Thanks for posting Ned

Nov 7th should be a noisy affair if Bellamy takes the Burnley job.

Bellers move has been pulled at last min Monty

January looks the hardest month of the lot

January looks the hardest month of the lot

It shure does

Didn't expect those as opening fixtures.

Relegated teams playing each other and us getting a Home game, Welsh Derby as well.

Our first game of the season has been moved back to a Monday already.

Three away games over Christmas/ New Year and only one home game.

That'll be tough and expensive for those that travel.

Be even hardy then if he tries to keep his wales job and wales red wall would not be happy.

Just booked flight , will be their first home game Wrexham on the Monday night

Thanks Ned

Bad opening fixture.. no time to get set into rythem of championship.. can imagine the crap will get if we lose to them? Prefer a non entity game like Blackburn. Ect

Or a good time to play them, as new teams/squads try to gel in the early games

Bring it on i say ,but how many fans will stay away from our first fixture on a Monday night ? Excuses will be in early no doubt.

Roma game £17 for me should be a good game before season starts

But who are you to judge if fans make an excuse?
You don’t know everybody’s circumstances.

Hardest month this season is for sure January

Southampton Away
Middlesbrough Home
Wolves Home
West Ham Away
Burnley Away

I look at those games and I struggle to see our mainly League 1 squad getting a result anywhere

London police old bill

As I said, it would be fixed for the Disney documentary, so they can say we visit the Capital and how we get everything and that North Wales is starved of investment.

That's a nice soft August and September to be fair.

Be interesting to see this so called great support from Wrexham

As the last time they visited Ninian Park I was their and Wrexham brought exactly 25 Fans

Nov, Dec, Jan tough, hope we've found our feet by then.

Wales biggest team at home visited by Wales second biggest team, and a North-South divide, that's going to be an interesting game

You'd be surprised how many plastic Wrexham fans there are knocking around in South Wales. Shocked if it's not a full house

They have been taking 4,000 plus to aways lets see how many they bring, they will probably give free tickets away to get numbers

I am hoping for a big crowd,big noise and
3 points,i am sure BBM and the players and fans will be fired up for this game.Bluebirds.
