Yes, it's the moment we've all been waiting for. The League proper starts today (well, technically yesterday with Blackburn and Cardiff drawing one all).

Ipswich v Fulham is the televised Championship game, while the Community Shield between Arsenal and Manchester City is on Sunday. Premier League starts next week of course.

The Carlos Valderrama Conference Premier also kicks off today, with two former League stalwarts (Bristol Rovers and Grimsby) in front of the TV cameras. An unfortunate clerical error seems to have crept into the fixture list as it suggests that Conference North side Chester will be playing Barnet.

FOOTBALL.
