We're away on the first and last day, and if there aren't any postponements our 5,000th League game will be away at Gillingham. FGR away on the final day is not ideal if there's something at stake. Donny on Boxing Day might be tasty.

Might get myself down for the Bradford game!

Gillingham is our 5000 game?  That's my local match, so I'll have to make my way over!

Sutton away, meh it is what it is!

First home game Grimsby yes please, the lane will be rocking, we still owe them one from the play offs.

Donny away & Tranmere at home will be hard.. especially with Dennis & Hemmings playing up front for Tranmere, which ones scoring? ????

August looks a tough month for us, back us to beat anyone on our day.. 

September on paper looks a very favourable month.

Mansfield at home on the 14th October, I'm going to see a band called The Sherlocks in the evening at Rock City has the makings of a decent Saturday night that! 

Wrexham at home 28th October will be tasty. 

Donny round at the lane for Boxing day. 

New years day away at Tranmere.

Mansfield away on 3rd Feb. 

Finishing away FGR, not the greatest but hey ho!

 

And we're back!

Thought Harrogate was on my birthday but was a month too early ????

The start is promising and there’s an opportunity to build momentum early on if the results go our way. The Tranmere game will be a good opportunity to start strong. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the release of the fixtures.

Lincoln at home in the Carabao Cup, will have abit of that! 

its a decent set of opening fixtures, its not too hard on paper and gives notts some chance to build momentum. if we start off brightly, notts could really push forward but after being in the national league and with this squad, i dont think we should fear any team.

Sutton away isn’t a bad start to the season; it will be good for Will Randall to get this one out of the way early on. I have confidence that we can get off to a bright start.

The fixture release seems fine to me; no real concerns. A decent start; some can moan about the games being boring or whatever, but this will disappear if we get off to a good start.

I don’t dwell too much on the fixtures, as I think the players will be happy to get the new season underway and will look at what we have been handed feeling positive. I had wished we could start the season off at home, but that’s wishful thinking and more hope. I don’t mind that it begins with an away game at Sutton; it’s a fairly routine trip. I see no real negatives to point out; there are a few difficult journeys on certain days but that’s to be expected.

I am hoping we will get through them without much problem; picking up the points is the aim of the game. Tough or difficult starts on paper aren’t something to worry too much about. I think we should be able to make a promising start if we work hard enough.

I’m not tooo bothered about who we play or when I’m just really pleased to be playing back in the league again.

Here, here! ????

Quite a balanced set of fixtures, but even if it wasn’t, there’s not much that can be done about it. You have to just get on with them and hope the squad is prepared enough to pick up the points to make a good start or pick them up eventually enough to do well.

I was at the cemetery at Wilford when Kate told me that the fixtures had been released.

I didn't look at them until I returned home, so I can't say I am too fussed or bothered about who we play. I think mentally football teams just need to prepare, what goes into the training and coaching beforehand are the important parts. If a team believes it can win, has the support of the fans then that is the main thing.

Notts should feel quite capable of doing well regardless of who we play.

t’s interesting that we’ve been given our first away day against Will Randall’s former club. I think it will be good for him to get it out of the way and I would start him. Let’s see what he can do and hope we can get the result; a win on the opening day would be nice, but I have no complaints. The fixtures look good to me!
