Fixtures 2016-17 - 6th Aug Derby away - 7th May Villa away

[Guy Fawkes]

Is this likely to be moved too because of bonfire night (a lot of our support may attend that rather than travel down + events that way?) or is that just for home games?

Question is when will we know for sure about Newcastle? I know sky have announced match day 1 but when will they sort August/September

Just after everyone has arranged travel and accommodation for the original fixture date

 

[BBassic]

I heard rumours Sky would be announcing the August TV fixtures today. Which would be bloody lovely of them to be honest. It'd be even more bloody lovely if we weren't one of the teams picked.

Burton away at Forest on the opening day. I'm not sure they could have picked a better fixture if they'd asked. (Derby away I suppose?)

This Saturday - Tuesday game thing is killing attendances. No home games for 3-4 weeks then 2 in 4 days. Continually throughout the season. Hang your head in shame Football League. (Sorry - EFL).

You're right. Absolute crap. No sense to it at all. Especially annoying if for work reasons or whatever else you're not able to get to a game. Nowadays, it often means missing 2 and not seeing a game for 6-8 weeks. And, like you say, the effect on people who pay for matches is huge as it's a big hit all in one go each time.

No real surprises in that list. Was expecting to have to play all those teams.

Ha, Ha I see what you did there.

Great 46 games playing everyone twice I just knew that was gonna happen, typical

 

[trueblue]

Ooh, Leeds are on the tele..........................again!!

(and again, and again......)

Unbelievable. I know they get good ratings (otherwise they wouldn't be on TV all the time) but when you have 2 of the prime contenders for promotion head to head on the opening day it's astonishing they still stick with Leeds.

Can't see us losing in September

I'm delighted at the way those fixtures have fallen. I only miss one game for my holiday over 2 weeks and that is Rotherham on a Tuesday night. Result.

 

[sydney]

why is our last game of the season away again....surely not another season of getting shafted by the bell ends at the f.a ffs.....first and last games away , gert ferked...!!

 

[heathgate]

Do you mean odd because it's twice in a month or odd because they're Welsh and it's called the EFL now?

All of those things... lol...

I'm absolutely gutted.

I'm Albion. She's Newcastle. We're hoping to go away for the weekend for a piss up and football together for a change instead of separately.

Newcastle away is our wedding day.

You can imagine the words coming out of my mouth at present.

Get married at St James Park?

I would reserve judgment on that until we see who is recruited.... all a bit quiet at the moment..although the gaffer has been on hols I guess... so that could be a factor.

Derby away - get one of the tough ones out the way first!

As long as we have completed our transfer business before then

 

[Tekanne]

Get married at St James Park?

Think this is the only option

Had it been home then yes due to the close proximity to Lewes but I suspect this was a date which was fed in to the computer as a non home game. I would be very surprised if it is moved just because its bonfire night.

 

[severnside gull]

4 years running we have finished with an away game?! Not unique but hardly fair surely?
That said on this occasion its better than a home game for me

 

[GOM]

It won't be moved. Sky have already announced the opening weekend fixtures.

Link ?

 

[Ernest]

Link ?

No Link, not sure who they're playing. It's Newcastle, Leeds & Villa's games and will be throughout the season
