Who do you want to be our first opponents of the 2012/2013 season & why?

[SeagullSongs]

I'd like Palace home/away pretty early, so I can accumulate enough loyalty points - won't be able to go to many (if any) away games after mid-September

Peterborough away would be a cracking way to open the season. Will their terrace redevelopment be complete by then?

 

[empire]

Im sure it wont be

 

[patchamalbion]

Charlton or Sheff Wed away

and Cheltenham away in the cup

Yes its been started, which is a shame. Posh away is always one of my favourite fixtures for the terrace alone.

 

[Rogero]

Home or away I really don't care who against as long as it's "winnable".

agreed.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Burnley (away)

That's not who I would want but that's who it will be, personally I would like Wolves at home

I want this as not 100% sure I can make it without cutting a trip short!

 

[DBL]

Would like Ipswich away on a balmy sunny afternoon & to take the missus to the Norfolk Broads for the Sunday.

 

[Philzo-93]

For the League cup, I'd like Crawley at the AMEX. For the league, I'd love Charlton away up first on a nice sunny summer Saturday.

Would want Crawley away to be honest and would want to look forward to Charlton away too!

They haven't even appointed a contractor yet.

okkkkk, my bad. Pretty sure i read somewhere it had been started, Obviously they got that wrong then.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

An away game at some grim distant shithole which I have absolutely no intention of attending, but its bumped to the Friday night game for Sky.

That'd be Middlesbrough then. Or Burnley.

There's an abundance of 'grim distant shitholes' this season, so the odds are you may get part of your wish. As for me? I think Blackburn at home would be a good one. There's no such thing as an easy game, however unless things change, they are in a chaotic mess & I would like to think they are there for the taking. Nothing like having three points from the first game to get the momentum going.

In the League Cup 1st Round, it has to be Crawley at home. Its one of the few fixtures where you could half expect a decent crowd for that round. The interest value in that game would be huge. As long as we stuff them of course!

 

[Originunknown]

PALACE, bring it on

Well seeing as I now cannot make the match unless it's moved for TV, my personal preference is now for Middlesbrough or Hull away.

 

[Addick]

Er, Brighton away would be brilliant........

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I am away 17th August so selfishly hope its away to one of the most northern teams.

 

[Driver8]

Home to Wolves. Guaranteed three points.

 

[severnside gull]

If it's away from home I'd like Wolves so I can go
Home? Sheffield Wednesday - early chance to see the side who are my favourites to "do a Southampton/Norwich" and go straight through the championship to the premier league.

 

[nomoremithras4me]

Anyone at home, get the Amex rocking and hopefully off to a flying start

 

[AMEXican Wave]

Would want Crawley away to be honest and would want to look forward to Charlton away too!

Trouble with that is that with only 1600 tickets available for away support at Crawley, too many will miss out on the match.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

For all those dreaming of Palace at home: dream on.

That game will, for a host of reasons, never be the first match of the season.
