We have been later and later in announcing them in recent years, and have done so in batches (foreign trip first, then home ones, then away ones), which is really bloody annoying. Every other club seems able to announce them all in one go nice and early, but not us.

Suspect this year we will mostly be BCD based on the trend we are seeing in recent years (since 2022), of playing more and more BCD, as well as playing fewer games against our traditional local non-league opponents and instead playing better quality opposition, plus the fact the pitch preparation is having to be done later this year.

PW has previously said that we are only having one home PSF because of the pitch, which we know is MK. Last year we only had Jersey and Braintree away, with three home and two BCD. Suspect this year will be Spain and MK, plus three or four BCD and just one or two away.

Less chance of picking up knocks, certainly a better preparation for the level we will need to be at, and less expenses for the club than what we used to do, but bullshit for the fans who fancy a nice afternoon or evening out in the sunshine, especially if you are a fan who doesn't go to Jersey or Spain.
