League starts on Saturday 9th August.
We are yet to be informed about which round we will enter the FA Cup - the draw for which is expected around 1st July - however we expect to be in the Extra Preliminary Round on Saturday 2nd August.

When do players return for pre season training?
Are we still paying for those ridiculous GPS vests for which Mr Disaster lumbered us with a long term contract?

Players return on Tuesday. Will get some pics up on social media.
GPS vests we stopped paying for a year ago.

We have to play extra prelims FA Cup on 2nd August while Corby whom we beat at that stage last season get bye to prelims round on 16th August. Seems a bit unfair. Yet another case of failure being rewarded in this woke world of ours.

It's to do with finishing positions in the league, rather than past performance in the competition.

That's OK then. It means next season we will get a bye to at least 1st qualifying round.
