Squad set for run out at Nethermoor this evening
Town’s players will be back in action tonight (Wednesday) when the Terriers travel to Nethermoor Park to take on Guiseley AFC in a 7.45pm kick-off.
It’ll be the second game in consecutive nights for Mark Robins and the squad after last night’s 1-1 draw at York City; click HERE for our match report!
The corresponding game last season was Town’s first pre-season friendly, with the Blue Square Bet North promotion hopefuls winning 1-0.
Guiseley – 2012/13 season
Managed by Steve Kittrick, the Lions finished second in the Blue Square Bet North last season – although their 91 points from 42 games put them a full 16 points behind winners Chester.
With only one team promoted automatically from the division, Guiseley entered the Play-Offs and lost 3-1 on aggregate to FC Halifax Town over two legs in the semi-final.
Guiseley – ones to watch
As with Chesterfield in the opening pre-season friendly, a few familiar faces could line up against Town this evening.
Andy Holdsworth played 261 games for Town after graduating from the Academy between 2003 and 2009, skippering the side on several occasions. Although deployed largely as a right-sided defender during his time at the Club, he now features regularly in central midfield for Guiseley.
In Guiseley’s recent friendly defeat to Bradford City, former Town man Israel Johnson – released in the summer – came off the bench too.
Former Town Academy goalkeeper Jacob Giles is also on the books at Nethermoor Park.
Admission information
Town fans should pay on the gate, with admission priced at £10 adults, £6 concessions, £4 under-16s and free for accompanied U12s.
