There'll be memories of refs getting strangled, Paul Butler dummy spits, a Holty and Lambert masterclass and Gregg Blundell headbutting Matt Gilks' foot as Dale make the first return to the Deva Stadium since the reformation of Chester FC.

It's Chester FC rather than Chester City these days as they've got themselves back together following the farce of the Vaughan era, and the Conference side will be our next opponents as the pre season games come thick and fast.

They kick started their pre season campaign on Saturday losing 1-0 to Oldham.

It's only a fiver to get in, and if you're under 21 you can get in free of charge.
