Anyone know if next season starts on the 4th Aug or 11th?

Cheers.
So we could actually start the season with a home game for the first time since Aug 1999 presumably?
I think it's only the gay pride thing that usually stops this and that's normally the first Saturday in August.

Got a bit carried away when I said 3 points, 1 point and Palace losing would be nice though

1 point and Palarse WINNING would be a GOOD start!

 

[Icy Gull]

Swindon away would be a good opener..

 

[dougdeep]

Leeds at home would be fun.

These are our first games of the season since 1999. All of them were away from home.

2000 = Southend United L 0-2
2001 = Cambridge United D 0-0
2002 = Burnley W 3-1
2003 = Oldham Athletic W 2-0
2004 = Reading L 2-3
2005 = Derby County D 1-1
2006 = Rotherham United W 1-0

The record's not bad.

It was. Sadly, Reading equalised ten seconds later.
