Lovely set of fixtures all things considered.
Also agree on the lack of early season Tuesdays. Surely you get them in whilst players are fresh and the weather is good, saving later season Tuesdays for the inevitable postponements that will arise?

Just hope we can make a good start for once as looking at our home fixtures there isn,t a game to get me excited about until we get to november. Along with the possibility of more non 3pm weekend fixtures i feel i need to be watching an exciting County side to keep me going. I,d hate to be watching us go a bit rusk ball against cambridge or bristol rovers and seeing that as a new norm.

Something to bear in mind before people book travel and trains is that on international weekends there is barely any League One fixtures played because of international call ups. And they are only postponed a week or two before. On the last international weekend last season only 3 games got played. International weekends this year 7th September 10th October 17th November All at home.
Reading, Wycombe and Wrexham.
"Great", said the exiled season ticket holder. "I guess they'll all be moved to midweek now". Anyone want to buy a season ticket?

Struck lucky with these fixtures. Wanted Blackpool as 1st away as hopefully the sun will be shining making it a little less grim. Was planning on doing Exeter away as it's the closest game for my exiled mate in Cornwall & it's fallen on the 5th April...a day after my mates birthday! So thankyou fixture computer👍😁

No early midweek game is a travesty. We'll have the Carabao but first league Tuesday game isn't until October. Reckon that's good for us. We always start slow and we're going to have a lot of new players to bed in. No excuses for starting slow again. We’ve not been drawn against the big favourites early on, although none of them will be easy. Say it every year but our resources, players, set up etc then we should be hitting the ground running against Cambridge, Mansfield, Bristol Rovers etc. Not to say we should win every game but let’s not end up with 1 point from 9 or something stupid.

Still absolutely baffled by the excitement over Blackpool away, btw.
Is it because it's by the sea?
Is it because they're a club with decent history?
Ex-Prem?
Local?
Because we've played loads of clubs in recentish times with some of those factors and didn't have 'I hope we get Morecambe/Swindon/Bradford away in August'
It's an absolute toilet of a place. One of the last towns in the country I'd choose to go out on the piss, especially in peak holiday season when it's full of Scots.
Even before they got to the Premier League there used to be the same excitement.
If I were to rank all 24 L1 teams as somewhere to visit, Blackpool would be right near the bottom. But it's regarded as one of the best aways.
Someone help me out.

The only thing I can think of is have we played them in that stadium, I can't remember, I remember trips to the old dump and that's more than enough Blackpool for me

I've no desire to spend any time in Blackpool beyond what is absolutely necessary. Will be beers in town, train in, game, train out, beers in town.

I think the "attraction" is that whilst it's a dump, it's a tourist town so lots of bars/pubs/eateries (yes they're not great) and the pleasure beach. It is a very different away trip compared to many but I still feel the need to shower several times when I get back.

Someone help me out. 1. still holds some appeal to some (not me) from days / holidays visiting as a child I assume 2. seen (for the less sophisticated) as a good day / night out, like holidaying in Magaluf (might have been me 20 years ago)
