium in less than a fortnight and the dates for Rotherham United, Bradford City and Scunthorpe United have also now been confirmed.

The programme sees Avenue playing at least once a week until their season begins in the UniBond Premier Division on Saturday August 17.

"The matches that have been confirmed seem likely to form the basis of our pre-season build-up," said press officer Tim Clapham.

"Sides from the four Football League clubs will all visit Horsfall and we have one game against non-league opponents in the North East on the Saturday before the UniBond begins.

"The Premier Division fixtures are expected to be released shortly so we don't know as yet who we will be up against when our season gets under way or whether we start with a home or away game.

"We have asked the UniBond League to ensure whenever possible that our home games do not clash with those of Bradford City as a matter of course.

"We don't want the attendances of either club to suffer by us playing in Bradford on the same day."

Clapham also reiterated that the club are looking for volunteer stewards to attend matches at Horsfall Stadium.

"We have to provide a minimum number of attendants and stewards because of the rules governing Council-owned sports stadia and we would welcome the people of the city coming forward."

Avenue's need will be greater this coming season because of their intention to run a full reserve side.

"Our commercial director Paul Grayson has informed us that our second team have applied to the Lancashire League and has expressed thanks to Cost Cutters for their sponsorship.

"If accepted we would join the reserves of Guiseley and other UniBond clubs such as Barrow, Altrincham, Ossett Town, Ashton United, Colwyn Bay, Marine, Rossendale United and Burscough.

"The league we intend to join also numbers some Conference clubs' second string teams.

"Chester City, Morecambe and Southport reserves all play in that division.

"In the absence of a full reserve division of either the Conference or the UniBond it is an ideal way forward for Avenue. It is the best league we can gain access to for our second team."
