Reasonable start

October looks quite tough

Christmas a bit underwhelming

Late Feb through to early April quite tough

Birmingham at home on a Bank Holiday - really?

Fulham away may have to be moved (FACR4)

And why do L1 finish a week earlier than everyone else?

I think the play-offs next year are staggered over two weekends. Not sure why. Maybe something to do with the Queen's birthday/anniversary holiday.

The run-in looks ok.

There are no 'wow' fixtures for me. It just looks like a solid, tough division.
 
I was full of anticipation, but somehow I feel just kind of, “oh well”

Just hope we have a decent start, so we’re not looking over our shoulder.

Is it not due to the play off finals being on different weekends this coming season? Think League 1 might be a week earlier.

I reckon it'll be similar to last season, rocky start (calls for Critchleys head) pick up up a little, have a bad Christmas as per usual, after that, we click and finish about 8th-10th. I'm still putting a tenner on for the playoffs though,

It's a bit odd having PKE & T'Rovers as consecutive home games (2nd & 23rd Oct), and then as consecutive away games (9th Mar & 9th Apr).

The BFC marketing department would have wanted the home games (and the buildup associated with them) a bit more spaced out than that.

An opportunity to sell a ‘double derby’ ticket to none STH’s perhaps?
 
I’ll be sickened if Fulham away is moved - weekend of my birthday and was hoping the Mrs would be organising a nice little weekend down in the smoke! 🤞

I enjoy Fulham away. I worked in Fulham (Earls Court) in my 20s and a group of us young un's occasionally had a summer night out at the White Horse, Parsons Green. Went in the Prem season and expected the White Horse to be dead expensive (Sloane Ranger territory). It wasn't!
