Darlo Uncovered wroteThought it might be useful to put some dates down as we did last year to save on countless threads of when is this etc.
So if a mod feels worthwhile please sticky this thread.
I have looked back at last summer and obviously as others seen information from Twitter/Websites etc.

We will be starting the season at Heritage Park, moving to Blackwell Meadows at some point once it is brought up to standard for the League we are in...
Some tasty friendlies there, looking forward to the Sunderland game, as last year, I hope SAFC bring the 1st team...
All in all I expect us to be around the Play-Offs, when we get back to Blackwell Meadows it could be make or break for our season
