Aaargh, you bugger Dare to Dream! You've changed it now!! lol
You dont want mwall for first home game,as Its the norm for them cockney w**kers to make a day Of a good turnout on Their first away game wherever.
Reading Away First Game. I hope it's an awful draw, seeing as I'm away the first game of the season. Knowing my luck it'll be chuffing Wigan, Charlton or Brighton.Might be daft but I remember hearing somewhere about promoted teams playing relegated teams first day. Can someone confirm this as truth or b******s?

Can someone confirm this as truth or b******s?It has happened in the past (such as our first game in the Championship in 2008 when we played Derby and Forest played Reading). However if you remember we played Brighton away in 2011 after they had just won League 1. I think that was a different scenario though. I believe that Brighton made a special request to the Football League to play us, due to our association from a few years earlier. It's always seemed to me that promoted teams request their opening fixture where possible and the FL are usually sympathetic to most requests.
Wouldn't mind Ipswich away in one of the early games in August, enjoyed our last few visits there when it was sunny. First game? Hmm, Brighton at home?Last game? Sneaky suspicion it will one of the clubs challenging for promotion such as Leciester.
