Hartlepool away on the opening day then,...................

Accy at HOME !!!!

Grand , four home games in August including cup game . A footyfest to start the season off

Luton Town have replaced the Cheltenham Town home and away midweek fixtures as both games are scheduled for a Tuesday night.

Cambridge away on a Tuesday night too.

Full list for us

Mansfield at home on Boxing day is a bit disappointing.

They are horrible Christmas fixtures. What happened to keeping Christmas fixtures local to get the attendances in?

How about Dagenham Away on Easter Monday, that will make Sardineleaders eyebrows raise

Dagenham away on Bank holiday Monday as well oh joy

I am gutted! My work colleague is a Mansfield fan and the one day he can't go is.......Boxing Day,,,

Indeed. Noticed that one too Mark but will (presumably) be a 3pm kick off.

Nightmare journey regardless though on an Easter Weekend.

Wasn't it Easter Monday at Dagenham that was shown on Sky as an 11am kick off?

To be fair, there aren't many local games in this league!

If the club move any of our home fixtures to Sundays then I wont be happy.

Agreed. Football at our level is 3pm on Saturday.

Completely agree.

No more "Super Sundays" please !!

You don't fancy that one then?

It's time a bit of common sense was introduced into the fixtures. Why can't local games be played on a Tuesday and long distance games on a Saturday? Accrington on a Saturday and Cambridge away on a Tuesday are plain daft and show no consideration for players and fans. Getting home around 4a.m. after a long distance mid-week trip makes no sense.

Absolutely agree, and no changing a Saturday PM fixture to Friday evening either.

Glad to see York at home on a Saturday (last game of the season). We've not had them at home on a Saturday for a few years - always seems to get changed away from the Saturday for some reason. Leave it alone this year please!

Burton will have a bonanza... short trip to Bradford, then Swindon and Blackpool at home ~ they can't make everyone happy.

When we have to trail to Stevenage, Blackpool are at home to Fleetwood ...hmmmm ...and no surprise Preston are away that day, the Fylde coast will need all the help it can get

23rd April the return of Mark Hughes

Carlisle are away to Plymouth on Tuesday 18th August. That must be about as bad as it can get.

See you at Fratton Park on 22 August.
Have your summer holiday down here, and make a week of it.

Accrington get Carlisle at home on Boxing Day meaning the Carlisle fans have 90 odd extra miles round trip compared to them coming to us.

Mansfield come to us Boxing Day meaning they have 90 odd extra miles compared with them going to Accrington.

Yeah, but at least Mansfield are in the Northern Hemisphere.. nothing beats Easter for our Northern teams

Friday/Saturday

Accrington v Leyton Orient
Hartlepool v Wimbledon
Morecambe v Plymouth
Yeovil v Carlisle
York v Crawley

Monday:

Carlisle v Bristol Rovers
Dagenham v Morecambe
Leyton Orient v Hartlepool
Newport v Accrington
Plymouth v York

Was hoping to draw Notts County away on a Saturday, its on a Monday in between Christmas and New Year. At least York away is a Saturday this year albeit close to Christmas.

Looking forward to visiting new grounds for me: Yeovil, Orient and Barnet (went to the old one)

Boxing Day fixture is horrible for both clubs.
