GRAVESEND will begin the new Nationwide Conference season with a home match.

The Fleet will play against Exeter City, who held Premiership giants Manchester United to a goalless draw at Old Trafford in last season's FA Cup, at Stonebridge Road in the first round of fixtures on Saturday, August 13.

Fleet's first away game is at newly-promoted Grays Athletic - the runaway Conference South champions- three days later.

Cambridge United, who were relegated from the Football League last season, are the second team to come to Stonebridge Road on August 20.

Boxing Day sees Fleet host Dagenham & Redbridge, with another home game against Crawley Town to follow on New Year's Eve before the return game at Dagenham on January 2.

Fleet end their travels with a trip to Morecambe on April 22, while the final game of the season sees Liam Daish's men entertain Burton Albion on April 29.
