Fixtures are roughly 2 weeks from being released, who do we all want? Let's see if anyone calls them right.

Opening day- Bristol City (A)
Boxing Day- Stoke City (H)
Final Day- Rotherham United (H)

It’s getting easier to predict the first games in my opinion...

Opening day: Stoke away
Boxing Day: Bolton home
Final Day: Leeds away

Weird feeling knowing that we'll be the first fixture most clubs will be looking out for - I hope we pay these cup finals the respect they deserve.

Given it's the holiday season, I would feel sorry for any team having to head our way for the first game. The M5 is a total car park during the school holidays. The M4's not much better.

It seemed that we used to play Stoke on Boxing Day every year, that's my prediction.

Opening Day - Away at one of the sides coming up would suit me.

A home game would be good on Boxing Day. We get really shit ones recently, like Ipswich and Swansea.

Challenge Cup semis are at Bolton on the weekend of the opening day. So unless Bolton can turn around their pitch/ground in less than 24 hours, they’ll be away which means we’ll be at home. Police don’t let the EFL schedule local derbies on the opening day either so I imagine we’ll get a southern team at home. I’ll predict Ipswich. I hope I’m right as I’m working in London on the opening weekend so an unexciting home game would be perfect.

Don't they keep fixtures fairly logistical for Boxing Day fixtures? Can't see us getting them though on that date SYP would have an absolute meltdown.

One thing I would like are the three relegated teams as early as possible while they are still adjusting to the league. We got Villa and Newcastle in December last time round, by which time they’d got their houses in order and stopped giving away points for fun.

About 10/15 years ago we got Swansea away on Boxing Day so they don't always manage to keep it local.

Can’t say I would give Swansea a second thought tbh, couldn’t care less when we play them lol

We played Villa first game of season after they had just been relegated and didn't play Newcastle till Christmas, we won both games. :whistle:

I do agree though, playing a promoted team first game could be more difficult as team is still on a high and full of confidence.
When we got promoted in 2012 we won two and drew one in our first 3 games.

I seem to remember us having West Brom away a couple of times on Boxing Day too so either stoke or them.
