The opening day fixtures for season 2010/11 will be published on the Football Conference web-site www.footballconference.co.uk at 3pm on Thursday 1st July, prior to the fixtures being released generally to member clubs and the media.

All member clubs should be in a position to post their specific club fixtures in the Blue Square Bet Premier, North and South around 4pm the same day. So watch out on www.thediamondsfc.com around then!

It was originally anticipated the release of fixtures would take place on Monday, 5th July but as most football supporters will now have a free World Cup weekend, the Football Conference felt it would be prudent to allow fans the opportunity to have them a few days earlier and to look forward to the new season with relish, rather than bemoan England having already returned home from South Africa.

It promises to be a very competitive season in the Blue Square Bet so log on to www.footballconference.co.uk and www.thediamondsfc.com to be first to know your opening day fixtures for Saturday 14th August.
