Southport Haig Avenue 6,008
Spennymoor Town The Brewery Field 4,300
Warrington Town Cantilever Park 3,500
I wouldn't fancy being in Buxton's ground with 5200 keeping me company.
Same with 8200 at Kings Lynn. That would mean our play off SF there was only 1/3rd full. How on earth can that place supposedly hold 2000 more than Aggborough?
If Rushall away is over Christmas I think that could be interesting with a 2,000 capacity.
Looking at the map for next year, these would be my early predictions for the Christmas games:

Oxford v Brackley
King’s Lynn v Needham Market
Peterborough v Leamington
Hereford v Kiddy
Rushall v Alfreton

That being said I only got 2 of the 12 fixtures correct this season, so what do I know. This is the National League after all 🤷‍♂️

You'll do well, the league have moved the "local derby" Christmas/New Year games to Good Friday/Easter Monday.

Either South Shields or Kings Lynn over Christmas.

The NL used our games against Boreham Wood last season as a test run to see how it would work out. It was obviously a disaster so it gets the vote.

This better be a joke. What next, bringing back games on Christmas Day?

You ought to see what is going to happen to the match schedules next season following the new TV deal with the EFL. :shock:

I think the wording re Xmas and Easter was confusing.

My understanding is that the side you play Boxing Day at home, you will face on Good Friday away. And you'll play a different side on NY Day and then face them in a reverse fixture on Easter Monday.

I still prefer the usual format

My take also.

Whatever the format is, to continue not to have a third game at Christmas in a 46 game season would be madness.

It isn’t an issue with the other leagues, and it hasn’t been a problem in years gone by when there were less games played.

The possible make-up of the leagues next season. This may change once the NL board get their hands on it:
