Going by the 1st post in this thread.... yes, we will avoid championship clubs and the teams who finished in the top half of league 1 last season
Rovers get a home draw vs Cambridge in the 1st round. City are also get a home tie vs Plymouth. So 1 of us will have to move the game to the Wednesday.
The fixtures are out!! We are away to Charlton on 1st game of the season. Our 1st home league game of the season is Peterorough. We are also away on the last game of the season against Southend. Festive period... 23rd Dec home vs Doncaster 26th Dec away vs Walsall 30th Dec away vs Oldham 1st Jan home vs Portsmouth Excluding bank holidays and the festive period, we have 5 midweek away games. 3 are at home and 2 are away!
