Bollox, one of the best trips last season, but some stupid niece decided she wants to get married on August 5th.
Selfish bitch
Re: Burton away on opening day
Hopefully the weather and the outcome will be better than last October's encounter and there are no conditions placed on purchasing tickets.
Re: Burton away on opening day
It never looks easy when seeing the fixtures, and of course it isn't.
If we can find early form then September offers us an opportunity.
April potentially tough.
Re: Burton away on opening day
Wonder what our allocation will be for Burton.

Just three home games between August Bank Holiday Monday and the weekend between Halloween and then just one in November - it all looks a bit London busish in the first half of the season as you wait ages for a home match and then two come along all at once.
On a more positive note, I shouldn't really read too much into fixtures yet, because the teams we face will have lots of different personnel compared to what they look like now, but those August games don't look too bad to me.
Nice to see us given an attractive looking Boxing Day game as well.

Should be around the 1400 mark on the terrace. Last season we took 1200 partly due to number of qualifying away matches needed to purchase tickets.
Re: Burton away on opening day
Tough start, but a couple of good results could put us right in the mix.
Will be missing the QPR game, and will have to try and negotiate a pass for Fulham :angry:

Always something dodgy about men who don't like football!! Ps. Don't kid yourself. Its a bus! A coach has a plumbed in shunky and wifi. Not a bucket and on old cassette player.
Re: Burton away on opening day
Only rugby clash I can see is Brentford/Georgia on 18 November. Sure all concerned can ensure they can kickoff around the same time
