Will post details of the key fixtures and the full list here at 9am. Any other threads will be locked/deleted to stop the board being swamped with posts!

Portsmouth away first up, away at Crewe on Boxing Day, away at Notts County on NYE and away at Exeter to finish up. Not a single home fixture on the key dates, baffling.

Rotherham and Huddersfield fans I work with have noticed they are at home on all those dates. Doesn't seem to have been taken into account this season.

Was just about to say same. He's done us proud, getting us Away fixtures on 3 decent pay days (1st, Boxing Day & last game of season).

First thoughts: Don't fancy the trip to Portsmouth in August,could be a 12 hour hike.

Finish at Exeter. good for the West Coasters but not a great place to go if we need something to win the title!

Not a bad run in through April.

Nor very kind to us over the Christmas period financially. no home game between 17 Dec and 2 Jan. If 2 Jan is 3rd round cup day, could be a very lean time.

Bit of a let down really. Annoying that some clubs seem to be at home for both Christmas fixtures.

I don't know what everybody get's so excited about. We play everybody home and away over a nine month period. It's the same every year! :blink:

If we were in the Championship or Premier League you could get excited but what does it matter what date we play Accrington or Cheltenham. :cheer:

I reckon they've gave us such a poor set of fixtures as they're sick to death of that pain in the arse John Nixon at the meetings!

Aye your right Nobby, but..............a relatively small club like ours you would expect some decent fixtures on some of the key dates, we need to make money as much as any bugger else.

Tuesday night in Grimsby will be fun. Playing away at Hartlepool in April during hopefully our run-in towards the promotion places while they are scrapping against relegation makes it the stand-out fixture to look forward to. I just hope they can afford the bill for the extra police that will be needed.

Ta, CCU, hadn't looked at the cup dates.

Well if one of us get to the third round it would move Colchester away to a Tuesday night, not good with their light but would take it if we were through to play a third round like last season.

I wouldn't be so sure about us scrapping for relegation this year, but feel free to fill the away end nobody else does.

Yet again, Crewe away, the easiest fixture to reach by train, is on boxing day when there's no trains.

Being completely hypothetical here, if Exeter could be a promotion/title winning game, how many fans would we take? I reckon at least 1000.

Possibly 3-4,000 if it decided promotion/title.

Tough tough start. Those first 4 fixtures are horrendous. We're going to have to really pick up form early on if we want to make a decent start.

Looking at that link, it's quite easy to see that we have an easy run in. That's based on who the bookies have as favourites to go up/down.

Leicester City 5000/1. We have an easy run in based on last years standings but this is a whole new year, new players. who knows we may be in a relegation scrap.
