Ritchie Humphreys has been giving his reaction to the release of League One's fixtures for the 2009/2010 campaign.

The Pools star is currently abroad enjoying some time off before returning to pre season training on 1^st July, but we spoke to him earlier this morning to get his thoughts on the new schedule.

"MK Dons did well last season so we know it will be hard but there are lots of big games to look forward to, that's for sure.

"Norwich is a ground I've not been to as a player or a supporter so I'll look forward to that, Southampton too, though we did go to Charlton in the Carling Cup a couple of years ago.

"Leeds on Boxing Day will be a good fixture for the fans and the players - we're sick of not getting a result there so we'll be hoping it can come this season.

"And it's good that we're not travelling too far at that time of year and we won't need to leave our families to make a trip on Christmas Day.

"We've got some miles to do this year with not that many northern teams in the division but we've been used to that over recent seasons.

"All in all there are some really good games for everyone to look forward to and now the fixtures are released we can start to get excited about things."
