    Football league fixtures have come out today. Conference fixtures do not come out until 7th July.

    Both football league and conference start on 9th August. The conference last game of the season is 25th April however football league ends on 2nd May.

    City's fixtures are out and based on their fixtures, you can pretty much tell the dates where we will be home/away.

    City are away 1st game of the season on 9th August, that will mean we will be home 1st game of the season.

    City are away on 25th April so we should be home for the last game of the conference season.

    The 3 dates over the xmas period...
    Friday 26th Dec - City are home - meaning we will be away.
    Sunday 28th Dec - City are away - meaning we will be home.
    Saturday 3rd Jan - City are home - meaning we will be away.


    Now IF the FA decide to relegate Wycombe and reinstate us, I presume we will take over Wycombes fixtures. Its interesting that Wycombes fixtures have come out identical to City so when City are home, so is Wycombe. Meaning if we do take Wycombes fixtures, every home game we have will need to be re-arranged either moved to a Friday night game or moved to a Sunday game. Unless they allow both Bristol sides to be home the same time. Highly unlikely the police would allow that. Of course its highly unlikely that we will get reinstated anyway!

    I'd have thought we'd be home first with City being away.

    That game will be on TV, as it has already been moved by Sky.

    based on what I've heard of the Conference admin, if they used fax to communicate transfers they probably use Ceefax to list the fixtures and that takes time to line up all the characters :wink:
