I believe that the police might object if a home match clashes with Pride weekend, health and safety, overcrowding and all that. Having said that I’m sure that both our opening matches were against Watford in 2018 (0-2) and 2019 (3-0).
Dunno what if anything clashed with Pride…….but 2020 we were at home (Chelsea), then 2021 away (Burnley) for first games so still think we’re due a home game
