Plenty of warm up time before the season starts. 
Somewhere to discuss the playoffs and who is joining coming up, who is going to leave before we get there and will it be WH or spurs coming down.
There will be plenty to talk about.
The Spammers for the drop.
Spurs to make the great escape. Unthinkable 5 or 6 weeks ago.
So, spygate throws a spanner in the works, but 16 of the 23 teams we will face are known. Two of 'Brough, Southampton or Hull will still be there.
But will Bolton or Stockport come up and will WH or Spurs come down.
Given what we know, where will our points for safety come from. And how much better than that can we do? Is 8th out of reach?
We know some additions will be needed, but will our new found style be enough to help us thrive?
I remember when we were last promoted to the Championship, looking at the teams and wondering where the hell we'd find the points to keep us safe. But we did.
It'll be 10 days before we know the full list of teams we'll face, but can we see enough already to secure our future?
One specific question. Given how Lincoln ran away from us at the end of the season, will we finish above or below them?

No offence but I'd much rather it be Spurs that join us.
If I could pick and choose then I'd struggle to decide which 3 to pick from the Premier League as there are so many dislikeable clubs for varying reasons.... Whilst I wouldn't say I dislike Spurs I do find it funny that they see themselves as an elite club and yet they've only won a single trophy since I was at school!
Plus, we've had West Ham down with us in recent history before, so it'd be good to see some new teams join us outside of the top flight champagne bubble.

Don't forget we had Spurs "up" with us in our 2 Prem seasons.
Spurs are somewhat more elite than the Spammers who have won feck all since God was a lad and while Spurs have been poor this season they are a better club than the ragbag bunch of spivs, dippers, muggers and drug dealers who occupy "their" council stadium for a pittance, thanks to the king of dodgy, Boris!!!
Didn't West Ham recently win a European trophy? I know they lost a final to Eintracht but think they won something the next year?
For the purpose of argument I deliberately ignored that.
It was only the European Conference League. Clearly trumped by the Europa Cup which included beating the Mancs.
Play offs, what play offs?! Where, when?
The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I went to the FA Cup final in 1975 and saw West Ham beat Fulham. No allegiance to either team but I had won a couple of tickets in the CCFC draw for season ticket holders (remember the little stub book of vouchers?). It was a good day out.
It was a year or two after that I got my first season ticket. I remember the 'ticket book' though.
No more a deserving winner than the magnificent Barry Tiger…I know I speak for all this forum, a mountain of a man and certainly nobody’s fool! Onwards BT pal!
Will these be the shirts City will be wearing next season?

I was in London that day but for a very different reason although it did involve "scoring".
