Tasty start.

What a great opening, Charlton away, Portsmouth at home!

Hope they offer away tickets for Charlton to those that bought STs the earliest....

Loads of decent, doable away days in that.

Really good fixtures for once. First month is quality, not lots of travelling over Xmas either.

Exactly. And without being snobby, playing proper football clubs in proper stadiums again.

Both Pompey & Cambridge will bring full allocations and then there’s a bona fide London derby (can’t count Sutton and Daggers for me) then a tasty awayday to a club of Blackpool’s heritage along with a short jaunt to Wycombe who have been a benchmark of how to do things right over the last few seasons.

Friday December 29th away to Wycombe is showing on Sky website as a 3pm ko

We're away to Wycombe in August

First four fixtures are right tough IMO. Could find ourselves struggling a little.

I would have preferred easier matches to start with.

Also noticed we start AND finish with away matches

( cue CEB, time for your nasty sarcastic remark....dont disappoint)

Bolton and Cambridge were two games I was hoping to do that probably aren't possible now, but other than that, can't complain. Blackpool away August 14th is incredible fortune. Up the tower it is.

Bugger , 2 home games whilst I'm on my hols in October , can't complain too much cos the wife's paying for the holiday

I think that's odd! Our money pays for what we do together because it's ours.

Why? Could be a birthday / retirement etc treat where the other half ponies up. Not sure why that’s odd.

I actually think the opposite. Best to take the top teams early and hopefully we’ll be full of confidence and they might be rusty. Tough start but I don’t think we’ll be getting too many easy games this season. Bring it on!

Yes, I don't think we could have had a tougher start .

I'm picturing the scenes now as Bonne scores a last minute winner against his former club to send the 3,000 travelling faithful into raptures.
