2017-18 Fixtures [Home to Man City - first game]

[JC Footy Genius]

Well, that confirms it a lower mid table finish virtually a nailed on certainty.

Great fixtures for us
Worked out perfectly
A belter of a first home game
Then games we could get points on board
And all the big team fixtures quite spread out
Obviously the last 4 seem hard but who knows, could be safe by then
A big thumbs up from me for our prem league fixture list

Oh btw, I am a super fan so I demand a Chelsea away ticket on Boxing Day!

Well you can't. But you do get to go to Wembley on a cold Tuesday night in mid December.

We'd have taken thousands to Wembley on a weekend in August, and we end up with that. FFS.

Looking at Man City Forum (Blue Moon). Most of them aren't happy playing away at a promoted side first game.

You honestly think we won't sell out either way?

BTW Man United away is after a European game so likely to be mid-week.

What were the other possibilities then?

Seeing the fixtures has got me really excited. Roll on the start of the season.

We will comfortably sell 3,000, yes. But it would have been an absolute binfest for those tickets if the match wasn't on a Tuesday night just before Christmas.

Thanks, my location may have given you a clue. But I know nothing else of any value footie wise apart from the fact that City fans think it's an easy three points.

Reading their forum they like the idea of sunny south coast away game but also think getting a promoted team at home is a bananna skin, haven't read any of them saying they will thump us

 

[Whoislloydy]

I hope all these posts pre 9am have apologised to the OP for mocking his "sauce"

higher mid-table finish, top six, Champions, bottom three?

 

[Notters]

Arrive back 07:15 AM on the 12th, Sky had better not switch this to Friday night

Hope Arsenal away is moved to Friday night, I fly on the Saturday

Don't think there are any Friday night games?

 

[northernseagull]

We'll sell out Wembley any day of the week. Who cares what day - this is going to be epic. On the terraces of wembley for a night time kick off?!!! So excited.

 

[cocamalia]

Those last 4 games remind me of the ones Norwich had lined up with a reasonable buffer - before they sacked Chris Hughton...

Well the first three I shall ignore. As for the latter, still a possibility. We still have to play each side twice, one home and once away.

 

[Frutos]

Just hit me like a brick the challenge we are facing.

Yep.

Since Wigan it's been a case of celebrating and enjoying the fact that we've been promoted...one look at that, and suddenly it's a case of "oh sh*t, we've actually got to play that lot now" combined in my case with "FFS, why did they put the Newcastle away game there when I'll probably be either at home in Sussex or on holiday".

 

[litmanen]

Does anyone know when tickets are for sale? Would want to come and see the home game against Palace.

 

[Notters]

Some winnable games early on though? Could potentially be top of the league going into October
