The fixture or fixtures you are looking forward to the most for the 16/17 season, and why?

[blade1889]

Chesterfield home last game of the season.

In true Sheffield United fashion I feel the stage is set for 'his' Bramall Lane return with us in 2nd and needing a win to guarantee promotion. And of course 'he' scores to keep us down.

 

[Didcot Ox]

We are the first ones to Welcome Ched Evans back into football as we are at Home to Chesterfield not bad start.
Scum Home 10th September cant wait!
Home Boxing day v Northampton
Home new yrs eve v Walsall
Home last game v Shrewsbury
I think the computer has been very kind to us. Looking forward to it.

These are hoax ones right? The real ones must come out later in the week

 

[BetterCallSaul]

AFC Wimbledon away on a Tuesday night

 

[LordJord]

I dont understand why we play Peterborough twice before play some teams once. Happy with our festive fixtures. Oxford and Sheffield United away.

 

[RotherhamDale]

Peterborough at home on the first day for the third season running. The fixtures aren't manipulated... honest.

 

[EricSabin]

First game Fleetwood at home - winnable
First away game Charlton - get in
Peterborough away - Tuesday night in October (FFS!!!!!)
Peterborough home - November. (Eh?!)
Boxing Day - Oxford away. Traffic.
NYE - Sheff U away, FFS
Last away game - Bury. Meh.
Last home game - Gills.

Not thrilled with ours.

Got an excuse for when you don't sell out at least!!

Bubble trip should be enough of an excuse, also the fact we don't sell out anywhere ever. Except QPR that one time.

I should be going, but now I'm not sure if I'll be able to depending on uni. Sucks.

Also, Shrewsbury away again first game of the season? Ffs how shite.

Having just glanced through the fixtures, there is literally no fixture for Vale that stands out as exciting for this coming season

Life in league one

 

[Camborne Gills]

A bit meh at the start
Wombles and Rovers in October OK
Charlton on Easter Monday superb

Oxford and Swine both on Tuesdays

The Rob Page Derby. Both grounds will be absolutely bouncing, packed away ends, maybe a few flares/smokebombs.

Ironically, no side considers Vale as exciting either, so it's not just you.

For us, Southend first up should generate quite a bit of interest, so that'll be good. Rest of August looks like it's set up for a decent start, Bury and Swindon at home, followed by Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury away.

Charlton away on Easter Monday looks fun, and last day at Northampton isn't a terrible one either (in terms of distance). Long midweek away trips are less than last season too, Chesterfield being the only one that's a bit annoying. Only one home game in December is a bit shit though, as is being away at Peterborough on boxing day.

 

[womble76]

Bristol rovers away on NYE. Is that for real? Jeeze

Bizarrely, there will be plenty of Vale fans wanting to get one over Page but I can't imagine any of the above happening

Could do worse than a night out in Bristol for new year mate

 

[Lamby]

Shrewsbury away also on a Tuesday night

My comments weren't an attempt to belittle other clubs, I am fully aware of Vale's stature within this division so no need for you to become all offended by it. I was more referring to the lack of any clubs local to us where there is a bit of needle (let's face it we will all miss the Vale-Crewe threads on here), and also those fixtures that can result in a decent weekend away and maybe those fallen 'giants' who sometimes drop to this level for a season giving fans of us little clubs the chance to see our teams play in larger grounds etc

 

[Third Team Lucky]

Both Pish at home and a visit to Sixfingers stadium in the first month, two home games over Xmas / New Year and an Easter awayday in Sarfend. Also the AFC away game is on a work day giving a perfect excuse not to go. Can't grumble at any of that.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Pretty meh fixtures.

AFC Wimbledon at home on the opening day, be interesting to see the sort of following they will bring.

Vale away on Boxing day, probably the standout fixture of the season.

Oxford away on NYD - no thanks. Would have preferred a home game to mix it up.

Dons last game of the season, massive MEH.

Also pissed off that we have Bradford, Coventry and Shrewsbury away all in the last month of the season.

So instead of there being something on those games, no doubt we will be 14th, with our minds on the beach and our followings will take a massive hit.

 

[LS Bantam]

Ours aren't too bad, a good run in, home for the start, Boxing Day and NYE, Rochdale to end. A tough start away wise though, Peterborough, MK, Gills and Millwall first up

 

[Gashead]

The good thing about having Bolton, Sheff Utd etc. on a Tuesday night is that I'm now considering the likes of Vale and Chesterfield as new grounds to visit this season.

I hate League One already.

 

[markpvfc]

Ours aren't to bad, Charlton and Bristol on Saturday's, finish with Fleetwood away so could be a weekend in Blackpool. Only disappointing one is Millwall on a Tuesday.

 

[Agombar stool]

OOOh, we have to play every team twice, home and away at different junctures over the season. Fascinating.

Who'd have thought it eh?

We have to go to your sack of shit ground on the opening day though

 

[King Kev]

With all league One teams now confirmed for the 2016/17 season, which fixture are you most looking forward to?

I would say Bolton at home is the first fixture I'll be looking out for.. Nailed on to be moved to a lunchtime kick off but Gigg will be rocking. Have a feeling everyone will turn out for this game, hopefully we get a result. The away game will still be decent but with the Macron being out of town with no pubs nearby it lessens the enjoyment somewhat.

Also will be looking forward to the Bristol Rovers away game.. Not the best ground but if the weathers right it will be a great day out on the piss. Same with Millwall, Charlton and Wimbledon.

Let us hope this is the case and the pigs/owners don't ruin things with a fecking stupid seating idea for the game.

No one is forcing you Joe so dry your eyes fella.

And if its such a hardship, at least you get it out of the way early.

The fixture computer has no sense of fun!
