Pretty sure we will be away first game of the season due to the balloon festival? If it is I'm hoping for a shit away game like Burnley/Rotherham as I'm working till 12 and can't get it off. That or a close one all, Cardiff, Reading will do.

 

[Rammy]

We'll probably get a promoted team at home on the first day for the gazillionth year running (bar that 125 year celebration thing, where I'm sure it would have been)

 

[Madejski]

Anyone know why the season starts so early next year?

We've had games at Home the weekend it's been on - for example, QPR (H) was on the day of the Balloon Fiesta, in our first season back in the Championship.

What date does it start?

Exactly the same weekend as this year 8th/9th august also no new years day game its on the 2nd.

It doesn't start earlier than this year and actually finishes a few days later

 

[JJH]

So it's not any sooner then?

And okay - probably for the best. Most New Years Day attendances are shite due to hangovers, understandably.

Nope and it finishes a little later. I agree new years day games are shit.

First thing ill be looking for is the october fixtures! I come home every year for a couple of weeks around that time and always go to as many games as possible. Hopefully we'll get a decent away day then. Fulham or Brentford would be awesome!

International weekend oct 10th so you will have no game for 2 weeks in the championship

 

[Veggie Legs]

The only game I'll be looking out for is the derby, if there even is one.

 

[MagpieBee]

I'll be looking out for QPR home and away, Fulham home and away mainly. Nighttime games for those would be a plus, we were very lucky with the timing of the Fulham games this season.

If Newcastle come down that would be a fixture I'd dread. First time in my lifetime the teams would ever face each other...

Cheers for that, will have to time it so I avoid that week!

[Third Team Lucky]

Not bothered as long as the possible weekenders away at Brighton and Bristol are in the first 6 weeks or over the Easter weekend. It would be nice to start off with a home match at stadio:mk against one of the 'massive' clubs like Leeds or Newcastle.

[JJH]

Genuinely excited for this now.

Local away day first please!

 

[hodge]

If it were Cardiff first up then high chance we'd be starting the season on sky again

 

[Mr Elmo]

Waiting to see us get the usual promoted side at home.

 

[tiltontrev]

I'm now working on the opening weekend so get a boring home game out of the way, a nice little trip to London in the second weekend would be just dandy :ainsley:

 

[MagpieBee]

Home or away vs Rangers would be awesome.
