[Archived] Barclays Premier League Fixtures 2011/12

[mark1875]

what date is the actual opening day?

i always believed it was the 2nd saturday which would make it the 13th august

however when Steve Kean was in court he said it began on the 20th august, and was then bailed until the 15th

surely our manager wouldnt get this wrong?

anyone know for sure when it starts

Supposedly Arsenal vs. United on the first game of the season

I would say that is the kindest start to the season we've had for years !

how to spoil christmas

manure and scousers away!!

Saying that, doesnt look like a long spell where we cant pick up some points if we are doing ok.

Very difficult run of away games at the end of the season.

I also expect Kean to leave at the start of October when we have 4 points from our first 6 games.

Any reason why you don't agree?

[LeChuck]

Very, very kind fixture list for the first half of the season. We have all the top teams at home and should have a chance in the away games. In fact, it's not until 26 December that we have a game that would be classed as definite underdogs.

If we are anywhere near the relegation zone by the end of October then Kean needs to be sacked. He couldn't have asked for anything more if we want to hit the ground running.

Careful you might get told your stupid by having a opinion.

I am actually thinking of buying a new armchair for the new season.

Ok, silly question perhaps but how do I go about getting tickets for Swansea away?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Pretty kind set of fixtures really, not facing a run of really difficult fixtures until christmas. Like LeChuck said if Rovers are rock bottom in October after those set of fixtures Kean should in some serious trouble.

The final three games could be tricky if we need to put a run together to survive. Having to play Spurs away, derby game against Wigan and then going to Chelsea on the final day won't be easy, especially if clubs like Chelsea still have something to play for.

When the time comes, about 3 weeks before the game, just ring Rovers? If not a ST holder, wait til general sale and they will sort you out and send tickets to your address.

Thanks.

Can't see us being 3-0 up at half-time last day of this season! We'd better not leave it so late!

[chaddyrovers]

I'm pleased with our our first 2 games. we shuld beat Wolves and Villa will have a new manager inplace in McLeish and he will be under pressure straight away.

come on rovers!!!
