Please Sky move Villa to Friday or Sunday! (Selfish I know) Either Newcastle or Villa could well be moved for Sky - there will be interest in their early games in the championship, and maybe we have nice new facilities for the media types to enjoy... Also - will the Cardiff games get moved again - Monday evenings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well I expect Villa to be on Sky a lot as well (along with Leeds) but on that day Newcastle vs Brighton will be seen as the bigger game than us vs Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chivs Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 If we have more than 0 points come September then we can kick on from there. Actually, we have to play all these teams twice so playing 5 promoted/relegated teams in September means we must have an easy rest of season...

RaspberryRed Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 What's the score with offering a season card if you are unable to attend? If it is okay practice then I have a Disabled/Assistant tickets (West Stand) available for the Villa game on the 27th August. Any advice much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Worryingly Newcastle and Villa may still have excellent players that they haven't offloaded yet in August. September would have been ideal imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Premature excitement for a while, forgot to take into account that Sky rules all , that and the FA cup. Was chuffed Villa was a Saturday, one of us will surely make the 4th round (them Probly) , may have to take a holiday when it's played midweek. Burton will be a mare to get tickets. At least Brighton looks like a good weekend away. Even Boxing day, usually in Essex with the inlaws. This year they're in Bristol and we're at Wolves, may have to nip out to the shop for a paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 An interesting fact: including the last few home games of last season we will have played 10 home games on the trot against former FA Cup winners. The sequence will be broken by Brighton when they visit in Nov. Also, the game v Wigan will be the first time the champs of the third tier would have played the champs of the previous season's third tier in the opening fixture since the last time.

ExiledAjax Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I enjoy this guy's work and have linked to him previously. This shows that based on pre-season odds we have a tough first ten games, then an easier run through the autumn, a mixed bag in the spring and, possibly crucially, a comparatively easy April. Large bucket of salt required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 The Experimental 361 guy has done a matrix of fixture difficulty based on bookmakers' odds. Looks like we have a tricky start but a moderately easy run-in. We might need to sit tight and keep the faith with Johnson in the autumn if things are looking grim.

Our 2nd game away to Burton, their first ever Championship game at the ground, we'd better be up for it. All our matches in August are against teams either promoted or relegated (not so bad playing the relegated ones early).
