The Toolstation Northern Counties East Football League is already fielding enquiries from a number of differing parties regarding the release date of fixtures for season 2016/17.

The situation is that we cannot begin fixture planning until the draw for the FA Cup and FA Vase are released by The Football Association in early July and then the release of the fixtures from the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League on July 15th.

Clearly, given the situation, our league fixtures will be released in late July for the season but amended on a monthly basis to cover progression in cup competitions and any postponements through other causes.
