Wigan at home - we always seem to play newly promoted teams at home on the first day of the season

[Guest Kamy100]

I emailed the Premier League weeks ago about Rovers playing Newcastle on the last day of the season as it would be Shearer's last game, they said they would pass it onto the company who does the fixtures. Lets hope they can arrange it!!

[McClarky]

We are nearly always at home on the first day aren't we. Does anyone know why or is it just coincidence? Someone told me last season in a boozer before the WBA game that it was to do with us winning the FACup 3 times in a row, he was pretty smashed though so I took this with a pinch of salt. I'd had a few too and can't remember how he was equating the 2 things.

I reckon West Ham at home anyway.

I always thought that we reversed our home games with the Dingles and Nobend did with Blackpool. Maybe I'm wrong.

[key76]

Yep you are right, the police insist that the local fixtures are reversed ie. Rovers/Bumley and Blackpool/Preston to avoid over-extending the local police (East and West Lancs)....OK so Bumley is Yorkshire Constabulary, but you get the point!!!!

[AlanK]

My guess is Pompey at home

first game against sunderland at ewood. stead to score a hat-trick

[modes98]

stead to score a hat-trick

Thats more than he scored for us last season......

I think it's a bit early to be making a 4-3 prediction! McCarthy to score 2 you say and Kuqi the other 2!

Full fixture list

[Bobby G]

Cant complain about the start!

Though the finish with our last three home fixtures against Pool,Chelski and Man City isnt the easiest of bankers.

[Jim J]

First 6 games are winable, 24 points, top of the league

[cravenblue]

not happy with first fixture, west ham will be up for it, but we shojuld get something

[Hughesy]

September looks intersting

September

10 Bolton (A)

17 Newcastle (H)

24 Man Utd (A)

However the first 4 games look boring. Hopefully we can get a good start

[den]

Complete list

[Jim J]

Just heard that Liverpool are asking for the april 15th game to be moved, as its the anniversary of Hillsborough

[den]

Wigan away new years eve?

Not often we play on new years eve is it?

[Bobby G]

Key period that could decide our fate, whatever that fate may be is December 3 - January 14 as all those fixtures can be won on paper and we dont face any of the Big Four during that time.

[Blueboy Downunder]

I reckon the fixture list is reasonably favourable for us. although december is gonna be a big month with so many games in such short spaces of time.

other teams - wigan are gonna get totally and completely annhialated on the opening day.
