The amount of miles we're saving next season is magnificent. Replacing Wigan, Hull and Charlton with Rotherham, Coventry (Birmingham) and Wycombe saves a good chunk of travelling time. Not to mention Watford coming down, which is just a 30 minute drive for me. This truly does look lovely!

If any aways have to be behind closed doors, then hopefuly they'll be the joyless chores of aways (Blackburn, Stoke etc)

It's funny because I'm gutted Wigan have gone down and hoped geographically that Fleetwood would win the play offs.

Me too.
It's the games in the north west and Yorkshire I travel down from Scotland for.
After Preston, Wigan is the easiest and quickest to get to.

My favourites are:
- Preston - easy to get to, and I always to go St Gregory's Social Club before the match (5 mins walk from ground, cheap parking, away fans welcome, nice atmosphere, good prices on food and drink).
- Burnley - proper traditional throw-back ground, nearby cricket ground has good food (mega portions) plus drink at very good prices plus cheap parking.
- Huddersfield - always been nice weather, plenty of watering holes, & a traditional ice-cream/confectioners shop between pub and ground.

I'd love Fleetwood, Blackpool and Carlisle to be in the Championship!

Echo that, but must admit the insider info on good places to go from Rosco Bosco is tempting me to try and coordinate a trip north to see the game and go onto relatives next season!

The best thing about Northern away days are the prices of everything around the area. Prime example is the chip shop I found in Hull last season that cost just £2 for a large meal! However the saving in petrol from not having so many long trips more than makes up for losing the Northern grounds haha!

My closest game will be the match at Bristol City and that is 2 hours from Plymouth. However, the good news is I have met a couple of Cornish QPR fans so along with my son we can all share a car.

Looking forward to the new season already. Common you R's

Fixtures confirmed to be released next Friday, 21 August.

Also confirmed is the EFL Cup is going ahead, with the first 4 rounds all taking place in September!

It will be Saturday/midweek/Saturday/midweek for a good chunk of this upcoming season!

Also there will be no FA Cup replays, with prize money halved.

In my view they should have done a season without the cups, to make us look forward to them and appreciate them when they returned.

Rather than squeezing them into a season that is already going to be packed. It will see them treated with even more disdain than they currently are.

I dont disagree but I suspect it's the sponsors who dictate and whilst they might be happy to agree to a few changes neither them or the EFL/Premiership clubs would want to cancel the competitions because they are income generators.

I think last season we were guaranteed c.£35k from the sponsors to play in Round 3 of the FA Cup and and because we beat Swansea this increased to £80k. Couple the sponsorship money with any cash should the game be televised and these games become too valuable to give up.
