Preview: Morecambe vs Bulls

The Bulls travel to Morecambe - again - for this rearranged Conference fixture on Tuesday.

With the original fixture controversially postponed exactly a month ago the Bulls return to Christie Park without not only their long unbeaten run, but also missing the long injury list that plagued most of February and March.

It's a fixture that the home team has dominated, with the Bulls getting a solitary away win on their first Conference trip to Christie Park in November 1997, while Morecambe have only won twice at Edgar Street.

The Bulls will be encouraged with the 1-0 win gained at Edgar Street in September - Andy Ferrell getting the only goal just before half time with Morecambe finishing the game with 10 men following Chris Blackburn's late dismissal for two bookings.

Ferrell will miss the return serving the second match of his ban, but a staggering nine players should be available for selection after being likely to miss the original trip - including full backs Simon Travis and Alex Jeannin, striker Adam Stansfield, and midfielders Nicky Nicolau and Jamie Pitman.
