    Sods law says that it will be away to a team close to where I live (so West Brom, Birmingmam, Coventry, or Leicester), where if we played them mid-season I'd be able to get away tickets, but because it's the first game they'll all sell out to the season ticket holders. It feels like that happens every year, if there's a game I could easily get to, it will be either first game, or around Christmas, or at the end run-in, and will sell out before going on general sale :(

    Well we usually end up with either a relegated team or one of the newly promoted teams so there’s six to pick from, not bothered who it is if I’m honest, we have to play them all twice.

    Hopefully not one of the early kick offs, they are horrible. Friday evening or a "normal" 3pm Saturday at home will do me a treat

    It will be on tv on the Friday night and Sky will want a ‘big match’ in front of a big crowd - so I’ll go Leeds at home
