I note Sunderland away is a midweek game although we used to have that in the prem aswell.

Norwich away on Easter Friday!

There is also something strange where once you have a team midweek for one fixture, the reverse is always midweek as well.

Sunderland and Preston this season, Huddersfield last season, etc.

Not sure what day the Colchester game is on. On one screen Sky say it is the Tuesday and then on another screen they say it is the Wednesday.
First screen was wrong it's on the Wednesday

For once that time fixture does me a favour.

I'd rather they give us plenty of notice. At least nobody will have already made transport/accommodation arrangements so it shouldn't be a massive inconvenience.

Watch the bastards move all our away games to ungodly hours...

I can't remember the last time I watched a Saturday 5:30 game properly. It's an absolute shithouse of a time if you have young kids.

That is a tough start to the season.

I agree, Cardiff have improved under Warnock and tend to be a tough away trip for us, and Reading were one of the best teams last season, will have to hope they have a hang over from the Play-off defeat.  And Norwich are another tough team.  I am pleased with our first game though.  Can see Bruce having the lads pumped up for that one!

Something I used to really look forward to.  Then I see the teams we have to play and get a great sense of 'God not again'.

Will Cardiff give us loads of tickets like they did Newcastle?

Huh, it's only our second year with all these teams. Novelty factor is still there.

Are we allowed to post the full fixtures then or are they under embargo until the Argus comes out at 5pm or whatever?

It could have been an easier start, but no combination of fixtures in this league is daunting.

SHA fans predicting they will be top by end of August with their 'easy' start.
