Oldham and Rochdale to do battle in season build-up

Boundary Park

Oldham Athletic have announced their first pre-season game in the build-up to their second season in League Two and it’ll be against a familiar foe.

Latics will host Rochdale on Saturday 20th July, kicking off at 3pm, as both teams prepare themselves for the start of the new season.

It marks Rochdale’s sixth and final pre-season fixture with games against Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Bradford City, Ramsbottom United and Hyde United also on the list.

Oldham are yet to announce their full list of pre-season games with the game against Rochdale the only one announced so far.
