Michael Ellison feels the Runcorn Linnets overhaul can be key in their hunt for promotion.
The Yellows failed at the playoff stage once again last term, as they were beaten by Stalybridge Celtic. Jon Macken’s side visit the APEC Taxis Stadium on the opening day of the new campaign.
But there has been plenty of work in Cheshire after Runcorn made it double digits for additions over the summer.
Ellison was the last manager to guide Linnets to success in 2018-19, but since then, they have run it close to breaking into step three of the non-league pyramid - losing twice in the final.
