The fixtures are out

The good news today is that the fixtures are now out for next season. Our top teams from last season Celtic, they are home to Ross County while Rangers promoted to the second division are at home to Brechin. With our English clubs, Chelsea will be home to Hull while Man UTD are away to Swansea. Man City will take on Newcastle at home while Arsenal take on Aston Villa also at home.The two new teams back into League two is Mansfield Town and Newport County.

Mansfield Town was relegated to the Conference after the 2007/08 Season. They have only been in three seasons with Golden Goals. They were first in our third season of 1986/87 where they finished on a total of 55 goals. The next time that we saw them was in our 1995/96 Season when they ended with their best score of 59 goals. The last time that they played in Golden Goals was back in our 2004/05 Season where they finished on a total of 58 goals.

Newport County have been in in only one season with Golden Goals and that was in our very first season of 1983/84. Newport finished on a total of 68 goals before they were relegated out of the football league. So after a gap of 25 years, they are back and we hope that they will be back on our news sheets too.

The English Prem kick off on the 17th August while the lower leagues on the 3rd August. In Scotland the Scots Prem will start on the 3rd August while the lower leagues start on the 10th August.
