We were offered a home game first last season but turned it down in order to ensure City Square was ready. They should have been away first game so got a home game last. It's quite simple - there's no conspiracy.jimharri said:They weren't reigning champions last season, but they got a home opening fixture. When are we going to get an opening day home fixture? Should have got one last season.Pigeonho said:That's cos they're the Champions. The Champions begin at home first, so I believe anyway.meeesh said:Them bastards will be at home.......again...probably err lets see.........Swansea,err no err QPR,er no fuck it it will be like home from home for the away fans....NORWICH !!!!!!
We will get Arsenal away, Spurs away, United away, Liverpool away, Chelsea away and then a combination of all 5 of them at the same time, again it will be away. Infact we aren't home until January.
I have the first 6 here;bluewigmcfc said:when are the fixtures out ?
Mr Jolly said:As previously mentioned it's a little early to think that the clubs have been given information regarding fixtures just yet. It is most likely some IT clowns testing out a new layout for the fixtures for next season. Move along, nothing to see here.

If they win the league we HAVE to be away, that's not a fix, it's just the way it is.the goats backside said:The winners of the league are always at home first game the following season but what really gets me is how on many an occasion when this has happened they have been at home last game also, that is a fix it means we have had seasons where our first and last games we have been away
Check out the bolded bit - it's fairly obvious he's referring to their last game of the season being at home, not their first. It's a bit out of order to begin and end the season with home matches, no matter what team it is.
Anyway, it shouldn't affect us too much this time around as we'll have the title wrapped up with 3 or 4 games to go ;)
Sorry, I had actually mis-read that. Either way though, every team plays each other. There is no fixing going on to give United the best start, no conspiracy, no wanting City to fail by giving them Spurs away like last year.... it's just the way it is. Again though no matter which way you cut it, every team has to play each other twice so on that basis it really doesn't matter who plays who at any certain time. It's equal.the goats backside said:M18CTID said:Pigeonho said:How can it be a fix? If they win the league we HAVE to be away, that's not a fix, it's just the way it is.
