Morpeth Town manager Stephen Turnbull is hoping for a strong start to the NPL Premier Division campaign, following the release of the fixtures.
With excitement building ahead of the new season, Turnbull is eager for his side to hit the ground running, starting with a home clash with Stafford Rangers on opening day.
That is followed by trips to FC United of Manchester, on the Tuesday night, and Stalybridge Celtic, with a Craik Park double-header versus Bamber Bridge and Atherton Collieries following. A Bank Holiday trip to Whitby Town caps a hectic August for the Highwaymen.
“I’m hoping to get off to a strong start and get momentum going,” Turnbull told the club website.
“We need to use the new pitch and our location up North to make Craik Park a fortress, as it has been for the last couple of years.
“If we are to be successful we have to win our home games. The lads have been excellent in pre-season, apart from the one blip at Consett.
“We will give it everything we’ve got to be successful this season.”
