bit disappointed that chester and wrexham away are tuesday night games

I know it's early but I remember somebody sharing how we could set up the fixture calender on our mobiles using Chrome or something. If or when that becomes available can somebody do the same again as I found it to be very useful!

Away on Boxing day again. :-/

Looks like I'll have to by a season ticket now just for a chance of Guiseley away !
tranmere away last game of the season and finally Lincoln and Halifax away on Saturdays these look like fantastic away games for us and I can see us taking 1000s to all of them.

Great first game to have, think we can get that rocking!

Hopefully perfect last away game and we can sing the: "you laughed at us when we went down, who the fudge is laughing now!" Or some variation of that!

Concerned with Gateshead away being in January, that means it will probablly be played in April. And is it looking likely or possible that first designated Harry game will be at home to Forest Green? Forgot the exact date but would be around that time wouldn't it?

Barrow away on a bloody Tuesday evening too.

Not long for Andy Cook to wait for his BP return though.

Guiseley away on boxing Day! Halifax away on a Saturday as well is nice.

Disappointed with those. The London games I tend to go to are mostly when I am away. Looks like Borehamwood will be my first game once I have located it in Google Maps.

Head to Barnet, then you're only a few miles away. ;)

5th March could be spicy - my birthday weekend too!

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

As a fellow resident of West Yorkshire I am delighted with Halifax on a Saturday but expect to be back in GY over Christmas so that is the worst possible date for Guiseley away (about 10 mins from my house ffs)!

FGR away on a sat is a bit of a surprise . Thought it'd be on a tues for def

.

Indeed, anyone know how many the Guiseley away end holds?

I would have liked Halifax away to be a Tuesday night as it is fairly close and Barrow on a Saturday, but you can't have it all I suppose.

Quoted from pizzzza

Indeed, anyone know how many the Guiseley away end holds?

Well, there is no 'away' end. Two seated stands down one side, two covered terraces down the other and two uncovered, flat ends. Capacity of 3,000 so the club would probably be given 1,000 to 1,500

I get back from Honeymoon day before Chester away then Southport and Wrexham also in September, I will already be choosing town over the wife .... Start as I mean to go on!

Shame we couldn't go back to Lincoln on Boxing Day/2 January whilst Halifax play Guiseley. Bet Gateshead are happy their festive 'derby' is against Barrow!?!

Tranmere away final game of the season, hopefully will be happier occasion than our last visit there on the final game of the season!

It looks like they have had the good sense to play most of the midweek games before Christmas too

Halifax away is a Saturday in February so I doubt it'll be played on a Saturday due to their pitch.

Ironic that Chester and Tranmere are drawn away and home on alternate weeks in September and the two final Saturdays together home and away be interesting.

A long wait for Harry to invade FGR.

I hope Chester get organised fill ALL SEATS BEHIND THE GOAL and get some more fecking turnstiles in operation for that side stand this time

Quoted from grimps

Don't worry there will be plenty of mid-week games after Xmas once we get a little rain and the FA Trophy gets underway.

The FGR away will be moved to a Tuesday night conspiracy theory was as accurate as most!

Good set of fixtures (looks like we play everyone twice), couldn't really care less what order they're in - win 30 of them and we go up. Simple ;)

Quoted from grimps

Which is what happened last season too. I dont think there was a scheduled midweek game after Christmas last season

Anyone else surprised at Lincoln Away being a Saturday?? Surely this will be an early KO??

Quoted from switcha

Guessing that Lincoln requested again they didn't play us on Boxing Day/New Year.

If so it's absolutely ridiculous. Us/Lincoln and Halifax/Guiseley are perfectly located for quick and easy travel to suit fans.

Looks a tough start for Tranmere with Woking (h), Gateshead (a) and Braintree (a) to start. Should be fully integrated into life in non-league by the end of those three!

Tranmere away last game of the season, Christ I hope that's a dead rubber. I don't think I'd cope with that again.

Quoted from pontoonlew

End of the season looks like the toughest run of games we have. Just need to make sure we're 20 points clear by Christmas......

