Can’t wait for tomorrow. The first match of the season is always eagerly awaited. The Supporters Bus will be buzzing with anticipation.

I’ve heard from a Tamworth source that advance ticket sales have been good. After 14 games undefeated at the end of last season under new manager Andy Peaks, the Tamworth supporters are expecting great things this season. They are one of the better supported clubs in this league and they will be thinking that this could be their year. This match is sure to be a close contest which could go either way.

I’m guessing that Tamworth, Coalville and Rushall, will emerge as our main challengers. After a poor season last year I expect Nuneaton and Bromsgrove to do much better. Promoted Bedford Town may be the dark horses like Coleshill were last season. Hednesford , Rushden, Royston, Alvechurch, Leiston and Stourbridge all finished in the top half of the table last season. Mickleover may also have a say and Mark Clifford has worked hard to bring in some good signings for Basford.

As we are new in this league we won’t really know the difficult grounds to go to so it’s going to be an interesting season. What we do know is that we have a vey strong squad that should be able to compete successfully at this level. I’m confident that we can make the playoffs at least, which gives us a fair chance of achieving another promotion.

We don’t know what our team will be. it’s difficult to know who Martin Carruthers will choose and it’s further complicatedly by all players being able to play in different positions. It’s a good job too because I’ve heard that four players are carrying injuries and are doubtful.

MATCH PREVIEW | Tamworth (A)

The wait is over! We finally get our Southern Premier League Central campaign up and running on Saturday as we travel to face Tamworth, kick-off 3pm.

While the Robins go into what will be our first ever season at step three, Tamworth haven’t been below this level in the last 25 years and in recent seasons progressed as high as the top level of non-league football, now known as the National League, before then dropping into what is now the National League North and then into the SPL Central in 2018.

Last season, they finished in tenth place, 11 points outside the play-off places. Ilkeston boss Martin Carruthers says he can’t wait to get the season under way. He said: “I’m really looking forward to the game. It seems like pre-season has taken forever so we’re really excited. “We’ve got lots of new additions and are looking to gel the side together but competition for places is really fierce and we’re looking forward to hitting the ground running.

“We had a great start at Stamford last year and we’re hoping to replicate that but Tamworth are one of the favourites for the league and a really good club so we couldn’t really have had a tougher start, but you’ve got to play all of these teams so we’ll go there wanting to be solid and giving a good account of ourselves.

“It’s a new league with a lot of new teams for us so it’s a bit of an unknown, but I’ve had a couple of reports on Tamworth already and we know they’re a decent outfit and who their key players are but we’ve got plenty of key players ourselves.

“Some of the players have had a really good pre-season so we’re quietly confident we can go there and start the season with a bang. “It’s a long season. We’ve still got one or two out with little niggles – nothing serious but we’ll manage that. "But it’s great to be in a new league and hopefully it’ll be another successful season.”

After a strong start by Ilkeston, Tamworth gradually turned the tables possession wise but never looked likely to score. Bradley was injured and had to come off.
