WILTSHIRE football supporters will be well used to the route to Bideford by the time the football season gets under way.

Andy King's Swindon Town side visit Bideford for a pre-season friendly on July 21 but there will be rather more at stake when Swindon Supermarine make the trip to the same venue for an FA Cup preliminary round clash on Saturday August 30.

Devizes Town and Highworth Town must see off Christchurch and Shortwood United respectively in the extra preliminary round before they progress to the same stage as Ray Baverstock's side.

Cirencester Town travel to Yate Town, Bridgwater entertain Corsham Town, Melksham take on Mangotsfield, Highworth will entertain Portland United if they can overcome Shortwood while Devizes' reward for seeing off Christchurch will be a trip to Bitton.

Calne go to either Chard or Paulton Rovers while Fairford travel to Backwell United.

In the FA Trophy first round, Swindon Supermarine entertain Grantham Town while Cirencester go to Redditch United (both games Saturday November 1).

In the FA Vase second qualifying round Corsham face Highworth, Melksham go to Westbury, Downtown entertain Calne, Bemerton Heath Harlequins will play Wootton Bassett Town while Bridport face Fairford (all games Saturday September 20).
