Blue Square Bet North play-off semi-finalists Guiseley have confirmed their first two pre-season friendlies.

They will play npower League One play-off finalists Huddersfield Town, who will be sending a first team to Nethermoor on Saturday, July 21.

Meanwhile, Bradford City will visit Guiseley in another high-profile contest on Wednesday, August 1 (7.45).

The match against Simon Grayson’s Terriers, who could be a Championship club by then, will be the first game at Nethermoor following further stadium refurbishment during the close season.

City, who are under Phil Parkinson, will also be send-ing a first team to face the Lions.

Last season, Guiseley added a second stand, while plans for the summer include getting their own water supply and replacing the perimeter fencing behind the stands and in front of the third-generation artificial pitch, as well as getting new dugouts.

Guiseley’s joint club secretary Adrian Towers was on the pitch yesterday, and said: “They are digging the bore-hole at the moment and are 50 feet down. Maybe they will have to go 100 feet down to get to the water.

“The money for the project has come from the Football Foundation, while the new perimeter fencing will give us more space for terracing.

“The dugouts are past their sell-by date and the new ones will be more like those seen in the Football League.”
