FIXTURES TO LOOK OUT FOR

Notts County and Yeovil Town dropping out of the EFL will set-up two eye-catching fixtures for Pools next season.

Stockport County were promoted as National League North Champions following a 3-0 win at Nuneaton Borough on the final day of last season in front of a 3,450 strong away following.

Runners-up Chorley came up with Stockport and will face Hartlepool for the first time in a league fixture. The only previous meeting between the sides was a 2-0 FA Cup First Round win for Pools at Chorley in November 1987.
