I'd hope for a crewe or even York away.  At the moment the level of opposition is very week compared to our level

I assume it's to do with not being able to play home friendlies because of the pitch works - generally friendlies are played at the ground of the lower ranked team, so that's why we're playing NLN/Evostik opponents. I imagine trying to arrange a friendly at, say, a L2 side's ground is not easy. Agree though that it would be good to play at least one of the stronger NLN sides eg Chester.
agreed. As Toff Apple suggested York are lower ranking and a great place for a day out. I do note they’ve moved from Bootham Crescent to Huntington which is about 3.5 miles from the station which would require further research. Be a new ground to tick off though smile 😃

Buddy of mine lives close by. Extremely limited parking, behind a shopping centre but there is a park and ride nearby. You'll struggle to get a bus back to York centre after a night game as the P&R stops. At least two pubs by Bootham cres planning mini buses to try and retain some pre and post match trade.

A new ground that sounds similar to Chester.

We need a seaside away day please

Largs Thistle, Irvine meadow or Irvine Victoria are good for me!

Looks like all our games are away while I'm in Manchester/Altrincham!

Largs Thistle sounds like a plan, excellent golf course in Largs.. Sam Torrance’s stamping ground...

Southport. Pack your clubs, couple of decent links courses. I'll stick to the good selection of boozers in the town centre.

Even better golf course in Millport, endorsed by Nick Faldo, who said you need one leg longer than the other because of the slopes!

Wonder if it's a split of the squad or, seeing as the management will be able to see both games, whether it will be 'possibles' and 'probables'?

I think it's just the way it is this year. We would usually finish our run of psf's with a couple of strong squad league teams but I believe they kick off the season a couple of weeks before us and would be at a different stage of preparation.
The club have already said that next year will be different when the seasons are more synchronised.

West Didsbury and Chorlton is a lovely club, and a great little ground.

Isn't our ex reserves manager in charge there with some of the players?
