The 2017/18 season of Sky Bet League Two will begin on Saturday 5th August.

 

 

• Replacing the four promoted and two relegated teams from last season are Port Vale, Swindon Town, Coventry City, Chesterfield, Lincoln City and Forest Green Rovers.

• Pre-season managerial changes have already occurred at Swindon Town.

 

Any early predictions?

 

Fixtures will be released next Wednesday.

Opening Fixtures:

 

 

Saturday, 5 August

 

Accrington Stanley v Colchester United

Exeter City v Cambridge United

Forest Green Rovers v Barnet

Luton Town v Yeovil Town

Morecambe v Cheltenham Town

Stevenage v Newport County

Wycombe Wanderers v Lincoln City

 

We have lost a few players from our squad and haven't really brought in anyone new. Not overly optimistic at the moment, though that might change once we get some players in the door. When that happens, hope we can continue to fight at the right end of the table.

Coventry will win the league me thinks.

Luton Town for me - why are Forest Green so low priced?

I am wondering why Forest Green and Lincoln are above Carlisle United in this. :thinking: Bit complicated for me those odds.

 

Anyone going to any games in this league? I am hoping to get to Cambridge on the 12th to see Carlisle play. :cheer:

As I know someone from another site who is quite a big fan of Notts County, with that being his favorite team, I'm going to go with them to win the league for this season.....of course, since I'm across the pond, I won't be making it to get any of their fixtures...

It does seem strange that Forest Green are high up in the odds. I would see them as a 50/1 at least.

How much are tickets to league two games generally? Do you pay at the gate?

For Stevenage on match-day is £21.00 (Seating).

 

 

That's really expensive!

That's really expensive!

 

Tenner for Irish league at the gate!

Disappointing start for Carlisle, hopefully better next week.

I just hope we (Cheltenham) can stay up!

8-2 for Luton Town against Yeovil.

A loss and two wins so far in the league, I am hopeful we can do a Plymouth and go up this season after last season's disappointment.

Looking likely that Paul Tisdale will get a new contract for Exeter City after a fine start to the season.

 

 

Not so great start of the season for Forest Green in their first season in the Football League. Hoping that can be improved.

Chesterfield and Port Vale both sacked their managers following Saturday's matches.
