Personally I want anyone away from home, Middlesbrough or Sunderland would be good just to get rid of one of the horribly long treks out of the way early

Definitely want a home game last day of the season though

[Silver Fox]

Personal reasons want (A) on day one I think, unless we get moved to the Sunday for telly? If it works like that anyone but Fulham would be fine

I predict we will get one of the teams listed, either at Home or Away

[Brum Royal]

From memory, discussions over previous fixtures have suggested the police won't put local derbies on the important days of the season (first game, last game, Boxing Day etc) so it's unlikely to be any of QPR, Brentford or Fulham based on that.

[The Informant]

Millwall Home or away

[CountryRoyal]

Someone at home I'd think.

[Glory Boy]

Yeah .Millwall mate.

[Oilroyal]

Second season under Stam we'll be harder to beat than last time out. Not many will want a trip to the Mad Stad so a home fixture please

[LWJ]

Leeds away - Would love to see their meLOLtdown when we take 200 there on a sunny Saturday at the beginning of August

[Gunny Fishcake]

Wolves W*nkers home, get it out of the way with a thumping win

[NewCorkSeth]

Fulham away? Get that loss over and done with.

[CountryRoyal]

Fulham away? Get that loss over and done with.

No reason why it should be a loss - unless I'm due a whoosh.

Would be good though for another sunny Fulham sesh - with less on the line than the playoffs too.

They are the best footballing team in the country.. Well maybe a toss up between them and Brighton.

[From Despair To Where?]

First game Burton (A)

[No Fixed Abode]

Why do the football league fixtures come out a week later than the Premier League?

[TBM]

Just inside info that the first game is home v Birmingham

[Nameless]

Why do the football league fixtures come out a week later than the Premier League?

To avoid overshadowing the release of the PL FIXTURES

2.Barnsley
3.Birmingham City

Who sets this rule? The Premier League or EFL?
