McNamee will have a mixture of senior and youth players at his disposal with Ryan Catterick, Myles Anderson, Kenton Richardson, Conor Newton, Josh Hawkes, Lewis Hawkins, Marcus Dinanga and Aaron Cunningham, who is currently on loan at Blyth Spartans, set to feature.

“It’s a good opportunity to get some match fitness for some of the First Team lads,” said boss Matthew Bates, speaking to the club's official website.

“With not being in a Reserve Team league this season we will take the chance to organise these kinds of games when we can because it’s useful for the lads to keep on top of that fitness.

“As well as that, it’s another good opportunity for the Youth Team players to experience men’s football so it’s a positive exercise all round.”

However, should Pools sell those remaining tickets, receipts will be issues and fans will have to collect their tickets from the Orient's East Stand Away Ticket office from 1:30pm on Saturday.
