Guisborough Town
Following the reinstatement of Guisborough to Division 1, two additional league fixtures have appeared:
Saturday 14 /10/17 Guisborough Town v Sunderland RCA
Saturday 03/03/18 Sunderland RCA v Guisborough Town
Guisborough Town
Cheers Keith, I've added them to our fixture list
Two blank Saturdays
so far: September 9 and September 23. In the past, fixtures have been brought forward from later in the season. Presumably, this will happen again this season.
Other teams without a fixture on September 9 are: Billingham Synthonia, Consett, Morpeth, Benfield, North Shields, Shildon, Stockton Town, Team Northumbria, Washington, West Auckland and Whitley Bay.
September 23 can't easily be finalised until after the Vase first qualifying round on September 9.
Forget that last bit
Only one blank up to now. For some reason I thought that RCA are due to play West Auckland on Sept 23 and West have a bye in FA Vase 1QR but RCA are down to play Dunston.
