Derby at home to start, West Ham follows
Derby County at home will be our Championship opening game on Saturday, 15th August. We then a week later head to West Ham at the London Stadium.
Millwall away is pre-Christmas on December 19th and then Southampton visit The Valley on Boxing Day. Let us hope they don’t give us the gift they gave us last season.
West Ham at home is on March 2nd, a Tuesday night and Millwall are at The Valley on April 3rd.
The start after West Ham is Preston (h), West Brom (a), Stoke (h), QPR (h) and Pompey (h) so not terrible and we end with Wrexham at home before travelling to Lincoln on the final day, May 22nd – much later next season.
The list is still pitted by long midweek away trips to Burnley, Wrexham, and Bolton. And Swansea away on New Year’s Day…. makes no sense.
Then there is an almost 3-week international break just as we get going between September 19th (Cardiff away) and October 10th (Bristol City home).
The draw for the first round of the Carabao Cup takes place later and will be played the week before the season starts on Saturday 8th August.
Don’t you mean the tax payer stadium 😀
Indeed I do. I had to think about the real name.
Hotels booked for opening day and also our trip to the London stadium, glad to see godden in training yesterday he’s looking well coyr
Lovely stuff, Worsley. COYR.
Heard a bad rumour today about lack of investment and Jones walking out a meeting because of that??
I don’t know. Think people are getting nervous that we haven’t signed anyone and all sort of stories are flying about.
Obviously really hope that is not true.
I’m excited and slightly nervous about the season ahead and I really need to cement our place in the Championship and not experience what happened this past season at the end.
All sorts of rumours are spreading about finances and Jones being unhappy….never believe what you read or hear !!!
I’ve been told the renovation of the pitch is going really well and as we don’t play on it until mid August against Derby, it should be tops again.
So strap yourself in….remove any loose items…put up your seat tray…prepare for take off into the unknown again 😃
I was enjoying the break and the World Cup until this week but the anxiety is knocking on the door.
2nd season is possibly harder than 1st season. We have to recruit well.
Clunk click, Chris.
Every trip CA !! 😃
I read through the fixture list and it frightened the life out of me! The Championship looks like a very strong division this year.
