Thoughts on the fixtures

Yes, very well put Junior. I have to say it's answered many of my gripes. It's hard to see how a division compatible with the current level could be made up from 'local' clubs. When all is said and done we have to kick on and catch up with the likes of Yeovil, FGR, Newport and even Cheltenham (who I remember us playing in the Southern League) who have all left us behind.

One oddity on the fixture list is that we have 3 successive away Saturdays - 24 & 31 Aug and 7 Sep.
