Just a heads up for those awaiting the fixtures for the forthcoming season. It appears that the National League will announce its fixtures a week later than the usual first Wednesday in July. This has a knock on effect on the leagues below. Instead of the expected release date of July 10th the estimation is now between the 15th and 18th.

No logic in the delay why should the NPL have to wait for National League Northern League dont wait for NPL and composition of leagues are known and finalised The National League haven’t given a reason for the delay. The only explanation I’ve seen is that the league, for some unknown reason, is starting a week later than it has done for years (excluding the pandemic time). The knock on effect is partly due to ground sharing at lower levels. There were a number of clubs ground sharing in the NPL last season at step 4. Clubs prefer to know the landlord club’s fixtures before their own can be properly finalised. This has affected, among other clubs, Billingham Synthonia in the Northern League. The fixtures have been published but Synners are provisional until the Stockton Town fixtures are known. They intend to reverse, where possible, any home games that clash with Stockton home games but can’t confirm anything until 8 days before the start of their season because of the delay. I’m lucky in that I drive to matches but leaving the announcements so late does no favours to those who need to book trains, buses or accommodation. The latest news I’ve seen isn’t so bad. There’s a possibility that the NPL fixtures may be released on 15th July. If this happens, it’s only four days later than usual. Fingers crossed! 🤞

I presume the kick off time for the Blyth away game in September is a mistake as it's a Tuesday and will be an evening match?
