either grimsby or eastleigh for me. get 1 of the big boys out the way at the start of the season before their players gel and hit form.
The harder the opening fixtures the better imo, no complacency from players or management. We will need to perform well and be right up for it from day one. Very happy we have a few tough games rather than those we are "Expected to win".

We play Welling twice by 6th Dec. These 2 games are within 7 days of each other. We play Torquay twice by 1st Jan. These 2 games are within 6 days of each other. Very stange!
