Championship Fixtures 2016/17

[NorthernSoul]

Loads of good pubs not far from the ground, all real ale ones too. Think Wigan has the most Breweries per head than anywhere in the country. So if you like making an away game a day out and having a few drinks and a bite to eat then Wigan is ideal. Great transport links as well being the only place on both the North to South and West to East mainline railway. No doubt cheapest tickets in the league too. Wigan regularly gets voted footballs best away day, won it again this season.

I don't understand the ground is shite bit, I can understand people preferring old grounds like Hillsborough, Elland Road etc have they have a lot of character, that's fair enough. But the DW offers good views so in terms of watching the match, which is what you go into the ground for and facilities at the Stadium are very good too, even have a huge function room for away fans in the away end, holds about 1,000. It's good going to some old famous stadiums but as soon as you're behind a big pole and can't see a thing, no matter how much character a ground has it soon starts to grate on you.

Of the teams coming up and down I've done Wigan, Norwich, Villa already, however Newcastle and Burton are a couple I'll be pencilling in for sure. Toon especially I've waited bloody ages for. Knowing our luck they'll assume the '12:30pm on the final day' fixture that we had at Boro the past two years. Then again, I'll be making a weekend of it anyway.

My favourite away days last season were Huddersfield and Blackburn, will look forward to those again. Looking forward to going to the Perelli stadium for the second time

Never been to the Perelli Stadium, is it one you'd recommend visiting?

Do it. I've never been as well, but it's a new ground, a terrace and we'll take decent numbers up there. Will be a good day.

I reckon Burton will be a reyt away day, allocations aren't that bad either with the looks of it.

There's plenty of decent boozers, a good terrace and it's not far. Pretty perfect.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Thanks guys!

For sure, nice little ground. Did it in pre-season last summer and plenty of pubs

 

[Haillay7]

Yeah, I'll be hoping to get down to Burton as well. I think I've seen it elsewhere so I'm sorry if it's been said but what will the away allocation be for league games?

About 1800

Rumoured leak https://www.docdroid.net/yUt3IuL/champion ship-fixture-list-2016-17.pdf.html

 

[Kilburn Ram]

Newcastle and Brighton away on a Tuesday night.

FFS

There's a 'leak' every year, same as the England squad 'leak' in the build-up to every tournament. Always ends up to be utter bullshit.

Well, someone's gone to a shitload of effort if that's fake.

Mind you, we always play Forest in September usually and that says August.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Birmingham away first game wouldn't be too bad.

 

[Costello]

Likewise, PNE away first day I'd take (if by chance it happened to be true). Didn't end up doing Deepdale last season but would be well up for a Saturday in August trip up.

People have too much time on their hands mate.

 

[TomPNE94]

This happens every single season. Never right.

 

[StevieEvansRedNWhiteArmy]

They're not 'fake' probably just the mock lists they do in lead up to the actual real fixture list.

Saw a bit in Sky Sports news last season talking to the bloke who's in charge, they do a few and then make tweaks for the real thing.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Newcastle on a Tuesday surely they wouldn't do that, would they?

 

[Magic]

Can't see us playing Ipswich on Boxing Day.

 

[SMH]

The list is fake, according to these leaked fixtures we play Ipswich at home on the same day Bolton are at home and we aren't allowed to be at home on the same day as Bolton. Shame that, wouldn't have minded a nice three points off Newcastle to start.

 

[Haillay7]

Prem fixtures have been 'leaked' too now - If it stays as it is I won't be able to get to Burton which is rather gutting.

 

[Dazza]

The Football League have said on Twitter this morning that the list is fake. Whoever came up with that hoax has got far too much time on their hands.

 

[MagpieBee]

Burton: only away end with a terrace in the league, quick and easy to get to on train and cheap aswel.

Did we get relegated...?

 

[Kilburn Ram]

How many more years are Brenford going to be allowed terracing? This will be your third season in the Championship.

Haven't necessarily got a problem with it but all seater stadiums have been around for 20 years now. We we had seat the Popside at Derby just for one or two seasons before moved to Pride Park.

The rules say that once you've had your third season in the 2nd Tier or above, your ground has to be all-seater by the time you have your 4th season.

However, they do make exceptions if there are concrete plans for a new stadium to replace the current one within 5 or so years. As our plans are very developed (the only thing stopping the diggers moving in at the moment is one final CPO, which is all but resolved now) the football league have said we can keep the terraces.

Fingers crossed we should have diggers in by the end of the year.

 

[Nook Terrier]

The list is fake because we play Wigan at home twice

Well that's shite
