Definitely not. WBA, Norwich, Lancashire Derby etc.

Is anyone else more excited for this coming season in the Championship than if we'd been in the PL? I've been gradually losing interest in football in recent years (possibly due to things I don't like about the PL re money, VAR etc). Things can get stale after a while so it'll be nice to play some different teams and hopefully win a few more games. We might even make a signing or two. Crazy stuff!

Do't see where we're getting 40 points from

You had me worried with that - thought I'd got it wrong but it's 3 out of last 5

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:07 am

4 home games in a row in December and 4 away games in a row in April?

Am I reading that correctly?

Oh no ignore, QPR in capitals had me fooled.

Not me. I’d prefer to see Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, etc on the fixture list. Always enjoyed us being a small fish in a big pond.

Fair enough. I won't be upset if we're promoted again, put it that way! But we've had some really fun seasons in the Championship so let's hope for another one!

I quite like the thought of other clubs now looking at our game and thinking ‘ooo tough game that one’ rather than ‘easy 3 points there’.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:11 am

Bit gutted about missing Huddersfield away, we're still on holiday then. I guess quite a lot will be.

Not sure what you are reading - only ones in lower case in last five are Reading, Rotherham and Bristol City. I know QPR is a bit confusing so I've changed that now to QUEENS PARK RANGERS

We’re we on vs Leeds at away in the last promotion season?

6 games out of 7 at home around December?

Big month that.

Tough start too some early derbys.

It’ll be a good gauge of how competitive we’re likely to be.

To be honest I think it’ll be at least a month before we can gauge that.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:17 am

A bit underwhelmed with our fixtures to be honest.

Wish we were away at Blackpool in the sunny month of August, rather than in bad weather.
Preston on a Tuesday night?

Oh well, let's see if the trains are running for a Friday night in Huddersfield.

I think we’ve been live on tv first game before. Leeds 2015 and Sheff Weds in 2000 or 2001. But I’m not sure if they were before other teams had played.

It's a joke that the club hasn't announced anything yet, wouldn't have happened under the previous owner

Preston away on a Tuesday will be well good, especially if we get off to a good start.

Rough calculations I get us being promoted around the 18th March

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:28 am

Tough away start, but we should be able to put points on the board with our home games.

No reason why we can't put points on the board after game 1. All games are very winnable.

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:29 am

I think it’s difficult to predict anything about our start or season in general at the moment. Haven’t got a clue where we’ll be as a squad by the time the season starts.

Could do with some pre season games first too

claretbob · Post by **claretbob** » Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:32 am

The 5 midweek away games all look very doable which is a positive and the Rovers games are not during school holidays. Can’t ask for much more than that.

All games are winnable, but our opening 2 trips to Huddersfield and Watford will tell us a lot about whether we'll find the transition to the Championship easy or not, as I fully expect both those sides to be pushing for the play-off's at worst.

Sheff Wed was 2001 but also live on TV v Bolton at home in 2013

I know dates can move but of the night home games, some are on a Tuesday, some Wednesday or Thursday.
