Nelson have added an extra friendly to their list, and will entertain Bacup Borough at 3pm on Saturday 7th August.

Borough, managed by the one and only Brent Peters, will provide the fourth team of First Division opposition in the build-up to the new season.

After a 4-1 victory in the first of those against Fleetwood, we have suffered two successive 2-0 defeats. Hopefully on Saturday - following the home match with Rossendale United two days earlier - we can even things up.
