MarkBRFC Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Due to be released this morning. If we are going off them lot down the roads fixtures, it looks like we'll be away first & boxing day, and at home new years day/last day of the season. Anyone got any preferences? For me, if we're starting away I hope we can avoid the likes of Stoke/Derby/Boro etc. Someone like QPR/Hull would be good I think.

AJW Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a feeling it's going to be away to one of the relegated PL teams .. Probably Swansea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasta Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Wigan please. Boxing day is always Bolton away recently so that wouldn't surprise me again. Edited June 21, 2018 by Hasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perthblue02 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Guess: Leeds away moved to 2.15am Sunday by the LUFC Broadcasting company 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ipswich away first game. £35 a ticket no doubt. First 5 are on paper very kind to us. Ipswich and Hull away and Millwall, Reading and Brentford at home. Need to get off to a good start this time round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the one game on TV for Leeds in the first six announced - v Stoke at home. The guys at Sky will be nervously waiting for that phone to ring any minute now. It won't be pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick check shows that Swansea and Reading away are both night games. Thanks again EFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted June 21, 2018 Backroom Share Posted June 21, 2018 Had to be Paul Hurst, didn't it? I think our first match after relegation was Ipswich at Portman Road as well. I remember very distinctly the away fans loudly chanting "KEAN OUT" as that snake slithered into the away dugout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Expect Sunderland to clog up the live TV game schedule. Might even reduce the amount of Leeds games to accommodate it. If this anticipated Villa financial crisis unfolds expect their Sky coverage to drop accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this season that all midweek games can be watched online and via Sky? If so expect very small travelling numbers to those places. We often seem to have Reading away midweek, must be the 4th time in 5 visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Underwhelming at the start but a real opportunity maybe to get some points on the board. Wigan & Nobbers back to back away with no doubt some tv involved will see a couple of sub par followings no doubt which is annoying. Oct/Sept look hellish.

only2garners Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Assuming the plan hasn't changed, we should expect the first home game against Millwall to be a cheap one, probably £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season, everyone who subscribes to IFollow, will be able to steam all the midweek games in the UK (unless they are selected for sky tv Coverage), previously it was only available to overseas fans. Christmas/New Year & Easter games excepted. Overseas fans will still be able to stream every game, except the ones broadcast live on sky.
