Who would you like 1st game and who do you think we'll get?
As the borer are at home on the 15th- I'm assuming that that means our 1st game will be at home (though could be wrong)

I would like a top team first up- Carlisle or SARFend- put them to the sword early on and make a real statement of intent.
Reckon it's more likely to be Halifax, with Harris scoring a hatrick! :pray:

In the event that we're away, I'd like Yeovil or Eastleigh- get one of the long away trips out the way early on.

That ‘humiliation’ was a collective kamikaze approach by a team who it appeared lacked ‘motivation’…….yes it would be a nice home fixture. :dance:

It's mainly been for decades the Cleveland police don't like us both at home on the same day.
Someone at work said it only happened 3 times last season.

August the 8rh Boro are home to Wrexham in the league Cup.
I'd prefer a home match game 1.
Reckon loads of optimism could even get the crowd above 4379.

UTP.

Had a quick look at our fixtures for the last 3 seasons since we came down.

Based on that we can look forward to starting the season with an away game in the Deep South (Yeovil for the last 2 seasons, Barnet before that) and an early game with Sarffend. The National League's clapped out Commodore likes to give us an early fixture with Woking too.

the main thing is playing every team when they are out of form and avoiding them when they ar on some sort of run. everybody plays each other home and away but its when you actually play them can make a difference where you finish.

If things go as they might, your visit to Roots Hall on the last day of the season could be an absolute belter. Good luck for the season.

First game is at home to Barrow, I can see a crowd of over 5K for that one!

Could be a cracker. What's going on with so many of your players leaving? Seems to have upset a lot of Shrimpers.

Not sure what is going on with DAZN, but it looks like not every match will be available to watch live this season.

They have released a list of our televised games, but it currently has 16 games that they say that they are not covering.

Just seen the ko times as shafted by DAZN, that game is now a 12:30 ko, and a 17:30 ko when we come to you!

On the player front, when it was clear that Kev Maher and Co couldn't work with the new management set up, the Club decided to bin those who's contracts had expired. This allowed Dyer to bring in his own lads as selected by our new Director of Football and Director of Recruitment. We've now got 18 players on the books, so we'll have to see if we're going to be any good. What happened to football being simple?

I think some of the odd kick-off times are down to DAZN rating Pools as serious play-off contenders for the coming season. We hardly got a look in with live televised games last season

seems closer the opponent the bigger chance of it being a midweek game. nothing new in this as gateshead is usually a midweek . game most especially those who do not go regularly want to see but being mid week its not that populat. at a guess it will be 1,000 off the game from a saturday.
