The Championship Thread - 2025/26

Well, may as well fire this one up for the new season, given that this one is done now we have reached the promised land of 12pts...

 

...and there's no more fitting way to start this thread than with the announcement of a new Watford manager

 

26th June is fixture release date.

Reckon one of us and Leicester will be away at Wrexham on opening day.

 

We will be drawn away at WBA……..I can feel it.

 

Or Charlton if they come up...

 

Championship 2.0

Get loading back from doing the Burnley threads.

 

Sheffield Wednesday if we get Danny

 

That'd be incredibly dull after playing them the opening day last time. Wrexham away would be class.

 

I did a list randomiser and Ipswich (h) was the first fixture.

Which would simultaneously be quite dull and put the pressure on early.

 

I think Norwich away as Russ will end up there. Then Charlton at home (if they come up).

 

Imagine this place it that happens and we lost both lol

 

Leicester away to get a guaranteed loss out the way. Plus Martin will end up there

 

Portsmouth at home. Start the season with a bang.

 

Well that obviously won't happen.

I'd rather not play them too early either I don't think as they'll be a much more settled team.

Trip to Fratton in November would suit me.

 

**** this ****ty season, I can't wait for this!....

 

Wondering how many skates have applied for a membership to try and get a ticket for SMS.
I really hate these games simply because the rivalry is too much about insults and fighting.

 

My sister is a portsmouth fan and her husband is a millwall fan so hoping I avoid the cliche'd banter coming my way by us winning those

 

Hardly any at all I'd say. Think I've been to every derby at St Mary's and can't recall there being an issue before.

Assuming they do the bubble there'll be hardly any trouble too I imagine

 

Well, there'll be no reunion with Selles. Set to be sacked by Hull.
