Following an opening day win, the Iron return to Glanford Park for back-to-back games, first welcoming Jimmy Dean's former side Peterborough Sports on Saturday, August 12th (3pm kick-off).

United go into the game six unbeaten following victories over Ilkeston Town, Gainsborough Trinity and Burton Albion, with draws against Doncaster Rovers and Hull City in pre-season prior to the win at Tamworth last weekend.
