First fixture 10:01 - Jun 2 with 3650 views | Stu_boy | Who do you guys want on the opening day? I'm torn between an incredibly tough away day at somewhere like anfield, emirattes or ettihad which would be a baptism of fire but gets it out of the way or a home game against a forest, wolves, fulham |  | | |  |
First fixture on 10:11 - Jun 2 with 2980 views | BuffaloBill | Brentford at home, you heard it here first |  |

First fixture on 10:14 - Jun 2 with 2967 views | SheffordBlue | Think with the stadium works that we need to get done we may well be away for the first game of the season. |  |
|  |
First fixture on 10:18 - Jun 2 with 2944 views | MK1 | Away at Man City. You don't want to be going there after Christmas. |  |

First fixture on 10:19 - Jun 2 with 2941 views | Keno | Im not saying the fixtures are fixed in our favour but I reckon it'll be stowmarket away, followed by Chantry Rangers U10's at PR |  |

Away from home we had the second best defensive record in the Championship. |  |

First fixture on 10:23 - Jun 2 with 2903 views | BloomBlue | Home to Man City, then away to Liverpool, followed by Chelsea at home. 7 points out of our first 3 game, real statement we aren't in the Prem just to make up the numbers. |  | |  |

First fixture on 10:33 - Jun 2 with 2804 views | CaptainAhab | Home against Man U. Ticks both boxes, biggest prestigious opening fixture (probably on Sky) and highly winnable |  | |  |
First fixture on 10:40 - Jun 2 with 2784 views | LeoMuff | Something winnable. |  |

First fixture on 10:40 - Jun 2 with 2784 views | smithy69 | Got Ipswich vs Tottenham all over it Mckenna returns to his ex club |  | |  |
First fixture on 10:50 - Jun 2 with 2717 views | E_I_E_I_E_I_O | Any home game please. One thing is almost certain that with all the hype it won’t be 3pm Sat as will be moved for Sky. |  | |  |
First fixture on 10:52 - Jun 2 with 2699 views | ITFC_Forever | Anything at home on the Monday night as I’m away that weekend. |  |

I think that is pretty much correct |  |

Lose 3-1 after taking the early lead? |  | |  |
First fixture on 10:57 - Jun 2 with 2671 views | SitfcB | It’ll either be a big boy away and the first game of the season live on the Friday. Or Leicester/Southampton away 3pm Saturday, like Sheffers I think it’ll be an away game first giving more time for the work at PR to be completed. |  |

This would make sense, and if u then add in that 7 of the away matches are in London , the that is over a one in three chance. West Ham often played near Christmas. When in the same division. Fulham and Brentford we have played first game in last few years , so let’s go Palace away. |  | |  |
First fixture on 11:51 - Jun 2 with 2523 views | J2BLUE | There always seems to be some marketable story for the opening Friday game. Something like Leicester vs Chelsea Man U vs Ipswich Leicester vs City |  |

They seem to like a 'lower' side to be at home to one of the leading contenders to start the season - I did wonder if they might line up a trip from one of this season's top three but you could be right, we might be away on opening weekend to give us more time to work on Portman Road. |  |

First fixture on 12:40 - Jun 2 with 2382 views | Facefacts | It's hugely important to get a good start. I think the theory of getting the big teams early is better, as, they don't always bother to do their homework on us early in the season. Complacency. Worth a look at our fixtures in 00/01 as I think they were easier than 01/02. And, of course, we were weaker and teams had worked us out. And we were in Europe. |  | |  |
First fixture on 12:46 - Jun 2 with 2352 views | textbackup | The only answer to this is West Ham away |  |

I don’t want anything *too* winnable. I’d want a toughish game that we could get something from, but losing is fine. Villa or Newcastle, maybe. |  | |  |
First fixture on 12:58 - Jun 2 with 2288 views | Churchman | Home to Leeds. Oh, sorry, I forgot 😃😂🤣 Away at Liverpiddle. A little chance away fixture, little pressure and they have a new manager. |  | |  |
