Re: 23/4 Fixtures
A lot of people on social stuff who have been saying we're still "7-8 players short" are also saying "15 points minimum from August", so it's that fixture day never changes.
The big thing is that the Christmas period looks friendly.

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
^^ I think from what we've seen the last couple of years, Sept/Oct/Nov are where I've been most concerned, we seem to have been unduly pressed for injuries and results (comparatively)...

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Was just wondering (but too busy to check) whether we still had That Bad Month last season.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 1:46 pm^^ I think from what we've seen the last couple of years, Sept/Oct/Nov are where I've been most concerned, we seem to have been unduly pressed for injuries and results (comparatively)...
From brief look at first six fixtures on a tweet - they look mostly winnable, unless we're scared of the Burton bogeyman, with a couple of 'big' games (Wigan and Derby) as benchmarks. It's good to have a relatively winnable start with a couple of those big'uns to (hopefully) gain momentum. Was talking the other day about the 1996/97 season (98pts, 100 goals) and how beating City in the first midweek really propelled us on, in a way that beating say Southend wouldn't have.

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Not sure we had a single "disaster" month, quite like some previous seasons, but we certainly had the odd wobble. Pre -Jan, from Cheltenham to Barnsley (14 games) we picked up 20 points. That's quite a significant drop from the other 32 games, but each month had, maybe a win or two in it which made it look less bad.

Playing at Burton whilst there is still some grass left will be a novelty.

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
New matchday prices are a bit steep IMO, I can't see many on the day attendees pitching up to boost numbers unless we are top 2.

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Yep. That will put a lot of walk-ins off. Season Tickets remain great value, but those matchday prices are very erm.. Unkind
Family ticket gone up from £62 to £86 for 2 adults and 2 under 16's

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Going to make a brave prediction that this season will see a big shake up of the jigsaw puzzle from how last season ended. I just hope we don't start taking things for granted too soon. Funny old game football. .. ![Groovy :oyea:](./images/smilies/oyea.gif)

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Cambridge away, postponed due to call-ups, rescheduled to February 9.
For a short month, Feb is gonna be busy. We now have six games scheduled, with the possibility of more. We're currently due to play:
Sat 3 BARNSLEY
Tue 6 Cambridge
Sat 10 Northampton
Tue 13 WYCOMBE
Sat 17 CHARLTON
Sat 24 Blackpool
...the only free midweek, Tue 20, is the scheduled date of the Sherpa Van semi-final. Not counting those chickens yet (we'd have to beat Accy-or-Lincoln and then someone else in late January) but it's getting full. And that's without mentioning a possible FA Cup Fifth Round sneaking in on Wed 28
We've also still got to reschedule trips to Barnsley (postponed by internationals) and Wigan (FA Cup 3rd Round).

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
The fact we play the nastiest games at home is welcome. We owe Carlisle, so that'll be interesting and then there' Blackpool away.
Last time I did Blackpool away a lad with a hood and scarf "wannabe hooligan" combo ran up and took a swing at me, missed, fell over and then ran back to his mates with his arms up like he'd won a title fight. Bizarre lot. Might be worth another do.

Re: 23/4 Fixtures
You can add Wigan away - Tue 27th feb
Re: 23/4 Fixtures
Looks like some transfer business may need to be had just to ensure players can be rested in Feb. Looks likely to be a tough slog and in the cold too. Hardly pleasant.
