They're a mid-table League 1 side, if we are playing them any time soon, I'll be worried.

Blackburn or Wednesday, but knowing our luck it'll be something really mouthwatering like Huddersfield or Rotherham.

Someone away with a huge allocation please.

Barnsley.

I remember going there in the FA Cup. It was really nice when we left Cheltenham but pissed it down in their open away end all afternoon. Rounded off with some pavement dancing racists getting a clump as we tried to get back on the coach.

Last time we were in this division,Blues was about the second home game at the tail end of August.However,I suspect we will find ourselves at the tip around about October.

I think we'll be somewhere potentially interesting for the camera's...Saturday afternoon 1245...Away at Forest...or Wigan.Which will be a bind as I'm on my hols,and they are two of the Awaydays I'd promised myself and son.So preferably either Wolves,QPR,Cardiff,Ipswich or Naaarwich.No intention of any of doing any of those, please footballing gods.

Want: Burton Albion at home - start off with a win as we get used to our new surroundings

Will get: We'll actually start 2 weeks before the rest and get Man Utd away, with the second game Man Utd at home, as Richard Scudamore implements a special dispensation with the FL to ensure the Special Ones get their customary 6 points a season from us

Quite a few people on this thread have sneered at Huddersfield as an example of the shitness that we are going to have to endure.  So I just thought I'd mention that Huddersfield were Football League champions three seasons running (in the 1920s) and that for the coming season, by offering season tickets at £179 per adult, have already shifted around 15,000 season tickets.

A new dawn for Villa came on the opening day in 1991 at Hillsborough. Maybe the same again?

And what a spectacular day it was!
