Championship favourite fixtures.... (25 Viewers)

[Paxman II]

We have been away from some of the bigger boys for so long, it seems I've almost forgot how exciting this will be back in the championship. Think of some of the fixtures that will be much more of a 'norm' for a club like us again.
Sheffield Wed, Derby, Villa?, Forest, Middlesbrough, Stoke, QPR, Blackburn, Norwich.
Waited too long, and for some younger generation will be completely new.
Has it sunk in yet because however the league 1 race is decided we are going up.

Villa for me, can't wait

You would think that the EFL will try to back load the local derbies, with the longer trips scheduled for the start of the season.

Not sure if that is possible, but would make more sense.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Derby and Forest. Also like Norwich for an away day. Bet hardly any mention of visiting Blues again!
Had some good days at Blackburn too.

Forest away will be quality. Always loved QPR ... like a subuteo stadium

I wonder how much they are charging now... been that long since we have been there, it's probably in 3 figures!

 

[better days]

West Ham?

 

[Sick Boy]

Let’s just get it confirmed first!!

 

[mr_monkey]

Let’s just get it confirmed first!!

There is no way we don't go up, no null and void option and no way the season continues if the vote is on the 8th June.... The only argument is what happens below us

Villa for me, can't wait

Said to my missus yesterday, my lad who’s 20, had never seen us play villa. I think that there’s a whole load of people who’ll be a bit surprised With it all when we go to villa park next season.

 

[lordy_87]

I'm just praying fans will be allowed in stadiums for next season so we can enjoy it

IF they go down (please please please)

 

[Brylowes]

Norwich for me ‘only 25 miles and a cracking day out to boot.

Do any away trips facilitate the reintroduction of the all inclusive boat trip?

Was going to mention that but at 52 didn’t want to come across as a perv.

I don't want to get promoted just to go on a nostalgia tour & sit there admiring these Championship clubs & grounds, the games I'm looking forward to are the one we win so that we can stay up, not bothered at all about the glamour

1 year survival, then 3 years building, then 3 years challenging for play off.... in play offs years 8 and 9.... promotion year 10.

Over to you MR ..... elevate yourself to the status of legend.

no, same as League 1

2 months to acclimatise
Finish strongly for mid table finish

Season 2 - Top by a country mile

 

[Travs]

Simar here.... Forest, Norwich, Sheffield Wednesday.

Obviously would love to have the prospect of playing Villa.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Bournemouth away - it will save me hours of driving.

It's probably still a shithole, just with higher entrance fees hahahaha

 

[Tommo1993]

A number of grounds in the championship still need to tick off. Looking forward to it.

 

[The Great Eastern]

Carrow Road 5 miles for me so could even walk that if the weather is ok and fans allowed to attend. Plenty of great city centre boozers so the last mile could be a bit tasty !

Christ I'm gonna slit my wrist.

 

[ccfcway]

Birmingham away and Birmingham away for me

 

[Covkid1968#]

Would it help if I shaved off one of the building years and shaved a year off play offs. That’s 8 years!! TBH there was a point I thought Championship was beyond us... now look at us...PUSB

 

[Somerset Sky Blue]

Bournemouth away - it will save me hours of driving.

I'm thinking Bristol city, then some Welsh trips to Cardiff and Swansea for proximity....
I'm not sure about villa park, most times we seemed to lose!
If closeness wasn't an issue, think I'll go for forest at the city ground.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Birmingham away and Birmingham away for me

Ricoh back in Cov for me.

playing in wasps stadium doesn't do it for me at all

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Or we could do a Sheff Utd and go up straight away with largely the same team they had in league one (Cov reserves)

So what do you want to do then? Interested

I’m 28 and I’ve never seen us play Villa.

 

[skyblue025]

Be just out luck we get the Vile away first game of the season and it's behind closed doors.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I remember ‘67 when all the talk was division one and the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool. The pink did an article asking all the players which ground they were most excited to visit.
