The FA Cup and Trophy fixtures are released this Friday but I’m not sure when the League fixtures are released but probably later this month.
Replays are back in the FA cup this new season

Dropped replays in the FA Trophy which I feel is a good move especially in the early rounds which rarely draw a crowd.

Fixtures out now Redditch Away then no midweek game as we are the odd team as Kings Langley moved leagues followed by Nuneaton at home.

The usual oddities in the Southern League fixtures as we play Nuneaton and Banbury as our 2nd and 3rd fixtures (would have been 3rd and 4th had Kings Langley not switched division), but then not again until 3rd and 4th from the end of the season. Meanwhile we play Stourbridge on 2nd Oct and again on 11 Dec with the Tamworth fixtures one game before the first Stourbridge one and the game after the return Stourbridge fixture.

When all's said and done, it's a bit of luck if you play a team twice fairly close together when they aren't doing so well, but not so good if they're going well.

Usual ridiculous fixtures !
Rushden & Diamonds away on Sat 25th Sept then Tamworth away on the Mon 28th ????
Lowestoft away on Tue 16th Nov and Biggleswade away on Saturday 6th Nov ????
Why do they do this every year why not look at travel distance and time for players and fans.
Sure a lot more fans would have time to travel to Lowestoft and Tamworth on Saturdays rather than midweek.
And Peterboro sports as a bank holiday game instead of Biggleswade !!!!!!

It was ever thus. Back in our Isthmian League days I can remember a midweek fixture at Bognor Regis while playing St. Albans or Bishop's Stortford on a Saturday. I appreciate that you can't please all of the people all of the time, but surely in this age of technology there must be a better way.
