Wigan (H) game 4.
Sept looks interesting

Better not start slowly...

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.

^^ 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)...

Was just wondering (but too busy to check) whether we still had That Bad Month last season.

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.

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.

Just. No.

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

That's the 4th of November next year to you isn't it?

It’s more of an extremely tricky time signature.

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.

[boltonboris]

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

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. ..
