[Sarf London Alty]

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)

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

Back in the mid 90s I'm sure we used to play Gateshead a bit on the Bank Holidays.

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!

Couldn't agree more absolute joke

ASKEY FUMING AT LACK OF CHRISTMAS CRACKER


Macclesfield boss John Askey has been left fuming by the Conference fixtures for next season.

"It's an absolute disgrace," said Askey.

"Everyone wants to do less travelling over Christmas and to play a local side to boost the gate.

Instead they are sending us to Grimsby on New Year's Day and also Bristol.

It's poor."

"I think the league has to look at how they do the fixtures."

Alty boss Lee Sinnott wasn't happy either, although the Robins do face their other Cheshire rivals, Chester FC on Boxing Day.

"We're allowed to request which opponents we'd like over Christmas but we didn't get one of them at all," he said.

Who else did we want besides Macc? (if not Chester?) Not Southport, surely? only near one left after that would be Massifax.?!
