Opening game, who do you want?

[GodsGift]

Are there always seven games in August?

 

[Luke Imp]

Was last season but 6 the years before I think.

 

[Bendubz]

York at home first day, Tranmere at home last day. Nay bad.

And by my working out Wrexham last home game before work on new stand starts, maybe planning for Lincoln to be the first home game with it fully built. Seems they've actually taken into account our reduced capacity through the winter, that's 4 of the biggest attendances we can expect to get right there.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

I was close - we got them 2nd game - but away - all the above points still apply though

Pity the Tranmere fixture is midweek again for you lot as I'm sure you'd come down in good numbers for a Saturday game. As for McNulty, I'd be seriously worried if he was anything other than overweight.

Bromley away first up for Tranmere, I can't make it, which is a shame because I enjoyed my day out there last season.

When its due to be done? We a supposed to be there on 4th Feb and we will bring a good few if there's space. Limit it and there may well be issues...

From November - March we will be limited to a capacity of 2400.

The deadline is 31st March but I wouldn't be surprised if it's finished a little bit earlier. Unlikely to be nearly 2 months early though so I'd guess there will be problems for that match.

Didn't realise we were starting so late, thought it was mid September building started

Terry Casey said in an interview this past week it would run November-March.

 

[yellow]

So how many will away fans get in that period?

 

[Silver Stone]

200-250 at a guess, depends on demand. Likely only yourselves, Aldershot, Dover, Woking, and maybe Chester would need it.

 

[Minstermen central]

Might has well start the 3G debate,bloody 3G should be allowed after we lose 7-0 at Maidenhead,least gives McNamara an excuse

 

[FGR Stroud]

Again the fixtures have given FGR an away game for both first and last game of season.
The difference this year is that the first nine fixtures appear to be more challenging than last season, which we won, but later in season became a millstone.
As expected FGR and Torquay exchange visits over the holiday period. Long trip for us but the shortest for them.

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Hope I'm moved by August. Guiseley will be my closest game along with York.

Home start against Southport is decent I think. Chester on a Tuesday is a bitch though.

 

[Raymondo316]

Im expecting us to get royally thumped first game of the season. Be a nice wake up call for some of our ''fans'' who think we could challenge for the playoffs

With a team that could barely score last season, yep. Will take 20th.

 

[Chasing Rainbows]

Maidstone v York TV game on opening day?

Promoted v Relegated, can't see many other stand outs.

 

[Murphy]

Fancied Chester away on a Saturday so a Tuesday night is a bit annoying. Same with Torquay.

The Bank Holiday games are all good, but aside from that they've fallen a bit poxy for me when I go back to Norwich. Oh, and I assume Braintree away on Boxing Day will be a P-P so let's write that one off now.

Cool, cheers for the info chaps. I'm guessing there will be no movement on these figures given your season ticket holders etc.? I hoping it may get postponed as it's on Trophy 3rd round day so hopefully one of us may still be in it.

Given that seems to be a regular thing for you, do you know if your club actually ask for it?

Given last season's average was 2,200 and we've sold more season tickets this year, it's unlikely I'm afraid.

August bank holiday & Easter Monday against Boreham Wood.....how bloody depressing!!

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

August bank holiday & Easter Monday against Boreham Wood.....how bloody depressing!!

...for Boreham Wood

 

[Silver Stone]

...for Boreham Wood

I know, being outnumbered by away fans must feel pretty bad.

 

[The_Boss]

Our August BH and Easter Monday fixture is Solihull!!! And Good Friday is Woking away!!

Tranmere over Xmas & NY looks like its set in stone for however long we remain in this division together, but our other two biggest away crowds are Wrexham and Chester - both on tuesday nights!

What is actually wrong with the people who run this league?

 

[Raymondo316]

Barrow, Gateshead, Wrexham, Boreham Wood, Forest Green & Tranmere in our last 6 games

I hope for our sake we're well clear of relegation by then...

 

[Joe.]

Poole at home first game. Oxford City at home last game. Fuck right off.

Dartford Boxing day and New Years Day is a nice bonus after facing Essex sides the past two/three seasons. Weston away in October and Truro away in April isn't too bad either. Last time we went to Weston in October we thumped them 6-0.

 

[Davidimp]

Think ours have been done very badly as mentioned by Luke and Crazy, we have Tranmere at home the Saturday before xmas!
Torquay at home at easter, seriously!!!
Fingers crossed we get promoted and they finally used a computer this season!

Yeah - I think if we're doing alright then we would bring that many up. Presume it'll be a case of making it all-ticket if they are in such short supply.

Hope you boys are ready for a Boxing Day roasting again
