2017/18 Fixtures

[DarkSithLord]

Just spotted that we are actually at home on Non League Day (7th October) for the first time ever! Finally. Chorley should bring plenty too hopefully so that should be ace.

 

[Farleigh]

Leyton Orient's first home game; 20 visiting fans (no disrespect intended).

Leyton Orient's second home game; how many seats will you give us for one of our glamour games?

 

[EnglishRed]

Bt will show you often as they make a meal of the ex football league teams and bull them up like they barcelona and show them every other week. Nothing against leyton orient by the way just gets to me how unfair bt are. Every team should be shown at home at least once during every season. Sadlt bt dont work like that

This.

And you know when you have made it as a non league team.when BT stop showing you . We generally only make it on now when we are playing the big ex league teams. Like Dagenham..

More than you (or anyone) will need, I imagine. Initial allocation for all visiting teams will be around 1,400.

Only way I could see us getting close is if we're both flying high at the time of meeting. When do we play you? Is it a Saturday? If so, if expect anything between 300 and 700 of us.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Happy to start at home, can't imagine Dover bringing many fans 325 miles North.

Fair to say BT have had their fingers in the pie for the last game of the season like, away to Tranmere could (fucking jinx) be a big one.

It takes like, 15 minutes to take the train from Ebbsfleet to Stratford, I'd be looking at the higher end of that estimate. Similarly for us, I'd go with a conservative 600-700 to start. Would probably be a little more if we weren't visiting your fine selves four days earlier

Probably 100or so. Short notice for rail tickets won't help

Balmy Saturday in March. At that stage of the season it'll depend on how you're doing, I guess.

I like to underestimate beforehand, then if we take more it makes us look better. realistically we should be looking at taking 500+ as an absolute minimum, but you never know with our support! Quite glad we have you early on. Guiseley away, Maidstone and Fylde home, Maidenhead and Dover away are our first five. All winnable, but all could prove tricky!

Ah that's right, I think I'm off that weekend. If we're going well then, as above, 500+ should be the minimum. Whilst our away support has never been great, it's improved a hell of a lot last 2-3 seasons. Less than half hour to get there, could see us taking quite a decent number regardless of how we're doing.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

At least we get to win the league away at Chester.

 

[Farleigh]

Just like you won in at Maidstone last seas....oh wait.

Luckily for you, you were playing us at the back end of last season so you got a game.

It's generally like that on all channels, though. The biggest and/or most successful teams are on more than others. Not a conspiracy towards Gateshead as you seem to make out.

No quite case in FL where each team in top 2 divisions is shown at home at least once. I get some teams are shown more than others but bt hardly play fair

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What are the BT viewing rates for the Conference? I can hardly imagine Sutton United v Leyton Orient drawing in the crowds, let alone Solihull Moors v Guiseley.

 

[Sparrow]

No one tell Genesimmons what the latest batch of BT Sport games are...

 

[GTFCfish]

How massive are we? First ever game at this level is on TV! If you closely look at the away fans that game you will see the realisation of hope disappearing as Sutton net a fourth.

Dagenham as the festive fixtures thank goodness.

Now I don't want to alarm you Llamas but this seems similar to last season too when a team relegated from the FL started on TV, it was York City.......

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Oh lordie, it's suddenly hit me that if we draw Southend in the FA Cup will we be plucky non league minnows taking on the big boys?

*Vomits*

Dont worry bt will bull you up like you are real madrid and no doubt make a documentary about your manager as thougth hes the new brian clough

Good luck to those Pools fans getting to Maidenhead for a 12:30ko...

 

[E10rifle]

We had a 12:15 kick off on a Sunday up at Pools the other year, so they're just going to have to wear this one.

 

[yellow]

Have we been picked?

You have to get to the first round before that can happen...

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

To be fair I'm fully expecting Sammy Moore's Leatherhead to do us in fourth round qualifying.

 

[Joe.]

I've still not forgiven Sammy Moore for his exploits against us a few years ago.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

We are all plucky outsiders if we draw the nailsworth bumpkins in the cup now #theshame

 

[JaredSUFC]

I don't know about anyone else but Sutton United had one of the most watched domestic matches on TV in the country last season. Obviously we're the big media stars here....

 

[Joe.]

Guiseley away booked up. £73.

Ground 123.

 

[doveranddover]

Macclesfield v Dover August bank holiday has been moved to the Friday evening. Not sure that is any better
