Shame that the Macclesfield home game is on Tuesday 30th September.

Utterly bewildering and hugely disappointing.
Why on earth are we not playing Macc home and away over Christmas and New Year?
They've been given Grimsby Town for Heaven's sake!

Probably starts from the idea that the coppers will not want Chester to play Wrexham at Xmas/New Year; we've probably ended up with Chester in order to avoid that, & in that case the police might have said Macc v Wrexham was a non-starter too. Unfortunately that's the world we live in ... Incidentally, I always though it likely that Southport would be the Bank Holiday fixture so that doesn't surprise me at all.

Good to see a nice flow of comments again.  This past three weeks in particular has been very quiet on here.

The season...it's not far away now.

COME ON ALTY

[Hemel Alty]

Doesn't today just bring home the enormity of our achievement. Badly arranged or not, the release of the fixtures really ratchets up the anticipation doesn't it? And no more trips to two bit grounds with 2 step terraces, no toilets, hedges down one side and sub 300 gates. Bring it on.

[altrincham]

Cant believe the Macc fixtures we should complain after waiting so long to pay them again ....

[Jimmy]

Are we playing Chester at Christmas because the police want Wrexham v Chester in midweek?

[Hamilton]

Gateshead on two of the 4 Bank Hols? Beyond belief!!!

Is it done by computer or a logarithmic table? Some of those fixtures defy sense - particularly some of the Tuesday ones.

I can see this being moved to Friday or something like for a TV game: 16/8 Bristol Rovers (H)

Did I spot Dover away the weekend before Crimbo too?

[Iateallthepies]

Woking away on 2nd December. Awesome!!!

[Nasha]

Did I spot Dover away the weekend before Crimbo too?

Nope, Dover at home weekend before. The away game is the weekend of my birthday, which is on the Monday.

Regarding the Macc games, looking games in which GMP will be at include United vs Newcastle (Boxing Day) and City vs Sunderland (New Years Day). Maybe both us and Macc were advised to not play each other on bank holidays too, as I think I've heard it's double the cost for the same number of coppers, although could be wrong. Only explanation I can think of anyway.

Unfortunately we are probably nearer to Gateshead than everyone bar Halifax......I always suspected it would be the "Bank Holiday Special".

[anglo alty]

Welcome back to the Conference, Torquay United. First fixture Gateshead away. (at least they get it out of the way whilst the sun's out).

don't tempt fate for them

[anglo alty]

Not the worst start we could have had i can see the bottom clubs being roughly the same need to pick up some pts in the first six games playing teams like aldershot lincoln and southport. Bristol might struggle too the're skint

[roytonmike]

For info - FA Cup 4QR is 25 Oct & R1 is 8 Nov (hence no league games); FA Trophy R1 is 13 Dec & R2 10 Jan (also a blank league date).
