Local side Eastleigh will begin their 2017/18 National League season away at Bromley on August 5th after the fixture list was published this morning [5th July].
The Spitfires will then face FA Cup heroes Sutton United at the Silverlake Stadium on the following Tuesday [8th August] before another home tie against Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday 12th August.
