Pleased to see Wimbledon away nice and early in the season on a Saturday. Their ground is a few miles from my in laws'. Might drag my Fulham supporting father in law along

Shrewsbury and Bristol away midweek, Charlton away when I need to be in Manchester no later than three hours after full time, thanks a bunch fixture computer. At least Peterborough is on a Saturday, in before it's moved to Sunday noon for $ky

Chessie at home last game of season

Let's hope we've already secured our Championship status or else the scene could well be set for you know who

Couldn't be much tougher an away start: Bolton, Millwall, Gillingham.

A centre-half or two might come in handy...

 

[blade too long]

The first three games at home look winnable and are possibly MUST winnable if we want a Half decent start as I can't see more than a point from the first three away games.

Got to start assembling a squad.

Of those first 3 away games Bolton first up is probably a good time to play them, get them early before they can find their feet in the division, Millwall I expect I be one of the sides challenging all season for the top two places and we are usually rubbish at Gillingham so they look tough.

I agree home form is crucial for any success we may have.

August
3 home wins + 1away draw = 10 points from 5 games
Would be a good start IMHO

I thoroughly dislike Bolton's ground. It's really, really shit.

Made with breeze blocks and white washed.

Hopefully Bolton give us both tiers.

At least it's an easy one to get to, so we should take 3,000+.

It's one we've not been to for a while and it's a big stadium which makes a change, so it's one of the better first games we could've had if it was going to be away.

Their fans hate it too it's in the middle of nowhere, it would be like us building a ground out near Hathersage

My daughter played cricket st Hathersage last night - beautiful spot.

Off topic / wrong thread - apologies!!

I could cope with that. Hathersage is a lovely part of the world.

Horwich Parkway/Middlebrook Retail Park is not.

Not exactly accessible though, I am sure the Moors around The Makron are blooming at the moment too.

 

[Booker4]

Not the start we wanted, but I'd rather Bolton than one of the promoted teams, the the momentum that they carry from the previous season. Bolton are the opposite, but do seem to be linked with decent players.

Lived down here 12 years and in that time there has only been one away game at Peterborough on a Saturday... That one was called off a couple of hours before kick off due to a frozen pitch!

The day in the pub was a lot better than the re-arranged fixture

Yes I would take it as well.

 

[St Annington]

Bolton haven't released their 16/17 home kit yet, but we know it will probably be White/Blue/Blue.
Blades to wear Home kit? I hope so.
Ref may not fancy Blue shorts/socks v Black shorts/socks tho.

Do the Antiques Fairs there, I can confirm it's a shithole.

 

[Derby blade]

I always remember the Edwards goal at Bolton back in the 80s we lost 3,1 but that goal took us up, what a friendly atmosphere that game was
