McParland eager for winning start

The Magpies kick-off on August 8 against City, who they beat 3-1 at the end of February. McParland believes a good start to the season in front of their own supporters could be vital. "It is a tough start, but looking at the fixtures it is no tougher than last year. Hopefully we will get a good gate as well because Bradford will bring well over a thousand fans with them," said the Scot. "It is nice to start at home, and hopefully we can get a good win under our belts and kick on from there. "A good start is important because it can really set us up for the season."
