Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted August 21, 2020 Yep, Huddersfield away was my guess in the other thread, so predictable. For first, final, boxing day and cup fixtures it feels like we have a 90% chance of being drawn away, I refuse to believe this is done randomly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,334 Posted August 21, 2020 People on here have been talking about all the grounds they may be able to visit but it seems highly unlikely that clubs will be admitting any away fans at all this season, certainly not until there's full capacity again. You look after your own fans first. Sorry to rain on the party .....🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted August 21, 2020 Just out of interest, what is the problem with being away for the opening game, Boxing Day and the final day? I can maybe understand that Boxing Day is a popular game during the festive period, but we're at home on the 29th and the 2nd of January, so that balances out. I can understand that the last game is often important, but it's only Barnsley. We play every team twice; once at home and once away. Does it really matter when?

A Load of Squit 5,128 Posted August 21, 2020 So, what do we know about Huddersfield? Managed to stay up last season but the Cowley brothers left as soon as they were safe. Have appointed a new manager who was Bielsa's asst. at Leeds. Pre-season they play Southport 22/8 Fleetwood 26/8 @ 16:00 Bradford 26/8 @ 18:00 then Cup Rochdale 05/11. Bearing in mind the Bielsa connection I expect someone to be scouting out a leafy hiding place to get some info on them under the new boss. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to endure the Mugglesboro end at Wembley - until they all left at half time 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted August 21, 2020 Just now, Haus said: How long is it normally before TV schedules start getting worked out for this ? Less than a week. I imagine they might even get it done more quickly than usual this season given the shorter timeframe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After Holly Hamilton's comments this morning, I'd suggest the BBC are endorsing the use of "Illegal Streaming" as they won't be able to show any live football this season.

KiwiScot 1,436 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Bethnal Yellow and Green said: Playing Watford, Bournemouth and Derby in the last five fixtures. That could be some real top to the table clashes around that time if all those teams (and Norwich) live up to pre-season expectations. It's good that two of them are at home though and I've noticed we get a good number of difficult away games out the way early. Bournemouth, Brentford, Bristol, Middlesbrough, Stoke all in the first 3 months then Watford away on boxing day. The rest of our festive fixtures are at home. End of the fixtures are a bit more difficult, but the business end of the season always is if you're going for promotion. So all in all good fixtures I think.

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted August 21, 2020 3 hours ago, king canary said: Also, has anyone else found this totally snuck up on them? In my head the new season was still 6-8 weeks away and then suddenly I realised it's the end of August and we're less than a month from this new season. It's so weird, I haven't finished watching last season yet as I'm watching all the Champions league and Europa League matches! I've also got the Tour De France and rest of the cycling season to fit in as well. Can't remember when the last TDF overlapped the footy season! In terms of the fixture list I think the only thing certain is the order in which the matches will be played. I wouldn't get too hung up on the dates and days as they are only provisional for anything other than the first few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,385 Posted August 21, 2020 I see Huddersfield have had to call off a pre-season friendly tonight due to Covid issues. Surely good news for us? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
