New season fixtures.

[Shogun]

I've been scarred by last year's Monday matches, so home games as follows. Bournemouth, Sunderland, Palace and Brighton are in Europe but it's only potentially one that will automatically be moved due to the Europe dates (if Bournemouth make the QFs)

Carabao dates not set but usually same time each year

Wed 26 Aug 20:00 - League Cup 2nd Round
Sat 05 Sep 15:00 - Man United H - Can't be Monday as CL following midweek
Sat 19 Sep 15:00 - Ipswich H - Very unlikely to be Monday due to League Cup
Wed 23 Sept 20:00 - League Cup 3rd Round - Usually split fixtures with the week before but you'd assume one of us/Ipswich will this date

Impossible to know where the other TV fixtures will fall.

For the Ipswich weekend, there is also Bournemouth/Liverpool, Brentford/Chelsea, Brighton/Arsenal, Fulham/Man United, Man City/Sunderland, Spurs/Aston Villa... So I think there's a decent chance our first 3 home matches will be Sat/Sun matches and two are likely 3pm Sat which should help the mood a bit.

Thanks - I was just looking at the Ipswich match as one I might get to, as the European games start the week before and as you say the fixtures means it's likely our match will stay on the Saturday, hopefully 3pm.

Yeah not sure you can guarantee that one but given those fixtures the same weekend then Brentford v Chelsea would seem the obvious Monday match. Big team, derby, neither in Europe.

Ignore me, I'm talking wham. There's no European matches around the Ipswich fixture! The League Cup is around those dates, so even less likely to be a Monday.

Are they going to sort the membership shite out? Has there been any chatter about it yet?

Only 1 game in October? Is that due to internationals and whatever the other domestic cup is called?

28th October is the league cup 4th round but the other 3 league matches that month are away from home

[Indiantoffee75]

Gonna be fun that opening game.

Palaces new replacement for Mateta bullying Tarky and Keane.

Not Monday (9): (I am assuming Brighton are going to make the Conference League SF because easy innit)

Sat 22 Aug 15:00 - Crystal Palace H - Confirmed
Sat 05 Sep 15:00 - Man United H - Can't be Monday as CL following midweek
Sat 19 Sep 15:00 - Ipswich H - Very unlikely to be Monday due to League Cup
Sat 28 Nov 15:00 - Liverpool H - Can't be Monday as midweek fixtures to follow
Sat 26 Dec 15:00 - Sunderland H - Can't be Monday as midweek fixtures to follow
Sat 06 Feb 15:00 - Newcastle H - Can't be Monday as midweek fixtures to follow
Sat 27 Feb 15:00 - Notts Forest H - Can't be Monday as midweek fixtures to follow
Sat 24 Apr 15:00 - Brighton H - Can't be Monday as ConL SF following midweek, although may be moved if they or us (lol) make the FA Cup SF
Sun 23 May 15:00 - Arsenal H - Can't be Monday as final day of the season but could be midweek if they or us (lol) make the FA Cup Final

Not Monday but midweek (3):

Wed 30 Dec 20:00 - Man City H
Wed 06 Jan 20:00 - Aston Villa H
Wed 10 Feb 20:00 - Leeds H

Possible Monday (7):

Sat 17 Oct 15:00 - Chelsea H
Sat 07 Nov 15:00 - Coventry H
Sat 05 Dec 15:00 - Fulham H
Sat 23 Jan 15:00 - Brentford H
Sat 20 Mar 15:00 - Tottenham Hotspur H - Could be moved to a midweek somewhere if them or us (lol) make the league cup final
Sat 17 Apr 15:00 - Bournemouth H - Europa League QF would move to Sunday (or Monday)
Sat 08 May 15:00 - Hull H


Possible Monday (7) with factors:

Sat 17 Oct 15:00 - Chelsea H - Europe following midweek so Monday options will be us, Fulham/Hull or Spurs/Coventry. HIGH CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 07 Nov 15:00 - Coventry H - No European fixtures or cups. Not an appealing fixture. None of the 'big 6' playing each other. LOW CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 05 Dec 15:00 - Fulham H - Europe following midweek so Monday options will be us or Leeds/Ipswich. HIGH CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 23 Jan 15:00 - Brentford H - Europe following midweek so Monday options will be us, Ipswich/Hull or Leeds/Chelsea. MEDIUM CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 20 Mar 15:00 - Tottenham Hotspur H - Could be moved to a midweek somewhere if them or us (lol) make the league cup final. TV likely. No Europe midweek after so anyone can be the Monday night fixture. MEDIUM CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 17 Apr 15:00 - Bournemouth H - Europa League QF would move to Sunday (or Monday). No European matches the midweek after, so anyone available for Monday. They usually just move these to Sun 2pm when the Europa team plays the Thursday before. LOW CHANCE OF MONDAY

Sat 08 May 15:00 - Hull H - No Europe to worry about around this fixture. Unappealing fixture. LOW CHANCE OF MONDAY

Obviously there isn't a Monday fixture every week, so have to take that into account as well, but it is most weeks. Looks like we might get away with just 2 Monday night home fixtures this season which would make 5 night matches including the midweeks.

Not a bad run in at the end if we have anything to play for.
