Having seen the fixtures i think we have a good chance to get at least 11 points on the board while the lads settle into a team before the harder games which is a touch.

Agree, a great chance to get a few points on the board. We were almost safe from relegation last season after those first 7 games & whilst I suspect we won't see a repeat of that, it does give an opportunity to get points on the board early.
Real shame we have Tonbridge both Xmas games - I've not looked in great detail but was expecting Sutton, with Tonbridge facing Dover, but Dover seem to have Eastbourne. I can see the logic in that, it's just disappointing as I don't imagine Tonbridge will bring a shed load of fans to make a bumper Xmas gate.
Just a question now of seeing who we have starting the season.... We know we don't have Dunk & Daly, I read a while back that Finn did something to negate his chances of playing again, other than that, we've no idea! Should find out a few names in the next few days, unless we're waiting for a few preseason games before signing anyone, though you can pretty much guarantee Tutu will be part of it, & unless someone like Gilman comes back or the squad is so strong that Tutu is not guaranteed a start, surely it's time he was made club captain?

Totally agree bt ,Tutu has been loyal & never lets the team down wherever he is asked to play .Would be suprised if we could afford Gilman unless Dover let him go & he is at a loose end. Still not seen where Chris Piper signed can still dream i suppose.

Not red or seen anywhere that Gillman has had his contract renewed with Dover so maybe he will be back.

Not a bad set of fixtures. You've got to play teams twice regardless of dates, so this season is very much one game at a time! Regardless of league position come March, we've still got the Truro away trip late on to look forward too!
On a player note, it seems Harwood has now gone to Thurrock together with Holloway and Aaron Fray! Wes Daly has been confirmed at Basingstoke too.
Think we'll see a few old boys back come Saturday, i've heard Stone, Hockton and Cornielle are training with us at present to name a few!

It's all very Groundhog Season, but if we finish eleventh then job done I guess.

Have just looked it up on the map : Truro away is so far that it is the one must-do fixture as I see it. Mid-April too, have to make a weekend of it. Nice
