Without making a prediction, Andy Dawson says Maltby Main plan to attack the Division and see where it takes them.
“Last season they had a poor end to the season and make no bones about it, that can’t happen,” Dawson told Non League Yorkshire.
“We have to hit the ground running from day one.
“We have a tough start if you look at the fixtures but we have said we’ll come in and give over 110% week in, week out to do what we want to achieve.
“I don’t want to put a position on it but finish as high as possible.
“The club have agreed on that.
“It is a tough Division.
“The two teams who have come up from Division One, Ferriby and Hallam, I would imagine will be top end in the Premier Division.
“For us we have to build a squad that we feel can be up there as well.”
