ChippenhamRed Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Villa and Newcastle were always identified as potential sell-outs. Aside from the bank holiday issue, I wonder if having them on consecutive weekends makes that little less likely now - on the basis that some people may have to choose one or the other. Bit of a shame if so. Also with Wigan not the most attractive fixture on the opening day, I wonder if the club might be tempted by my £10 tickets idea to try to fill the ground on day one! Perhaps the high profile fixtures later in the same month makes this less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice table posted by Exiled Ajax tells us that no other team is playing the relegated 3 teams from the Premiership in the first month. Add Burton and Wigan and it is safe to say we easily have the hardest start. 3 hours ago, pongo88 said: Havanatopia where are you? Where's the Wigan Official Match Day thread? Neeeeeeee.

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I can see Burton away being on Sky, first championship home game for them and all that. The only reason not might be that it`s the prem opening weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Not liking the negitive vibe from this thread. I don't care. As a football fan I am absolutely buzzing!! Absolutely delighted we are playing the 3 prem sides in a row. I want to see City go toe to toe with these sort of clubs on a weekly basis. This place would go to meltdown if we ever made it to them prem. Enjoy it for what it is and soak up the occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Why have we been landed with these opening five fixtures? The two automatically promoted League One teams and all three Premier relegated. The pessimist realist in me, tells me that this is about the hardest set of fixtures that we could have had and we will struggle to anything out of them. I would not mind betting that LJ, if he were to make his inner thoughts public, would agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not mind betting that LJ, if he were to make his inner thoughts public, would agree with me. Agree they look as if they could be very tough run of fixtures to start - maybe Hollowhead and Putrid are involved somewhere. I think you underestimate us though. 3 of the games are at Ashton Gate, and with some of the trouncings we handed out towards the end of last season no club will be looking forward to visiting AG. Anything could happen, of course, but providing we strengthen the squad as expected I reckon: Wigan (H) W 3-1. Burton (A) D 1-1, Norwich (A) L 1-3 Newcastle (H) D 0-0 Villa (H) W 2-1 8 points out of 15, which would be a solid start, and would leave us unbeaten at home with Derby and Leeds to follow in September.

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. Similar stat; for the third consecutive season, P'boro' are away to Rochdale for the opening game. Rochdale aint too far from Blackpool is it?

Northern Red Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 To be fair Norwich is a pain in the arse to get to from just about everywhere else in the league, with the exception of Ipswich. Decent chance of some of those early games being on Sky. And even if they aren't, they might well get picked to be shown internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
