SALISBURY City will visit fellow Blue Square Premier newcomers Droylsden on the opening day of the season (Saturday, August 11).

Whites will then host Ebbsfleet (formerly Gravesend & Northfleet) in midweek before entertaining Crawley Town.

The following Saturday sees City head to Yorkshire to take on another of the newly-promoted sides Farsley Celtic.

Manager Nick Holmes said: "It's probably an easier start than we could have had if we'd have been thrust into playing someone like Oxford early on.

"Ironically it'll get two of our longer trips out of the way fairly early against the two sides who came up from the Conference North.

"Gravesend finished the season well and that'll be a good test for us."
