A non-league vice-chairman has dropped a big hint when the new season will start in a post on Twitter.
Hemel Hempstead's Kerry Usherwood predicted that the new campaign would be get under way on September 12.
The governing bodies are yet to determine when the new campaign will begin although many teams are back in training in League One and Two as they await a firm date.
Usherwood Tweeted: "New football season likely to start on Saturday September 12th - not that I know anything particular :-)."
The Premier League and Championship are still in action, of course and the National League play-offs are still to be completed as Notts County chase a return to the Football League,.
They play their semi-final at Meadow Lane on July 25 and will face either Yeovil or Barnet.
The final will take place at Wembley on August 2.
If that September date proves to be correct, then Neal Ardley's side would have just over month to prepare for the new season if they make it through to the play-off final.
A decision as to when the new season will start is expected to be announced later this month.
