Fixtures 23/24

[Winston Biscuit]

opener against a team who will push hard for top 6 then 4 games against teams you would expect to not be pushing for promotion at all

pretty reasonable opening month that!

[paultheroyal]

That would be a tough start to the season.

First game granted - as for the rest, not a chance if we have any form of expectations - you would take that all day long.

[On Strings]

Tough opening fixture, but at least we're at home. I hope we've got some bargain signings lined up!

[YorkshireRoyal99]

Been gifted a decent start to the season. Toughest months on paper look to be April and December.

[Tinpot Royal]

We have Wigan 3 times - is that because we both get the chance to get some points back?

Good spot, looking at Wigan's fixtures they are away to Portsmouth on the 20th April not us

Just seen that, can't figure out who the missing at the mo and which fixture is correct.

[Tinpot Royal]

It's Burton Away on the 20th April, official site just updated it

I think it will be Burton away on the 20th April.

EDIT - Ah confirmed.

[RG30]

Peterborough (H) is the opening game

Told ya

[Winston Biscuit]

Decent start to the season that

Updated Version

Still managed to have Barnsley spelled wrong in December!

[Stranded]

Even Peterborough is a decent start as they could well still be shellshocked after their play-off capitulation.

[NathStPaul]

Clutching at straws. They will be in a far better place than we will be.

Who comes up with these fixture? Saturday 3rd Feb away at Oxford, OK no problem) then Tue 13th Feb away at Fleetwood Not that I will be attending but not nice for traveling supporters. surely those the other way round would have been better, at least away to Carlisle is on a Saturday.

But then Carlisle come to us on a Tuesday night in November, not much fun for them either. Hopefully for them their trips to Pompey, Orient and Charlton are a little better scheduled

They tend to do this with fixtures. They know that Fleetwood won't travel well to us on a midweek or weekend (likely vice versa) but they know that Oxford have a better chance of selling out/having a better following on a weekend than a midweek, also we will probably have a larger crowd for a home weekend fixture rather than midweek. Bumps the crowds up for more local fixtures.

Fleetwood away also in half term (for my lad's school) which may help for those who want a trip away to the northwest coast in that week
