All looking forward to a Tuesday night in Plymouth are we?

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

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:04 am

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

RammyClaret61 · Post by **RammyClaret61** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:04 am

Rovers at home on a Saturday. Please please stay a Saturday.

dandeclaret · Post by **dandeclaret** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:05 am

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.

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:05 am

Wow that's a tough first set of games.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:08 am

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.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:09 am

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.

So much for the news that "all TV coverage for all games up to FA Cup 3rd round will be announced with the fixtures".

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:10 am

Good of the league to give us an extra couple of days to find a manager

Good opening fixture for me, nice and local. UTC

They said that all tv games up to FA Cup 3rd round will be announced before the season kicks off

Sheff Utd away on Boxing Day is a good one.

Plymouth away is a Wednesday, home match is a Tuesday. Not that it makes any difference re. travelling!

I reckon it's only around a 20% chance that the game takes place on that day.

Sky sports app says all TV games will be released within 7 days of today up until the end of September with the remaining TV games up to the 3rd round of the FA cup released before the season starts

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:23 am

Four away games in April. Not ideal at that stage of the season.

dandeclaret · Post by **dandeclaret** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:24 am

I thought it was just me getting a bit old when the official video was released and I couldn't make head nor tails of it, but it seems it's universally missed the spot.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:26 am

Why put a home derby right in the middle of holiday season? I hope that gets moved out or I might not be able to make it.

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

Having made a huge meal of it they'll have to stick to it.

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

That wouldn’t be too bad. I was planning on being away but could bring travel forward.

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.

Is that 4 away games in 17 days at end of October into November? Crazy really especially for travelling supporters.

Does anyone know whether they'll be selling tickets for all home games all at the same time again, like last season?

I was so busy keying them in this morning that I didn't spot this but from 19th October to 5th November we have five games with four of them away.

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.

Imagine going on holiday during the season and then being shocked that you’ll miss a game…

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

I think they are OK to show some. The League One games are kicking off at 5:30 but the League Two games are at 3pm.

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.
