Or Morecambe against Lancaster City to put it another away.
The Lancashire clubs will play for 'The Bay Trophy' at the Globe Arena, home of Morecambe FC, on Saturday 15 July and they hope this will become a regular pre-season fixture that alternates between there and Giant Axe, Lancaster's wonderfully named stadium.
Admission is priced at a flat £5 with Under 16's free on an afternoon that also sees a Family Fun Day take place.
The game will also raise money for local beneficiaries, one of the first of which will be the Neil Marshall Memorial Fund which was set up after the untimely passing of the former Lancaster captain.
As Morecambe director Rod Taylor told the official club website, the Shrimps are also keen to strengthen their links with the local community after their help and support during what could easily be described as difficult times last season.
The North West of England is home, of course, to many Football League clubs and it is good to see the likes of Rochdale, Fleetwood, Blackpool, Blackburn and Bolton Wanderers taking sides around the region in pre-season.
