The fixtures for next season are going to be announced on the 19th June, so who do you think we will get first up? and where? Whichever fixture is left after all the others have been selected is mine.

I can't offer anything like as grand a prize as IwasanotherwatfordR did on the Grand National competition, but I'll buy the winner a pint before the first home match of the season if they can get to the Crown and Sceptre, if they can't make it I'm sure I'll be able to find someone to drink it on their behalf. <cheers>

I'll go with some Russian gulag treatment to make it quite clear to our fans that we've dropped a division - so Millwall (away) then
 
I'll go for Yeovil away purely because I would love to see the faces of any blood sucking leaches, I mean our top players, that are still hanging around for their fat pay cheques. it might just help them out the door before the window closes on the 31st August.

If allowed I would also add as our next fixtures Barnsley, Huddersfield, Doncaster and Bournemouth all away as this would surely see them all off :)
 
Birmingham home. It's always a team beginning with a B (excluding Swansea).

QPR results by season:-

Looking back at our season opening matches - until last two seasons, not bad a record, games generally at home.

So for 2013-14, likely a "B" team, at home and we win - after Bolton & Swansea experiences, perhaps 3rd time lucky?
