Dale fans will have their first chance to see new signing Lewis Alessandra when Keith Hill takes his first team squad to Fylde on Sunday.
For possibly the first time ever, for the second fixture in succession, Dale play on a Sunday - this time in a pre season friendly against the side which finished second in the Conference North. last season.
Hill has admitted that he is taking his entire first team squad for this game, but there's bound to be a number of changes throughout the game. Last season, Dale won 2-1 with goals from Callum Camps and Scott Tanser in what proved to be Scott Hogan's last run out in a Dale shirt.
For those who went last season found out, it can be difficult to find the ground. Park at the Birley Arms, and the ground is hidden behind there. Full ground guide at Football Ground Guide. Entry is £8 and kick off is at 2pm.
