Championship side Burnley to play the Aztex this summer

I just saw this on the ticker on Sky Sports News, and I confirmed it on Burnley's web site:

Burnley finished 13th in England's Championship League this year:

Cool, I hope Ashley Cole plays in that game, the former Manure and England striker.

Andy Cole, you should say! ;) BTW, that's a fairly good test for the Aztex. Should be a fun match!

Wow. July 9, eh?

The Burnley site is making it sound like they're playing a USL-1 team. I wonder what team the Aztex will put out there. We'll be getting close to the stretch run for the playoffs (hopefully), and will have a road trip to Louisiana just two days later.

I hate mid-season friendlies.

Nevertheless, that's a very nice friendly.

We get Stoke City visiting sometime this summer, as well, don't we? There's no date posted yet on the Aztex or Stoke City web sites.

doesn't look like Cole is going to be with Burnley.
