We have even been given a home game on Boxing Day and it is a match that is likely to bring a full house to the Turf with the visit of Wolves. The Black Country club are also our first opponents in the first away game of the season.
We might have a home game on Boxing Day but the Football League have once again sent us on a ridiculously long holiday trip and two days after that Wolves game we have to go to Brighton. This is followed up with a visit to our graveyard Bramall Lane on New Year's Day.
The first of the home fans only games comes as early as September at Turf Moor, both of the Millwall games are midweek evening games. The return at the New Den (or in front of a TV screen at the Turf) is in March.
New club Milton Keynes visit the Turf on 28th September and the return fixture is the last day of the season. This means we have no idea where our last game will be played. It could be at Selhurst Park but more likely it will be played at the 4,000 capacity Milton Keynes Hockey Stadium.
The Easter fixtures see us play Gillingham at home on the Saturday followed by an Easter Monday trip to Nottingham Forest whilst, apart from Millwall, there are midweek games at Ipswich and Grimsby and an August Bank Holiday trip to Reading.
