BANGOR CITY face two tough matches to open up their Uefa Cup campaign, as the Citizens play against Danish side FC Midtjylland on starting this Thursday evening (17 July - 7.30) at the Racecourse Ground.

"The Danes are traditionally tough customers and they are used to playing in front of crowds of 10-15,000," said manager Nev Powell.

"We're switching the first leg to Wrexham's Racecourse Ground, that will be a boost for us.

"The other good thing is that they are like us, in that they don't play summer football and haven't started their season yet.

"It's going to be a trip into the unknown, but our lads will look forward to it."

Entry on the night will be cash in the Yale Stand - turnstiles 7-10 - and prices will be:

£10.00 - Adults
£10.00  - Seniors
£5.00 - Children
