In under 48 hours we will know the fixtures for 24/25!
With the new Sky TV deal meaning half of the weekends matches are on TV - and each team on TV at least 20 times - expect lots of fixtures moved about to Fridays, Sundays and Mondays. And we can expect a lot less 3pm Saturday kick offs.
But in a big change all of the TV fixtures up until the FA Cup 3rd Round weekend in January will have been selected beforehand so at least fans can plan ahead for the dates of the fixtures and now have them changed with only 4/5 weeks notice which was an nightmare (I'm not sure how much notice we will get in the 2nd half of the season!)
Overall though who do you want to open up against? Or who do you predict we will get on the opening day?
Who do you want to avoid?
As always I'd like to avoid the newly relegated teams. Burnley, Sheffield United or Luton away could be a tough start!
We literally always seem to start with a team who was already in the Championship with us the previous season so will that pattern stop?
I'm annoyingly at a wedding on the opening day on 10th August so am certain we will get Preston or Blackburn away which I then cannot then attend!
Selfishly I hope we get a fixture moved to Friday or Sunday!
