Last updated : 01 November 2004 By Covsupport
There will be no more reserve team matches at Highfield Road. With Pride Park being chosen as a venue for an England U21 game on February 8th, City and Derby have agreed to reverse the reserve team fixtures.

City Reserves will play Derby at Nuneaton Borough on February 8th and will play their final game of the season at Pride Park on April 12th.

Highfield Road has been used for a reserve team venue throughout the club's history and it is hope that the Board can be persuaded to move one match from Nuneaton before the ground closes it's doors for the final time on April 30th.

Meanwhile City Reserves team boss Steve Ogrizovic is expected to name a young side to travel to Fulham for a FA Premier Reserve League South clash.

With the first team playing Preston North End at Highfield Road on Wednesday, Ogrizovic will be without a number of first teamers but should have Craig Pead, Bjarni Gudjonsson and Neil Wood available.

The game will be played at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground in New Malden at 7pm and admission will be £3 for adults.
