Next season all mapped out ...

With the new Ryman campaign kicking off on Saturday 13 August and the fixtures for next season due out in the middle of July, the FA ratified football’s schedule for 2016-17 at midday on Friday, publishing the round dates for the FA Cup, FA Trophy, FA Youth Cup and everything else from the date of the Champions League final to the FA Women’s Cup final.

After the success of last weekend’s FA Vase and Trophy double header at Wembley when a crowd of 46,781 saw FC Halifax Town lift the latter and Morpeth the former, the experiment dubbed Non-League Finals Day is already booked to be repeated at the national stadium on Sunday 21 May 2017.
