The Pilgrims will come face-to-face with former manager Craig Elliott – and a host of familiar faces – on the opening day at Silverlands.

The Buxton trip is followed by successive home fixtures against newly-promoted duo South Shields and Tamworth.

Eagerly-awaited league fixtures against Scunthorpe United will take place on Saturday October 14 (home) and Saturday January 6 (away) – although both matches are schedule on Emirates FA Cup round dates.

Christmas and New Year will see the Pilgrims heading to King's Lynn Town on Boxing Day – before hosting the return fixture on New Year's Day.

United's last home fixture is against Scarborough Athletic – ahead of a final day trip to Hereford FC.
