Out in 2 days, who would you like first game?

Personally would love Chester away. Weekend away, few beers and 3 points

Chester a good shout.....Southport my choice but early last season so doubt that it will happen.

Wonder what our Boxing Day/New Year's Day game will be with Harrogate Town out of the league?

I'd imagine it'll be Bradford PA as I doubt they'd want us to be playing York on those 2 days and Spennymoor and Blyth will get each other over the festive periods.

Why would "they" not want us to play York? Chance of us / York making too much money from it?

Bradford Pa will probably end up with Guiseley, so odds on we’ll get York

Didn't York have North Ferriby last year? if that correct, then York have lost their "pair" as well. Would make logical sense therefore to pair York & Darlington.

However as sense is in short supply, the fixtures will probably send Darlington to Telford & York to Nuneaton instead

Police might have a say.

I think people are over egging a game against York. It is just York.

Exactly, the police won't want us playing York on a Bank Holiday or a Saturday. I'd imagine York away will be midweek in September like last season.

Its our year mate.

It has to be one season surely!

Sadly though it never is. Perhaps TW will change our luck.

I reckon we will get Blyth over Christmas and York will get Spendy.
Just hope we get York away on a weekend, no reason why we shouldn’t.

I agree Robbo, but the police won't be keen.

Mowden Park, as a lot are on the board.

May need an easier home fixture, so we don't do a Salford first game. some ex league outfit to attract the floating support.

All out

Open with Curzon Ashton at Home then Spennymoor on the Tue away.

Never understood why they cram so many games into the first few weeks of the season. Seven in 23 days I make it.

Good to have an opening home game and love the game away at Spennymoor the following Tuesday.

I always assumed it was to take a bit of pressure off ahead of the inevitable postponements once the weather turns, gramps.
