Well its nearly that time again ! 9am Wednesday is the fixture release date so the big question is who do you want on the first day and home or away ?
Birmingham way for me.

I'd like Charlton away again, only we do them this time.

Mansfield at home, first game
Birmingham home, last game

Birmingham at home first game, as it was 30 years ago in glorious August sunshine. Just as long as we don't go on to finish bottom with only 5 more wins.

Wrexham at home on the opening day would be great

Birmingham at Home.

Which team would you like to gain maximum points from? Stevenage for me.

All of them!

Would rather have them on a Tuesday night. The circus around them irritates me no end. You know they'll be on TV first game of the season without much merit.

Away for the first fixture as we are away on holiday on that Saturday.

Anyone at home and hopefully a win to get the campaign off to a good start.

An away match first always feels a bit like being cheated out of being at the curtain raiser (for those that can’t travel).

Why does it irritate you? There is no reason for an Orient fan to care about Wrexham at all.

Yes, agreed but it’s actually us that will be on TV for the opening day

Just noticed that all the games on the opening Saturday in our division kick off at 5.30 , so maybe we are not on TV
