Match One

[NickDRFC]

That was the match when we were 4-0 down after half an hour, Nick Piert played, sorry he turned up

Eddie Howe & James Hayter goalscorers, Brian Stock & John Spicer in midfield for them.

[Upton Rover]

Thought it was normally the 3 that come down play the 3 that came up, unless that has stopped now, and yes I know 4 come up from league 2

never ever been them fixtures

[RobTheRover]

Udders at home.

McCammon to open the scoring. Oh, hang on.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Cardiff at home.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Bumping this is readiness for the fixture release.

Funny feeling we'll get one of the relegated teams, Cardiff, Plymouth or Luton, home or away.

[ncRover]

Reading (H) is my prediction.

It looks a really tasty league this year.

Fancy us to finish above Rotherham for sure. They’ve just lost Humphreys to Port Vale not looking good for them.

[Pancho Regan]

Brad City at home to get us off to a flier & yes, give them their full allocation.

We want full houses.

I planned my holiday assuming the season started on the same weekend as last season, but the buggers have brought it forward a week.
Now I don’t get back until the week after Match 1, so this is definitely not the opener I’m hoping for!

Away at Plymouth would do nicely!

[Fal]

Bolton away, you heard it here first!

[Ldr]

Bolton away, you heard it here first!

Would they turn up this time?

[ravenrover]

Exeter home my guess

[TonySoprano]

Bet it's going to be a relegated club for first match. Probably Cardiff

[Monolith No. 9]

One of the bigger budget/promotion favourites at home, before they’ve had chance to settle into a string of expected results.

I remember Colchester putting 7 past Norwich (away?) on opening day, before Norwich went on to win the title that season - with a quickly replaced manager - if my memory serves.!

Yep. If a team puts 7 past you, go and get their manager. That's what Norwich did, took Paul Lambert off Colchester 10 days after the drubbing, and went on to win the title.

Laughed my cock off at the end of the season. Some bloke stormed on the pitch during that first day hammering, tore up his season ticket and chucked it at Bryan Gunn who was Norwich’s manager. Couldn’t help but think of the growing pains of regret of that ‘fan’ as the season went on and it just got better and better.

[Sod This For a Laugh]

Blackpool home or away and need to cancel the friendly
