Who do you want first game of the season ?
Exeter home or away for me
Exeter away would be a good one. Cambridge away. Reading home or away would almost certainly be the biggest crowd of the day. Looking at the table, I think it's fair to say we are certainly the biggest club in the division.
Burton away, a 15 minute drive for me
I would say Bolton are the biggest club in the division.
they will likely have bigger attendances than us this season.
They've won more silverware - winning the FA cup 4 times
They've spent a total of 73 seasons in the top flight, which is the 12th best of all clubs.
We've only spend 17 seasons total in the top flight, the joint 41st best.
The only thing we beat them on is our ground is slightly larger, if you count the red bit, which will probably be closed anyway.
And Cardiff as a city is bigger than Bolton, but that doesn't seem a sensible metric to me
Only fixture I've any interest is in Blackpool away.
That's for the planned weekend.
As long as its not mid week or Christmas if so season ruined before it starts.🤣
Cambridge got relegated and are in league 2 next season. Looking at it practically, with a long run without a win to end 24/25, I’d say away against the smallest minnow in the division because I don’t want to hear the media saying things like Cardiff’s winless run extends to a dozen matches.
If we’re concerned about playing promoted teams early season then pity help us,it’s a fresh start, a new league and whether we think so or not we are considered one of the big beasts in league one, we either embrace it and hopefully thrive or we get stuck in another season of mediocrity.
Rotherham away - less likely to be flooded this time of year.
I'd like Wimbledon home, rare club to play against, nice sunny day at CCS. Decent away following. Hopefully a good win to get things going.
crazy heat in that stand that day
That's where being a founder of the Football League comes in handy, about half of those seasons came before the Second World War!
If we're both going for promotion I think we'd have higher attendances, if you look at recent seasons where we've both been in the same divisions we've generally had higher attendances
