Fixtures released at 10am on Friday. I'm pretty sure our first game will be away given the North Stand redevelopment. Any preferences or predictions?
- First game Newcastle Away
- First home game Brentford
- We will play Coventry between Xmas and New Year.
- Final game Palace home
-
Our first game will be Coventry away. >:(

No to promoted teams on the opening day, or the Jaudi's away.
A crushing win at a stunned Emirates to set our marker down for me.
-
Brighton away
1st Home game - Sunderland
Boxing day (are they going back to traditional dates?) Man City away
Last game - Away Crystal Palace (but we will be resting players as the UCL final is only a few days away ;)
-
We never seem to get Brighton in the warm months.

In fairness, the warm months in the UK is basically May and August.

Brighton away first match then please! 8)
-
Away first game, away to someone fucking horrendous on Boxing Day, away last game is my prediction.
-
In Manchester.
-
If we have to guess, I'll go Ipswich away first up.
-
Can't we just bask in our success for a few months? Move the new season from Christmas to end of summer '27. Let's make it precious.

This is horribly nailed on!
-
Four days of fake fixtures and 'leaks' starting - NOW!
-
I've been told by a very good source that it will be Newcastle away.
-
I’ve seen the fixtures, and we definitely play Aston Villa away.

North Stand is closed for the season. I'll be quite upset if they don't let us have a home game until it's ready...
-
You can't tell me they've just randomly pulled out Sunderland away. Are they serious?
-
I would expect that as we finished fourth in the league we'll be given an easy home game as that seems to be the general rule.
-
Wolves A
oh...

We were down there the day the Blues got relegated about 3 years ago as I remember listening to it on the drive down. Saturday in early May - was glorious including cocktails and beers in a beach bar that afternoon - then match day on the Sunday was about 10 degrees and pissing down. And we lost.
FWIW I’m going Ipswich away - same as the launch of the premier league
