Notts County begin 2017/18 EFL season with difficult fixtures

Notts County will begin the 2017/18 League Two season with a trip to Coventry City on Saturday 5 August.

As fixtures go, it is arguably one of the trickiest propositions for the Magpies, with the Sky Blues coming down from League One the previous season.

Things do not get easier either, with local rivals Chesterfield coming to Meadow Lane a week later in County's first home game of the campaign.

In terms of the other first local clashes of the season, Lincoln City will head to the Lane on 23 September, while Mansfield Town are the opponents at the One Call a week later.

The regular season will then finish with a home game against Luton Town on 5 May.

Here is a list of all the fixtures.

    August does look tough, but in reality it's difficult to tell what the "difficult" fixtures really are before the season starts. Coventry are in a right mess and looking at the bookies' odds Chesterfield and Wycombe are less fancied than we are. It could well be that Accrington and Morecambe are sterner tests than those three!

    I looked out for Lincoln but unfortunately I'm unlikely to be there for either. Shame, that's a ground I enjoy visiting. Mansfield at home could work for me though.

    The end of the season could be tasty if there's something at stake - three of the last five at home, one against Cov with presumably a good away following, penultimate game at Grimsby (we could take a few there - the missus will love a weekend at the seaside) and then finishing at home to Luton, who will probably be in the promotion picture again.
