The Welsh club beat Stags on penalties over the two-legged League Two play-off semi-final to leave Stags heartbroken at the end of last season.

Ironically, Mansfield had begun last season with a 3-0 home win over the Exiles on the opening day.

Amazingly, this is the third time in four seasons the fixture computer has paired them for the first fixture, Stags winning a thriller 3-2 in South Wales on the opening day of 2016/17.

Mansfield’s first home game is against Morecambe with the season ending at home to Crawley Town.

With both Chesterfield and Notts County now down in the National League there are no local derbies to look forward to.

League new boys Salford City make their first ever trip to the One Call Stadium on Tuesday, 22nd October.

Boxing Day sees Stags at home to Port Vale with a New Year’s Day trip to Cambridge United while Good Friday offers a trip to Stevenage with a home game against Exeter City on Easter Monday.

Supporters face no long Tuesday night trips in the first half of the season, the longest being in February to newly-promoted Leyton Orient with midweek jaunts to Oldham in January and Salford City in March.
