Get Ready for Fixture Release Day!

Fuck the Euros, it's all about Tuesday. Which I actually thought was this Friday but still.

Not entirely clear on what action(s) I need to take to be ready?

Assume, as usual, we'll start and finish away from home? Leicester in October/November and January/February?

Well in the old days we used get a load of ITK cobblers about who would be first game.

Wovles (A) according to my mate.

Yippee!! I can barely contain my apathy.

First 5

Man City A
Arsenal H
Liverpool A
Villa H
Chelsea A

New manager

I'm going to need a guess, please.

First game away at Liverpool, last game away at Southampton.

Would be nice to have a home game to start with and/or end with; we haven't the last two seasons.

In the last 4 seasons, only 1 of the first or last games was at home (Preston on the last day in 2021.)

Obviously it's not that outlandish that it could happen by chance but isn't the Embankment festival normally the same weekend as the start of the season and we play away to avoid that?

We haven't had that many boxing days either, should get a least 1 of the 3.

The Hundred at Trent Bridge has effected things as well

Season starts on 17th/18th August, Embankment festival is September and the hundred is on its finals weekend at the Oval and Lords, so no reason we can't start at home.

Everton away with Stuart Atwell on VAR.

Followed by Spurs away with a special guest un-retirement from Roger Milford

I've let that one go. Jon Moss was our atonement gift from the football gods.

Liverpool 0 Forest 3
There’s talk of a title challenge but that soon gets nipped in the bud when we don’t win again until May (Arsenal 0 Forest 5) and we get relegated with six (bloody good) points.