Braintree away on a Saturday, oh bliss !

See you there (knight)

Finally starting to feel like football season again, proper buzz off just the fixtures being announced. Cant wait for the season!

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Guiseley away on boxing Day! Halifax away on a Saturday as well is nice.

What is Lincoln's problem? Guiseley away on Boxing Day is sh*t.

#miffed

Guiseley's ground is less than 5 miles from my front door so works perfectly for me! At the in-laws on Christmas Day then away home early Boxing Day and out for a few pints before the match. Lovely stuff.

Gutted about Guiseley - 5 mins from my house and I can't go - it's also a bad idea as Guiseley's ground won't be able to contain the Town fans it really is tiny.

Anyhow good start to the season no tricky fixtures bar Lincoln until we get to the inevitable TV match against Lincoln. Hopefully we'll be top and flying by then.

I will help you flood the pitch the day before if you like.

edit - just realised that would be Christmas Day! Perhaps a few days before...

Great time to play Lincoln too, they've got a very hard start.

I wonder how many tickets we'll get for Guiseley. The ground only holds 3000 in total!

I'm gutted about the Guiseley fixture too. Living in Leeds it's my closest away game and I'll be back in Grimsby with the family then!

Also share concerns about Town fans getting tickets. I've been to their ground plenty of times and I'm surprised it can hold as many as 3,000.

It's a nice, family run club, but the areas behind the goals are completely flat (and tiny)! And the two 'sheds' down one side are proper old school

I don't know what the ground requirements are to be in the Conference these days but Guiseley must be scraping it!

Have you moved house in the last couple of hours, you was only 2 mins from Guiseleys ground on another thread earlier, or is this 5 mins the long way round via the pub ? ;)

Quoted from Les Brechin

Guiseley averaged 564 last season with 964 as their highest.

According to this article in Oct 2014, they are looking to increase capacity from 3004 to 4,000 - Click >> [url=http://www.wharfedaleobserver.co.uk/news/11524245.Guiseley_FC_proposals_for_stadium_improvements/]Guiseley FC proposals for stadium improvements[/url]

Quoted from Yorkshire Post | Posted 12th May 2015

“It is not just the community building plans; we need to get the ground improvements right.

“The portakabins are leaking badly (unsure) and we need to replace them and need to be seen as the semi-professional club we are.

“We have a few portakabins and share a cricket club. The concept of having Grimsby Town or Bristol Rovers and Tranmere here is quite embarrassing.

“We would have to get an A-grade by March 31. That is less than a year away and we haven’t got planning permission yet.

"Guiseley Chairman - Phil Rogerson"

Quoted from Grimal

;) Yeah depends how drunk I am.

On a serious note this is a seriously rubbish decision by the league - Guiseley will probably have roughly 1000 fans for boxing day (they may well have a few more if Leeds and Bradford are away). It leaves 2k for us which I suspect we could be taking a fair few more if we are top.

On a slightly different note there seems to be a fair number of Leeds based mariners on this thread. For the BT sports game is it worth all trying to meet in a pub and arranging with a landlord for them to show the game?

Am Leeds based aswell, going back to Grimsby for Christmas which is annoying as far as the Guiseley game goes.

FCUM away at Bratfud PA on Boxing Day too. WYP will be busy.

Generally disappointed. Away first game as always it seems. Away final game (and a tough one in a horrible place on the opposite coast), away in a tiny ground on Boxing Day and a hard looking run in! Could have been much kinder.
Anyway, I'm sure well sweep all and sundry aside effortlessly!

Since we've been at this level our first games have been, away, home, away, home, away. This is the first time we've been away for the first game 2 seasons on the trot.

I doubt the fixture list will resemble anything like it does at the moment after BT have decided their televised games. Also matches being rearranged due to Trophy and F.A Cup commitments.

I did say 'it seems'.
Away 4 times out of 6 on opening day. Seems a bit unfair that we should be away first game, away last game and away Boxing Day.
