Dundee United – August 8th
10 June 2010 at 7:06 pm #36790Club confirm Dundee United and Chester FC dates
Wigan Athletic will travel to Tannadice Park to take on SPL side Dundee United in a pre-season friendly match on August 8th.
Roberto Martinez’s men will face stern opposition from ‘The Terrors’, who lifted last season’s Scottish Cup with a 3-0 win over Ross County at Hampden Park, and finished third in the SPL to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
The gaffer is looking forward to the encounter:
“This will be ideal preparation for both clubs just in time for the beginning of the new season,” said Martinez.
“I know from my time playing in Scotland how passionate the Dundee United supporters are and how intense the atmosphere they create at Tannadice Park is.
“Together with the fact they have an extremely competitive side who are on the back of a very successful season, means this will be an exciting and demanding contest.”
It has also been announced that a Wigan Athletic XI will take on Chester FC prior to the Dundee Utd game on Sunday August 1st at the Deva Stadium with a 1.00pm kick-off.
The game will see Roberto Martinez and Graham Barrow return to their former stomping-ground, where Barrow lead the Blues to promotion to Division Three in 1993-94.
Martinez finished his playing career at the Deva Stadium in 2007 and is looking forward to the game;
“Chester City is a club close to mine and Graham Barrow’s heart, and what has happened to them is very sad.
“Hopefully this game will be a boost for the new Chester FC and attract a crowd into the Deva Stadium, somewhere that holds plenty of memories.
“It will also be a great work-out for ourselves in time for the new season.”
Kick-off times and ticket details for both games will be released closer to the dates.

10 July 2010 at 1:29 pm #39647It has been confirmed that the match between Dundee United v Wigan Athletic will kick off at 3pm on the 8th of August.
On the club website it still says TBC on the pre-season fixture list but I can assure you it’s a 3pm kick off.
Anyone on here going to Dundee ?
15 July 2010 at 5:48 pm #40079I can’t go to it, as I’m going to Gay Pride that weekend with my partner of 20 years. He’d be gutted if we missed it.
I would’ve liked to have gone to Tannadice Park, as well.
Ah well. Pride will be a good one, anyway.
