That is the day that Northampton Town begin their League Two campaign at Sixfields against Mansfield Town.
Hopes will be high of a good season despite the battle against relegation that dominated a rather joyless 2013/14 campaign in which Cobblers' goals were at a premium and a succession of loanees and short-term deals passed through the club's doors.
Chris Wilder has all of his signings in place ahead of the first pre-season friendly, deals done this week for full-backs Evan Horwood and Daniel Alfei completing his plans for the new campaign.
