Thanks for the article and full list. Club's format of announcement is terrible.

What’s with the randomness of how the club have shown the fixtures in their media release?

Tuesday in Plymouth is what happens when you can't have a tuesday night in Ipswich....

Blackburn 2nd home game isn't ideal. I worry we won't be fully organised by then - and it will put undue pressure on.

Leeds, Sunderland and Luton away in the first 6 games, with the derby in the mix too, certainly not as easy start which surely puts more pressure on getting things sorted asap.

Fixtures now added to the fixtures section of the site too - other than Luton, which we know is 8 p.m., I've shown the other midweeks at 7:45 for now until times are confirmed.

Certainly will.be moved for sky as there is going to be so many live EFL matches next season, question is when it will be, Friday night? Saturday dinner? Saturday tea? Saturday evening? Sunday? Monday?

Hopefully it will give me a chance of getting a ticket on the home side and seated.

I really have not got the patience to put up with selfish people standing in the away ends now a days.

It'll be much improved if they stick to it. Hopefully they make fans aware of games that are at risk of being moved due to cup involvements too

So annoying. I also miss Sunderland away which I also missed for holidays last time & QPR away which I’d have gone to.

The new manager will barely have his feet under the table by the time Venkys come to town.
He really needs to be appointed ASAP.

Agreed looking at those opening fixtures, we need to appoint asap as well as hoping that Bellamy is putting them through their paces as we speak.

They have 8 games after the last international break, going HAAHAHAH. It's surely a trivial point that the first of those 8 is 3 days before April and the last is 3 days after.

Isn’t the opening weekend one of those that Sky Sports will be showing every game? If so that would suggest there won’t be with the 3pm blackout

Wow that's a tough first set of games.
Just what I thought! No one will relish playing us either but they're probably more keen on facing us early given our situation.
If I was RVN looking at that, surely I'd be more excited to lead a top team in the division out against Leeds, Blackburn etc than sink into the background at man United.
