[Albion] Fixtures 23/24 (9.00 AM 15th June)

[horshamite]

There is no logical reason for Brentford v Spurs - agreed.

Harry Kane's first game for Brentford?

 

[JOLovegrove]

It's the United Wolves pick that I would struggle to be able to defend. The most routine 2-0 victory you will see.

Brentford Spurs is at least a London derby, at a place that the big teams normally struggle at. New Spurs manager too.

 

[Henfield One]

Unless I am going blind, the Club have omitted Albion v Liverpool (scheduled for 7th October) from their list of fixtures? This will be on Sunday/Monday 8th/9th anyway because of the Europa League.

Is this not a match that needs to move due to the Europa league on Thursday before

Apologies if fixtures but I predict our kit this year will have green in it, based off of the weird green highlighting of the fixtures graphic and the outline of the title. I may be stretching it a bit but we will see!

Id love the turquoise away colours to end up on the kit somehow

If we get to Carabao Cup quarterfinal, would mean nine (!) games in December.

 

[pasty]

Just gone through the pointless exercise of writing the fixtures onto my Albion calendar. Felt very weird writing “Luton”

 

[Turkey]

FA Cup QF weekend we have Man City and SF weekend we have Chelsea. So could well end up with quite a few re-arranged mid-week games towards the end of the season.

Do we know when Sky will announce the other August TV fixtures?

Do you think Wolves away will sell out or go to general sale? what chances getting a couple of tickets im wondering.

In holiday season, so you may be lucky.

I suspect that there will be an unusually high interest in this one, from people looking to top up their loyalty points total prior to Europa League fixtures.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

15 years ago with Luton at the bottom of Div 4 and us having a rotten start to our Div 3 campaign, I wonder what odds you would have got for that on an opening day top flight match in 2023.

Ask Ivan Toney

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Our run in looks pretty terrible hopefully we have the title sewn up by then.

Edited for RDZ's expectations.

#### I hadnt thought of that. I was thinking being the first away maybe that will bump interest up.

5th July. Can see the Luton being picked and moved from 3pm on the Saturday

They've done a good job of selecting all of the big 6/7 to start the season...

Fri 20:00 Burnley v Man City
Sat 12:30 Arsenal v Forest
Sat 17:30 Newcastle v Villa
Sun 14:00 Brentford v Spurs
Sun 16:30 Chelsea v Liverpool
Mon 20:00 Man Utd v Wolves

From a marketing perspective I can fully understand it as they've got 8 of the Top 9 last season as well as getting Burnleys sole TV appearance out the window early doors.

However, they can then lead internationally with the member of the Top 8 with the smallest fanbase as well as having a nice plucky underdog story.

Plucky underdog will either a) get walloped 4-0 and MOTD will go to town how they're not PL standard etc etc or b) will pick up a 1-0 win and MOTD will say how Brighton were a one season wonder and will struggle without Mac Allister and Caicedo

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Many of them on that list are are. How they sell this crap around the world is a testament to the PL's marketing bods. For the neutral who could possibly fancy watching BHA v Luton, Bournemouth v WHU, Everton v Fulham or Sheffield United v Palace?

But any of us located outside the UK don’t have to put up watching a game we’d rather not as we’re able to watch whatever matches we like as all the rights holders stream every PL game.

Huh? The TV companies have literally chosen their first-weekend fixtures, and the changed times have been published.
