As the start to the new season is almost upon us your support is more important than ever. We hope to see you at Saturday's first game against Eastleigh and thereafter at St James Park for home National League games and cup ties, the first of which is next Tuesday evening when we host Blackburn Rovers U21 in the National League Cup.

Moving to the National League brings some changes to the way we need to operate home games. Through the season you will see a number of developments, all of which will improve facilities for supporters. Inevitably some changes could not be completed in time for the first game, some require planning and licensing permission which take time and it is also the case that we are determined to spend scarce funds wisely and so careful planning is important.

Saturday's game will be segregated and new arrangements for segregated games are not complete. Consequently, for this first league fixture home supporters will have exclusive use of The Venue and we will also open The Cabin with its bar facility for home fans - both open from midday. Away supporters will enter the ground at the Cricket Ground End and will have use of the FanZone for refreshments.

We look forward to welcoming home supporters and away visitors to St James Park on Saturday. It promises to be an historic day for our club as the first fixture at Step 1.
