Fixtures

[Cowshed Kid]

Thought I'd start this one, two hours to go, to keep away from the "Squad" thread.
I'll be looking initially at the opening game, the last three or four ( looking for an 'easy' run in) and the Christmas/ New Year double header.
Doubtless the list will be tweeked once BT have had a look.
5th July seemed ages away not long ago....

 

[Cowshed Kid]

As we predicted, a long journey (to Devon) opening game.
Great double header with Fylde over festive period - will look forward to that.
Last game of season at home to Monkey Hangers.

Some interesting ones:

1st game 5th August - away at Torquay, then 2 home games (Woking & Sutton) followed by Guiseley away. All arguably winnable before a tough trip to Eastleigh on 19th August.

Wrexham at home - 23rd Sep
Chester at home - 7th Oct

Boxing Day - Fylde at home and also at home 30th Dec v Guiseley before we visit Fylde on New Years Day

Wrexham away - 27th Jan
Chester away - 7th April

Big final game of the season at home to Hartlepool - 28th April.

[bring back the cowshed!]

Quite a tough first game, but at least Torquay away is on a Saturday. At the death, we have a far from easy April, but hopefully by then we will be playing with confidence.

As the season starts, I'm planning to move to Kent, so I am looking forward to seeing a lot of away games next season.

Glad we start with an away game for selfish reasons, on holiday that week. It's a relatively gentle start to the season. October looks a tough month, what idiot decided Sutton away was a good fixture 2 days before Christmas?? I'd have preferred Halifax/Guiseley as the festive double header, as unlikely to make the away game now. Definitely not the easy run in Cowshed Kid was hoping for either!

The opening games seem relatively gentle and we should be able to build some early momentum. I am pleased we have fylde over Christmas but less pleased that Maidenhead away is on a Tuesday night, a ground I had hoped to get to. Looking at the complete list, the division definitely looks weaker than last year. Hartlepool and aldershot aside, the run in does not look too bad either.

First BT change!
2nd September, home to Dover, now on BT and 5.30 kick off.

I have just noticed that on Good Friday we have a local derby at Dover. You could not make it up.
