Shildon play Darlington 1883 in their first pre-season friendly building up to the coming season at Dean Street on Friday 12th July.
The evening kick off will be at 7.30pm. Admission for this match will be £4 for adults and £2 for concessions.
A week later, on Saturday 20th July the Railwaymen travel across the border for a tough test against Scottish League Second Division side Stranraer in their second friendly.
Stranraer now play in the same league as Rangers FC after the Glasgow giants, who were liquidated last season, achieved promotion from the Third Division.
Stranraer benefitted from the Rangers predicament, gaining an unexpected promotion as Third Division runners-up (only one side was due to be promoted) after the new Rangers club were forced to start again in the Third Division.
There is a coach going to the game, so if you wish to travel, contact Russell Henderson on 07538 789 464.
Also, season tickets are now on sale at £90 for adults and £50 for concessions. Season tickets offer a significant saving over the course of the season, reducing the average ticket price from £6 and £4 to £4 for adults and £2.27 for concessions.
Season tickets are available from Gareth Howe on 07976 822453 or Jeff Ridley at any game.
