Fixture Release

[Luke Imp]

Home to Accrington for us and finish home to Rochdale.

Portsmouth home and away on Tuesday nights...

 

[White Army]

Sunderland home and away both on Tuesday nights, typical. Start at home to Rochdale.

 

[Franchisor]

Away to Bury first game, who knows if that fixture will even go ahead at this point.

 

[Gassy]

Away first and last game - this happens to often while City get both at home is a joke

Had Bolton away 2 years ago on a Tuesday so couldn't come back for it, seems we've got them again on a Tuesday ffs

 

[K-Win]

Early Sunderland away fixture on 17th August to renew our cordial relationship, I see.

Recently we've had flares thrown into family sections, after-game player brawls, Twitter bomb threats and fans assaulting players, so this should be good.

Obviously, they're hoping that many fans will be away on holiday.

Portsmouth home and away on Tuesday nights...

We've also got both MK games on Tuesday nights as well.

Sunderland is on FA Cup weekend, so that'll probably end up a Tuesday night, too.

A local game on Boxing Day...at Oxford.

October, December and January look tricky months.

We have a very good lady's team, if they all decide to self identify we may have a match.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Starting away at St Andrews against Cov. Happy with that we should take a half decent following.

Tbf that is an absolute joke

Usually we get Oxford around New Years day/Boxing Day - as it's our closest game of the season with a 1 1/2 drive

Now we've been given the pleasure of MK away ffs

 

[UTS]

Quite hard to even think about playing games when we have no manager, players, staff, kit, pre-season and a 6-week stay of execution from the courts.

You'll love it, really

 

[Gassy]

You'll love it, really

I might actually spend NYE in London so there is even a chance I'll be there

 

[birkenhead tranny]

happy with rochdale at home local game so should be decent crowd swa swa

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Starting away at St Andrews against Cov. Happy with that we should take a half decent following.

Will be fascinating to see the crowd.

Could be anything from 3000 to 10,000.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Ipswich at home first game.
Should be a decent crowd with a good following from Suffolk.

 

[TractorBoys]

Tough start for us- Burton will fancy themselves at home and we follow that up with Sunderland away.

I'll be going to both; should give us a very early indication of how well prepared we are for L1.

Hopefully we settle ok in August, need a good start to build confidence that hasn’t been there for a while!

Do league 1 have TV games most weekends? Can imagine sky looking at the second game

Sky tend to use most of their League One quota in the second half of the season, so there are quite a few blank weekends in the first half if memory serves.

Having said that they will definitely throw in a couple of early Ipswich games as they tend to look for big fixtures, especially involving interesting teams new to this level. I'll be very surprised if Ipswich v Sunderland isn't picked.

 

[Reaper]

Disappointed with our fixtures especially Tues night ones.

Ipswich and Sunderland away night games so that's a night out round Newcastle out the window.

Wimbledon away first game and you only get around 700 tickets, bit meh.

At least Donny and Lincoln are all Saturday games and we finish off with Sunderland at home which might turn out to be a big game.

Love an end-of-season relegation six pointer

 

[Boz]

Grounds I was hoping to do for the first time were Burton and Rotherham, but like our last encounter the trip to Burton is on Boxing Day and a no-no for me as a result. Disappointed both Sunderland games midweek, while the midweekers with Bristol Rovers are daft for travelling fans. Ipswich home mid January so any damage Norwood inflicts won’t be fatal

 

[Camborne Gills]

Bristol away on a Tuesday again, thanks for nothing!!!!

 

[GodsGift]

Lincoln's away game at Blackpool in September to be moved on police advice as PNE are at home on the same day.

Not confirmed yet but suggestion is it'll be moved to the Friday or Sunday.

Seems strange given the distance between Blackpool and Preston. I know stewards are often paired to clubs but with Blackpool being 15 miles from Preston I would have thought both could play at home on the same day.

It would be more understandable in Sheffield or Manchester etc...

Police are obviously wary of the hordes of Lincoln fans!

Nah, in all seriousness, PNE and Blackpool (and AFC Fylde actually) played at home on the same day on two or three occasions last season and it wasn't an issue. Obviously different this coming season with the Blackpool fans returning from their boycott.

 

[Luke Imp]

I'm assuming we don't have midweek games either side of it then.

Nope, and neither do Blackpool. Unless there's a cup game (Checkatrade) scheduled for that week?

 

[Luke Imp]

Now confirmed that the Blackpool game will be changed on the OS, but discussions over a day.

Shrewsbury and Rotherham home games are now Friday nights.

 

[Luke Imp]

Just checked and our Shrewsbury move is the one before away at Portsmouth on the Tuesday and the Rotherham one before a midweek trip to MK so they've obviously been moved with them in mind.
