Who we all hoping for first and last game of the season then?
I'm hoping for Sunderland away first game of the season and Luton at home the last.
No doubt we'll get like barnsley and Blackpool away on Tuesday nights.

Coventry, Portsmouth or Sunderland away would be good for our first game, somewhere where we can take good numbers to.
Having home games on Boxing day and the end of the season would also be preferable.

It would be nice to have a home game but I doubt it will happen due to the balloon fiesta. City will be away on the second weekend because of the balloon fiesta so they will be home on the first weekend, meaning we will be away. Shrewsbury away would be good as we have a bad record against them away so playing them early after the disappointing end to their great season could be a good time especially while they be getting use to a new manager.

Whoever it is, it will be home game to start after the last two starts being away. Unless we’ve asked to be away for some reason. From above are we always away when it’s the balloon festival? Seems a bit unfair to be away three seasons on the trot. But I quite like an away match to start and have been to Scunthorpe and Charlton last two seasons and had a good time.
UTG!

All teams have to play each other home and away. |

Peterborough away, we always seem to play them early on in the season so seems like a solid guess. I'll guess something like P'borough (A), Oxford (H), Luton (A), Fleetwood (H), Plymouth (A).

Sunderland away tues night guaranteed! Having just read EFL website on fixtures they say that they try and ensure local well attended matches are on a Saturday. Conversely we can assume the difficult to attend away games will be midweek. This would be more noticeable to us in comparison to the northern teams who are more concentrated in distribution. Hence the midweek games at Sheffield and Bolton in recent times. So the Sunderland game will have a high possibility of being midweek unless a request is made by the club's. So we're not just unlucky it's how the EFL choose to operate. |

A lot of the big away fixtures this year are on a Saturday, Coventry, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Sunderland, Luton, Barnsley, Wycombe, Oxford ect so at least that’s a positive

Home last game Peterborough yet again though - how many times has this been the first game in recent years?! A fair few times over the years, it’s a tough place to go to aswell. Accrington at home is a nice first home match though. |
