Opening Day fixtures

[fozzie's headband]

Some positive news - at least we won't have to go to Burnley, Bolton or Blackburn on the opening day.

Burnley will entertain Bolton on 3 August, the opening day of the new season as one of six games to mark the Football League's 125th anniversary.

The Clarets' Turf Moor ground hosted games in the inaugural 1888-89 season.

The other Championship fixture is Derby v Blackburn, plus Preston v Wolves and Sheffield United v Notts County in League One, and Hartlepool v Rochdale and Newport v Accrington in League Two.

The full 2013-14 fixture list will be released at 09:00 BST on Wednesday.

That's handy actually, would have been difficult getting cheap train tickets at short notice for those games.

So it can't be:

2nd week of games, so Wigan and 1 other team wont be playing that weekend, probably will be the following Tuesday.

Away to Reading, decent allocation and not too far.
