sjk2008 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Early, I know, but I always look forward to the day these are released. Who do we reckon then for specific dates in the calendar? Opening Game? Choice - Blackpool (A) Guess - Gillingham (H) Boxing Day? Choice - Rochdale (H) Guess - Bury (A) New Years Day? Choice - Bury (A) Guess - Fleetwood (H) Easter Monday? Choice - Bradford (A) Guess - Colchester (H) Last Day? Choice - Burton Albion (A) Guess - Chesterfield (H) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Heard a rumour we've requested to be away first game. Just cos I've heard it doesn't necessarily mean it's true, like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 We requested the very same in 91/92 so that the new Chaddy end would be finished. Loads of other teams have done it Wouldn't be In the least surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I've read somewhere today we have asked for the first two league games away, I think it would be highly unlikely to be granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Please god first game away... I am away on holiday until the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I've been to the opening day games in the past two seasons and they've been great days out. Millwall or (if they stay down) Swindon away would be great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club is also hoping to be drawn away in the League Cup - Cup draws can't be fixed like the computer for League game fixtures. First home game should be on 15th August.

jsslatic Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Sounds like the kind of thing that's bollocks but would suit me. Will be abroad second Saturday of the season and after nine years without an ST it'd be nice to use it for the first game!

retiredballboy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm hoping for all the decent away days to be held back to September seen as I'm away the whole of August! I'm expecting the worst mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postman Matt Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Wigan away first game of the season would be my dream start, we will easily have more Oldham fans in the ground than the pie eaters, but we all know its going to be Millwall or Gillingham away 1st game....

oldhamoafc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not really fussed on who we get when due to the amount of local games we have anyway. However I can't see rochdale away being on a Saturday after last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather have Gillingham first away game or Swindon if they don't go up take more fans down than we usually would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyldelatic Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) 2015-16 league fixtures to be released on 17th June. League starts on 8th August. Blackpool did ask for their first few games to be away, and was granted, when they put finishing touches to new temporary East stand to house away fans in 2010.

GlossopLatic Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Burton will be next seasons Fleetwood, How big is their away allocation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Its allocation is similar to Fleetwoods around 1300 standing behind the goal and 400 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I just want all the teams that will bring larger away followings are scheduled for Saturdays that don't clash with the weather, cups or internationals, the more away fans we get the more money goes into the club. All the winter Tuesday night frostbite sessions will hopefully be against teams who wouldn't bring too many anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Burton will be next seasons Fleetwood, How big is their away allocation? Just over 1,400 standing plus 400 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The more i think about it here goes Opening game away Swindon or Millwall away teams we normally take fewer fans to. First home Game Lets have a team that bring a good following say a Bradford open new stand in style. October 9th England play Estonia on the Friday so Gillingham or winners off the League 2 play off final away on the Saturday make a weekend of it. Boxing Day is on a Saturday but sametime be no trains or nothing so i say Walsall easier to get to on the motorway. Last game of season Barnsley big allocation and if we had something to play for or had a chance to send them down or stop them going up it be sweet. Also want them to keep Burton Albion on a Saturday also. Colchester both games mid week please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Burton, Fleetwood or Millwall away would be good for the first game.... Blackpool too. Edited May 20, 2015 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
