National League
Fans of clubs in the National League will need to wait a further week or so before learning their fixture schedule.
The National League, like in seasons gone by, will wait until the fixtures for the Premier League and EFL have been finalised before revealing their schedule, most likely to be released in early July.
The season will begin on the weekend of Saturday, August 2, while there is also likely to be a Friday night match to kick off the campaign, and will finish on Saturday, April 25.
Thanks a million for the the info Elite.... my brothers girlfriend lives in Leeds and she is very close to both Harrogate and Halifax so looking to get my flights booked early :) Sure is gonna be strange walking into these tiny grounds!Quote:

Without wishing to appear arrogant, I would think that is very likely to be us as new boys. I'm old school, so I like footy matches that kick off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon or 7:45pm on a Tuesday evening. Financial bonus aside, it's bloody annoying to think that TV might dictate to us more even though we're a division lower.
Its quite interesting to see that last season Orient played 12 National lge games on a tuesday night.
Part of the reason is that I think there are officially five Saturdays “lost” for cup competitions - two for the Fa Cup in October and November, and three for the FA Trophy in Jan/Feb. Plus Saturday league games will be postponed if you advance in either cup (Orient play Fylde in the FA Trophy final tomorrow).Quote:

We’d played 7 league games at the same stage in L2 (plus two cup ties with weakened sides - well, even more weakened sides than usual).
And you just know that, if we are picked for telly in that game, we'll be away at one of the newly-promoted sides and lose 3-0, irrespective of how positive pre-season was.Quote:
