I know, only problem is that i graduate on the Sunday! So will be up for the Saturday game, and head back down for the Sunday

[rangers]

that looks like a bruising opening weekend for you guys.
Hopefully I can get to the first game of the season in Newcastle. Just 2 month and 4 signings to go, and i cant wait!

Thats what i was thinking, Payette wanting to make his mark straight away, and then the goon squad the day after..... should make for a interesting opening weekend

3rd Home Coventry

Nice christmas fixtures too!

Also worked out we have 17 saturday matches out of a possible 28 and every home Sheffield or Coventry league match is on a saturday night which is decent.

At least for today.....

[sambo79]

double header up in Manchester end of Jan - should be fun

[Mythosman]

17 Saturday; 6 Sunday (@ 4.00 pm); 2 Tuesday; 2 Wednesday and 1 Thursday - not too bad at all!

However, it will be interesting to see how the list stacks up at the end of the season, after concerts have eaten into the Saturday nights!

[NP]

The edinburgh away double header looks appettising. Slight imbalance, with 5 away games in a row from end of September; then make up for it with 5 home games in 6 in end of oct/Nov. Last 4 out of 5 games are away as well!

Feb looks tough with 10 fixtures including Belfast, then away to sheffeld the following day. Also their could be a cup game or two to fit in during Feb!

[matt44]

After the opening weekend we'll be lucky to escape with any uninjured players left!

NEP article on fixtures..

This company also organising travel to Belfast matches..

[Gilly]

well what a potentially explosive encounter we have on our hands for the first 2 games!
i can see ndur having at least 10-15 pims on his card by the end of this weekend alone!

[psylence]

first home game will be quality! i can't wait. and no doubt that the game going off in newcastle will disctract me from Lee Evans all night!

[KimThePanther]

I've added days into Sambo's post.

The Manchester weekend is very tempting indeed.

[sambo79]

Thanks Kim

I'm thinking of doing a sweepstake on how long before there's a fixture change. I'm going with September 23rd.

Sweeeeeeeeeet! (Although I already knew - Disney On Ice @ The Fabulous NIC)
Means I wont have to miss any games whilst in Stockholm, watching the Ottawa Senators.

From a personal point of view, it was good for me we are away on Nov 22nd (I am away in Cardiff watching Wales v All Blacks)

The only game that i currently look like missing is the home game v Belfast, on Dec 14th. I will be in London watching Coldplay.

[tomtom]

We've got some decent weekends coming up! The first weekend looks like a bruising affair but I'm confident we can get maximum points

[mattalfuk]

Im gutted about the Steelers game being on 20th September! On holiday from 17th September til 2nd October and I just knew the Steelers game would get scheduled for while I'm away!!

I have a season ticket for the 1st time this year so I guess I'll let my relatives fight it out for tickets while I'm away!

[Jay]

From that article it would seem we arent taking part in the KO cup yet again.

[Lyn]

Fall nicely for us, were away from the 1st October to 16th in Calgary & Vancouver and we miss no home games, makes a change we usually end up missing a shed load of games whenever we go on holiday.

[dms41853]

what a weekend of fun it is at start of the season, lee evans friday, vipers away saturday and hull at home sunday quality

Also good news as it stands i don't miss any home games when i go canada in oct, i do miss the steelers away game but hey thats one less time i don't get crippled from the chairs in the house of tin.
