The Championship Thread - 2025/26

Should get the rest of the year's TV fixtures later this week?

 

Someone had mentioned on 31 July games up to Fa Cup 3rd round weekend will be announced

 

Wrexham still haven't put their tickets on sale for the opening day yet. Mental.

 

Busy building the best side in the league by the looks of it

 

Back to Germany I guess.

 

And hes gone.

Wednesday will be very interesting to watch this season.

Barely any pros will be left by the start of the season, they can only open three stands at Hillsborough and their owner looks dead set on killing the club. I actually don't see a way out for them.

 

Norwich for a 12:30 KO is grim.

Brum at 8:15 on a Monday night too.

 

I'm really going to hate these 12:30 KO's.

We might actually have to get relegated again tbh

 

Seeing the changes makes me quite glad I'm not doing 75% of the games again this season. Those lunchtime kick-offs will go well in front of the TV with a hearty lunch instead of schlepping around at inconvenient times

 

Speaking selfishly, Norwich at 12:30 is great as it will (slightly) increase my chances of getting a ticket.

 

And I noticed there is even an 8:15 on a Monday night too. Probably be 1 in 3 games at 3pm Saturday kick offs this season.

I'm moving back to Hampshire after leaving a few years ago and don't even think I will bother with a season ticket.

 

Yeah I remember saying a lot last season that it's gonna be a nightmare. One of the big championship attractions is worse than the PL now.

No Friday/Monday night games at least I suppose.

 

Unless we're going extremely well I fully expect that to make members tbh.

 

To be fair, it usually does.

 

Radio Solent mentioned how Portsmouth brushed aside Reading last weekend. I can see them being a dark horse this season. They have not been mentioned as potential candidates.

I just feel that with Leicester seemingly out of the picture, there could be some unlikely teams in the top spaces. Would not under estimate WBA, Birmingham, Wrexham or Portsmouth. I can see teams like QPR struggling. In my opinion Saints will be mid table.

 

Pompey v Saints at Wembley for the play off final would be a hell of an occasion

 

Millwall are my dark horses for the play offs.

 

Norwich for autos I think. The battle between them and Ipswich for the title should be good.

 

Think they'll get a play off spot but won't really challenge for autos.
