[Archived] Fixtures Discussion

[1864roverite]

heard from a nobend fan that PNE are away first game of the season meaning that if it is true then Rovers will be at home for the kick off.

fixtures are released 1000 tomorrow morning.

How I would like to play Bolton home to start the season off.

what about you? who do you fancy ?

[John]

Chelsea at home, payback after the last game was marred by the 'thugs' jibe. Kuqi versus Terry to be the main battle on the pitch for me.

[Krillin]

I bet it's Sunderland for the first game.

[brfcshabba]

Fulham away is the fixture on the leaked fixtures

[rossyste]

my mole at the fa reckons its fulham away(whoopee!!!!!)

Dont think that will matter, dont they start a week earlier than us?

[Lee]

indeed they do

[S15]

It always seems to be a promoted team at home....

Sunderland might be a decent bet.

Wasn't that on here from some spuds board. It's got to be spurs away at the end of the season and fulham with it! It's the way every season and wasn't the other theory that we get a promoted team starting with W at home! so Westham or Wigan!

Anyway aren't moles blind? (very badly sighted)

Moles out of the FA!!! Its amazing who they'll employ these days!

It's been a long day and perhaps I've missed something but how do you work that out??

[Ronin]

The way the past couple of seasons have been . . .

promoted sides starting with a W; Wolves, West Brom . . . Wigan?

Yip.. I get that Ronin .. but my question was referring to Jim J's post on the topic ... how does where and when PNE play have any bearing on where rovers start the season ??... they're still in the chamionship.

[S15]

Cos with north west teams they usually try to make it so if one is at home another is away... Maybe Pne are the team we have been linked with down the years, with us two getting the highest attendences.

cheers shillito

you boys and your local knowledge!

Or West Ham

when nobend are at home ROVERS are away.

Its a Police thing, Rovers and Nobenders are two teams that cannot be at home in Lancashire on the same day

its the same with rovers and the dingles isnt it?! wouldn't mind a local derby first game - preferably wigan....home or away it doesnt matter

I think Fulham is the best away game.

[den]

So 1864, if north end are away first match and they kick off a week before us, then we will be away first match as well - by your logic?

I dont think he's thought this through....

As for the first game, who cares? We have to play them all anyway so bring them on

Notlob isn't in Lancashire is it? I thought it was in Greater Manchester !

I'd like to see ManUre up first at Ewood.. they are notoriously bad starters to the season (or have been in recent years)

He said nobenders [preston], not notlob.

[Manchester Blue]

It's still irrelevant as we're in different divisions which start a week apart.
