NELSON manager John Bailey was hoping to get handy tips of Rossendale boss Jim McCluskie on how to beat Garforth Town.

The Blues welcome North East Counties side to Victoria Park in the FA Vase second qualifying round tomorrow.

Dale beat the Leeds side 4-0 in the FA Cup earlier this season. "I'll be getting on the phone before weekend to get a run down," said the Nelson boss.

He has injury problems with over Mark Robinson (knee), Scott Gizon (knee), Mark Smith (ankle) while Stuart Mulligan (work) and Andy Howarth (holiday) are missing.
