I reckon Derby Forest and Newcastle games will get moved.

Derby won't be...they already have Sheff Weds-Leeds at half 12 on the Saturday and then Norwich-Ipswich on the Sunday at 12.

Could be right on the other two and nothing on the weekend of the Bristol City game so that could be moved also.

I think Derby away could get switched to Saturday at 5.30, seeing as Sky are showing PL games that weekend on Friday night, Saturday lunchtime plus two on Sunday.

They have to open it for Blues at least, surely?

Absolutely, that's got to be a 35,000 - 38,000 game at least ? 

Anyway, if it is re-opened, what happens, do all those that had a ST up there for years get first refusal to go back to where they were moved from (for that game only) ?

the problem with opening it for one off games is that you then have to staff it and train staff up etc so I think that the only way they will consider reopening it is if the crowds are consistently high and then they reopen for the remainder of the season. And yes, we were told we would get first refusal on our old seats

I'm expecting Huw Johns to be the commentator for a lot of games next season.

Thank you. Have been asked to give my girlfriend's granddad a Villa fixture list and I thought I may as well wait until the September TV fixtures are announced.

Why does the OS show Friday fixtures at 15.00.

We've been a Championship team for 5 minutes and the league already feels more disorganised.

So out of our first 8 games of the season, 5 are on Sky. More popular than we were in the Premier League.
