One can only assume that the fixture list will be published this Friday, June 15?
That's the day over the last number of seasons when they have been released

Yeah, Monday at 9am they're released.
My prediction for first match: Home game against Reading.

I would also be jumping on this bandwagon, but I reckon we will be at home...most likely against someone like Everton or Sunderland

i'll take any of the above. despite the mess made of the start of the season by the manager and the board that was a tough start whatever side we put out, ended up basically playing for top 4 after 3 games

Last two seasons both our first and last matches have been away. For me there is definitely a bit of an advantage playing these games in particular at home, so we'll see what happens this year.

We haven't started the season at home for a good few years now; Newcastle, Liverpool & Everton all away if I recall...
