Ebbsfleet United will start the Conference South season three days later than everyone else.

When the fixtures were released on Friday, the Fleet were handed a trip to relegated Salisbury City on the opening day - Saturday, August 9.

But the Wiltshire club were expelled from the Football Conference on financial grounds later that day, leaving Steve Brown's side with a blank opening weekend.

That means Ebbsfleet will now start the new campaign with back-to-back home games, against Concord Rangers on August 12 and Havant & Waterlooville on August 16.

Brown's side will be away to Chelmsford City on Boxing Day and at home to the Clarets on New Year's Day.

This season, the Fleet's local derbies against Bromley have been scheduled for January 24 (home) and March 7 (away).

Ebbsfleet finish at home to Bishop's Stortford on April 25.
