If it's a happy coincidence then great.
Don't like fixing of any sort though.

Why not?
There has to be 'fixing' of sorts throughout the season. So what's your beef with this one?
How on earth can anyone think this is a bag o'shite. We already knew it wasn't going to be a big game/local derby (as the police had requested that), so that immediately ruled about eight teams out. Even without the historical resonance, how can this be so much worse than Coventry or Bristol City or Ipswich?

It'll only serve to make the day that bit more emotional - very fitting.

I'm absolutely thrilled, what dreams are made of.

C'mon the Albion!
Completely agree. We will have gone full circle in that 14 years, from a club possibly on the way out, to a club with a great and very exciting future.
It will be an emotional day alround, especially for friends and family of Albion fans who won't get to see the promised land.

Not when they see that more than 80 per cent of us have voted "Perfect".

A tiny bit of me was asking earlier this morning ... "Is this all that we've achieved? 14 years ago, we were desperate and playing Doncaster Rovers. Today, we have a fixture coming up against ... Doncaster Rovers".
But then I thunk again. Look at what we HAVE achieved in 14 years. And look at what's happened to Donny. August 6th will be a day for all of us - home and away fans - to celebrate.

Could it have been organised thus at the club's request? I suspect not, and given its history of spitting out fixtures redolent with meaning, it's a sign that the fixture computer seems to have a sense of history and occasion.

Very pleased it's Doncaster. Not just the last game at the Goldstone but for me the last Albion game I went to with my dear old Dad.

I think that as it's Donny on Saturday and Gillingham on Tuesday, is just SO SO perfect.
It almost draws a line under our 'fractious' past.

would be good to see the Albion team who played in the historic gameback in 1997 on the pitch at this game

It IS a perfect fixture for opening, and it is a romantic's dream.
But I voted for the second option because I would have been happy with any fixtue except palace.
That load of muck don't deserve a position in a such quality moment of Albion History.
We haven't opened league fixtures at our own stadium in 109 years
