Due to be announced on 16 June.
If we can't be home I would like it to be Forest away.

Absolutely not, don't want a promoted team away till they've had a few thumpings. Citeh, Chelsea or Liverpool away before they get in their groove, it's a free hit and we may as well be on the right side of an opening day "shock" result.

Absolutely this. It should be home anyway, we've had 2 out of 3 away since promotion, and the home one was with no fans.

Watford away last year or Stoke away should tell us it's not a good idea to be wishing for a Forest away fixture to start the season. Have that in October/November when promotion feelgood factor has worn off and reality has set in.

Think opening game will be mundane like Southampton or Everton away.

Would be nice to get Man. United at home early as think we'd beat them given they're going to have to make endless signings and have a new manager so they'll have a slow start.

Ideally someone with a new manager/lots of new signings that haven't had a chance to gel as a team yet.

I'll take a wild guess at Leeds away.

The start of the season is the worst possible time to get the promoted teams, just as they're riding the crest of a wave.  You want to get them in deep winter slog, once the shine has gone and they're mired deep in a relegation battle.

We got Bournemouth in 2015 and beat them. That worked out well.

Away to a team that hasn't just been promoted or got a new manager, please. Be typical if the one year we are at home first game is one where I can't go.
