Dario Gradi's Crewe Alexandra will be our first opponents of the new football season.
The two railway towns will go head to head on Saturday 6th August, and then follows a local derby match against neighbours Cheltenham Town. All eyes will be on the 20th August and 3rd March, however, as those are the dates of our derby matches with Oxford United. We play them at The County Ground on Saturday 20th August and away at The Kassam Stadium on Saturday 3rd March. August concludes with a trip to Shrewsbury.
All in all, some good opening fixtures which will test the caliber of Paolo's team and also give a measure of how good Paolo will be as a manger. The final friendlies are being confirmed, so it looks as if things are falling into place.
AUGUST FIXTURES:
Saturday 6th August - Crewe Alexandra (H)
Saturday 13th August - Cheltenham Town (A)
Tuesday 16th August - Dagenham & Redbridge (A)
Saturday 20th August - Oxford United (H)
Saturday 27th August - Shrewsbury Town (A)
In other news, defenders Marlon Broomes and Ellis Deeney (ex-Aston Villa) have been linked with moves to The County Ground.
