mrevans Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Fixture list due out sometime in June and I wondered what fixture people fancy first? My choice. Millwall home! A nice, quiet, gentle fixture! Or Leeds away, cos I've not been to Elland Road before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that Boro away. May as well start the season with a win. I wouldn't be in any hurry to go to Leeds. What used to a wonderful stadium in the 70's is now a delapidated tip that provides the worst away day experience in all of the Championship.

We lost. I'm only home once a year so hope we are at home to somebody decent. I really lucked out with having Newcastle and Villa at home last year.

bobbyhutchscurlymullet Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Qpr away would be perfect. Going to a britpop festival in good ol London town that weekend so a Saturday afternoon in shepherds Bush would do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally loved the Tuesday night atmosphere last season, had decent grub,nice pint and even though we lost found it far better than several other grounds.

Expect we'll be away but have known us to be home at the same time. In recent years though, FA have always agreed to make sure we are away.

22A Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 The fixtures used to be arranged so that City were away for the fist game in even numbered years and home in odd numbered years. All clubs knew if they were home this year, they'd be away next. When did that system change and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavlin Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Wigan came up as champions of league one last year and we played them at home. So it has to be Sheffield Utd away as the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both i was at a family wedding in Greece and missed both. As for first game i'd like to get one of the far ones out the way. Always better travelling home on a warm summer evening a with a win than a cold damp winter evening with a lose. If last years form is anything to go by that is.

I justvremember it how it was with well manicured lawns outside the ground and pitches where Leeds were playing Liverpool in a Central Lesgue game. Where did you manage to get a nice pint? Presumably in Leeds itself if real ale. Lager or John Smith's doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added bonus of the footie specials bus stop right outside the pub.Had to walk back into town after the game, but hotel was ok, and had a great day in York the following day.Overall, one of the best "aways" last season.

It was enough to cause traffic problems with the Portway being closed. My pal and I decided to walk in from Long Ashton because of it. The Fiesta runs over several days but only one day would possibly clash with a home game at AG but it makes perfect sense for the Old Bill to notify the FA of the dates.
