Fixtures out for Stafford Rangers and Chasetown

Boro – who will play in the Premier Division – visit Lancaster City for their first league match on Saturday, August 17.

Fans won’t have long to wait to get down to Marston Road, though, with a home game against Grantham Town following on Tuesday, August 20.

With Hednesford Town having been moved to the Southern League Premier Division Central, there is no obvious derby match for Boro this season.

Instead, they will travel to Nantwich Town on Boxing Day and host Mickleover Sports on New Year’s Day. Their season ends with a long away trip to South Shields on Saturday, April 25.

Chasetown – who will play in Division One South East – visit Frickley Athletic on Saturday, August 17, before hosting Market Drayton Town on Tuesday, August 20.

They visit Sutton Coldfield Town on Boxing Day and host Loughborough Dynamo on New Year’s Day, ending their campaign with a trip to Lincoln United on Saturday, April 25.
