Newly-promoted Dorking Wanderers were playing in Step 5 just eight years ago.
During that time, their opponents in the opening fixture, Chesterfield, were knocking on the door of the Championship, having reached the League One playoffs during the 2014/15 season.
Wanderers play host to the Spireites, who are looking to playoff disappointment behind them, in a strong test for the newly promoted side.
Moneybags Wrexham will be bitterly disappointed to still be playing National League football this season. The Dragons finished second last time round, before losing in dramatic fashion by 5- 4 against eventual winners Grimsby in the play-offs. Their visitors, Eastleigh finished in 19th spot last season, and have recently announced the arrival of Nigel Atangana from Exeter.
Oldham Athletic’s play their first game in Non-League football, having been relegated from League Two amid ownership chaos.
Since the Latics were relegated, owner Abdallah Lemsagam departed, with local businessman Frank Rothwell taking over the club. For their first game in the division they face a long trip down to Devon to play Torquay United. Their side will be bolstered by the new arrival of former Wealdstone midfielder Charlie Cooper, who links up with the Latics after a successful trial period.
The evening kick off sees fellow relegated side Scunthorpe United host Yeovil in a game that will be broadcast live on BT Sport.
The Iron had a season to forget last time round, accumulating just 26 points in League Two as they were relegated in last place after 72 years in the football league, they’ll hope to have Colin Daniel and Kgosi Ntlhe back from injury in time for Saturday evening, and a debut may be handed to new arrival Marcus Carver, who returns to the non league game after a spell with Hartlepool.
The visitors will be preparing for life without Tom Knowles, who has left Huish Park to join Walsall.
