Of course, we'd like to open with Portsmouth at SMS, but if not who? I bet we'll be on Sky as they'll fancy a look at the new teams. I'm sure we won't get Brighton..too obvious.
Lets hope it's not Cardiff there is at least one too many teams in the Championship who play in Blue already.
Last time we started a season against Palace we were relegated :-( I am hoping for (home for me) away to Cardiff! lol
Coventry away. Which would allow close to 5,000 away fans if demand was sufficient. When we were both in Div 1, we often got Cov on the open day of the season.
Forgot their new stadium, bet Brighton will be first Championship side on Sky..Champions and all that. Their opposition will not be decided by television however, but by lots of other considerations, so could be anyone. I'd like a home game to start and a winning start at that.
I don't think local derbies on the first game are allowed by request of the Police so it won't be them skate c*nts. West Ham at home. Boom.
We will have several local derby's next year especially if the Cherries come up with us as well. Love the fact of not too far to travel. Can't wait for the next season to start.
Any of the teams that we think will figure in the promotion race next season so we can catch them early and hopefully cold...... Forest, Reading, Blackpool, West Ham or Coventry Honest prediction could be us at home or away to one of the Midlands teams and Pompey vice versa....
