So I'll start off! Opening fixture

Wed May 08, 2019 1:46 pm

Really looking forward to next year! I know the league is not fully formed yet but I'm gonna say STOKE away live on Friday to kick the Championship season off.

Barnsley away as they alway have a promoted side away against a relegated side.

We want a easy fixture list in the first and last 3 games.

A good start is very important
As is the run in at the end

No newly promoted teams for me first as that is when they are strongest with something to prove.

Home to someone like Wigan or QPR would be a good start

I'll go for leeds at home after villa or west brom (don't care which if I'm honest) beat them with a clearly offside goal,that's allowed to stand,reducing players and fans to gibbering wrecks :laughing5: :old: :bluebird:

Luton away. Went there as a young lad on the football special in the early seventies and the game was called off about an hour and a half before kick off so about 50 of us trooped off to watch Spurs v Everton. Never been back.

swansea away

Does anyone know when we last had a derby on opening day vs Swansea/Bristol ?

I agree what thomasblue said about getting a good start and finish with easy fixtures, at the same time we won't truly know what an easy fixture is until the season gets going and teams either struggle or prosper, this league always has a few surprise teams every year, good and bad for example blackburn could end up in the top six and Brentford relegated.

Saying that either Wigan/Leeds home or Luton/Blackburn away like the last time we came down, Friday on TV.

The last SW derby game played kicked off 5.30pm on a Saturday.

Also, the 2010 Derby with chops winner kicked off 5.30pm on a Saturday.

please please please not the Friday night game
took me 7 hours to get to Blackburn and along with many others missed the KO..
Fridays are crap to get anywhere..
Saturday and somewhere like Blackburn /Wigan so everyone can go { big away end } the likes of Luton , Brentford will be murder for tickets..

Re: So I'll start off! Opening fixture

Sat May 11, 2019 5:33 pm

Blackburn at home :D

Re: So I'll start off! Opening fixture

Anyone. Just a home fixture please.

Edited to at least chuck a guess in there...

Boro away. Cos they hate us.
