Fixtures now released on Friday 4th July , plus 30 live matches on BT sport .
Will we be 1st live match on bt sport, but with 30 live matches over the season we will at least be live on TV 3+ hopefully. Reckon they will show us against rovers for sure over Xmas . As in our previous conference seasons, 1/3 of matches are played before December , so we must not allow a slow start we have to go out all firing, so on that basis we need 2 decent strikers signed

True enough - I still can't figure out why they got rid of Ling

Seems like a bit of wait for the fixtures, assuming it's to do with Salisbury dropping out. Won't give the club much time to book up hotels etc (assuming we're not doing day trips to away games this year)

I have always felt that the way the Football League deal with clubs who vastly overspend, spend far more than they can afford and often achieve success off the back of it and in effect "cheat" their way there, should be punished far more severely than just being allowed to enter administration via a CVA and pay their non football related creditors an absolute pittance ... only to "suffer" a measly 10 point deduction is totally inadequate.

I do feel some sympathy for Hereford, who up until a few years ago were a model of a very well run club who regularly turned in a profit in the "Graham Turner years" .... less so for Salisbury though who seem to have become a bit of a serial abuser of the system in terms of their financial misdemeanours.

Personally, I have always been an advocate of immediate relegation for teams who enter administration, because in my opinion they have cheated .... so I guess I fall more in line with the Conference way of dealing with things than the Football League.
Absolutely, agree with both Dutch and CP.

They've set a very good hard-line precident that the Football League would do well to follow.

Obviously its a shame for supporters of Salisbury, but it sends a powerful message to clubs in this division.

A joke league ? Maybe its the way it should be and stop the insanity of clubs overspending. Clubs like Gargoyle and Pompey spending millions they haven't got and carrying on as if it does not matter !!

That link didn't work for me so here's one to the Salisbury website giving details and saying they are looking at legal action against the decision.

Shame about this as it's probably my closest game and a good little ground to visit.

[quote="Jeff"]Time to re-do the travelling distances. We'll be heading to Dartford rather than Salisbury now!

Real pity that. A day out in Dartford or a day out in Salisbury? Difficult one that, South London craphole or beautiful cathedral city.

Always wanted to go to Princes Park and it's another local (ish) game for me to get too. At this rate we could be playing Hyde!!

My prediction -
Winners will be one of Bristol Rovers, Wrexham, Barnet or Grimsby.
Torquay will either just scrape into the play offs or just miss out.
