The Evo-Stik League fixtures were released this morning and Stafford Rangers could well attract their biggest home gate of the season on the opening day. Well-supported FC United of Manchester will be the visitors to Marston Road on Saturday 13th August. Two away fixtures of particular interest to me are the ones at Nantwich Town and Whitby Town, and the dates have turned out to be kind. Rangers visit Nantwich on Boxing Day and Whitby on Easter Saturday.
