Our first league fixture is .............
 

away from home.

(Because Burnley are away the week after and our fixtures mirror there's)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Is that right? I never knew that

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

I don't mean "Mirror" I mean when Burnley are away we're at home and vice versa.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Be hoping for exeter away, get it out of the way early

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

So we are more likely to be away on the 5th and home the following week when Burnley are away?

Plus Burnley have a home friendly on the 5th v Hannover 96 so it might affect the crowd if we were home on the 5th

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Robert;

Might be wrong as still away;

We start a week before the PL ( on the 5th)

So yes we'll be away on the 12th; but expect us to be home on the 5th??

Yes away on Boxing Day; but at home NYD??

All will be made clear NEXT WEEK ( as per the Club's official time line):rolleyes:

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Barcelona in a friendly then Real Madrid. what is wrong with that?? just askin

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Better not be, I'm in Spain :mad:

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Newports first 3 games will either be away or postponed due to thier new hybrid pitch not being ready in time

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

That'll pee off Somerset, even if it doesn't rain!!

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

At least it'll take his mind off us for a bit :)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

I'm still suprised they're allowed it as hybrid pitches are mainly artificial

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

think the doncaster rovers one is a hybrid. newports previous pitch was a mix of sand and soil anyway.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

With added water .......

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Exeters stadium currently only has 2 stands they've knocked down the away end behind goal so suprised they're not trying to move games

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

It only did have two stands (i.e. with seats). There was little to knock down behind the away end, other than the boundary wall along the street.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Happy Fixtures Day everyone - roll on 9 o'clock! :)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

:) Coventry City or port Vale as it's a home opener to the new campaign :)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Nope!!!

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Mr T you've seen the new fixture list ;)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Why would I need to see the fixtures??:)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Colchester at home first

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Good home game that n :)

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Last home game 28th April vs Lincoln

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Decent Christmas time fixtures :) & away at Morecambe early enough to be able to have a paddle in the sea :D

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Summer greetings!
At last, the season nears.... got to look at picking up maximum points from those first 10 games to get a nice cushion at the top.
Bring em on....bring em all on I say.

Ps, nice kit.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Unbridled optimism indeed!
Impressive new kit!
A veritable feast of pre-season friendlies, including 2 premiership opponents, all at bargain basement prices.
What more do the people of Accrington want? Diego Costa on a free transfer???????????

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

No thanks he's useless

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Not sure about Diego Costa, but I reckon if you offer them free Costa coffee ..... well! :D

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Be cheaper to sign Diego

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Who?

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

I'll settle fer Jimmy Ryan.:D

Re: Our first league fixture is .............

Stevanage fans still being bitter

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Yeh but we must make allowances for half wits.:rolleyes:

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Actually, I think they (or rather he /she; I can't imagine the entire Satanage fan base wrote it) are being fairly amusing. Some of the other pieces are mildly amusing, and wittier than some of the usual rantings from footie forums.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

couldn,t be bothered to read anymore after the piece on stanley. this hatred for a club is usually reserved for another local club not one about 200 miles away. hope they follow the likes of new brighton into oblivion.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

That's a shame MH as the Stanley feature is just one of a quite hilarious list of satirical 'spoof' footie based newspaper articles.
I read quite a few of the journalistic inspired stories & the cruellest satire is reserved for Stevenage Boro itself.
Accrington's name crops up in other stories which were laugh-out-loud funny.
If you give it out, you've got to be prepared to take it.
Our forum has been dishing the bile against 'Satanage' for years, so perhaps it's only fair to be on the receiving end.
At the end of the day it's just a bit of banter
'Sticks & stones' etc.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

We never hated Stevenage historically, but the nasty stuff that came our way, whence it became apparent we were Champions elect in 2006, ensured that quickly joined the Barrovians at the top of the stink pile.

Council House/Ground troglodytes, shandy drinking Frenchmen (south of Chorley) the lot of them. Even the women. And their pets.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

To be honest that was actually quite funny in the context of the whole site.

As I've said before the animosity was because they were refused entry to the league with a ground far better than we had and we got far more leeway than we deserved in comparison. It is still only a few of their bams that feel it in the same way as it's a small percentage of ours. In general most don't care and it's a decent trip down there.

Plus given the choice, without the football, I'd rather live there than accy having spent time in both if you exclude the football

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

Chorley used to get abuse for being Southern Tw*** about 27 years ago from stanley fans as our main rivals at the time.

Re: Our first league fixture is .............
 

at least they are fairly local. having a main rival 200 miles away in towns most fans have never been too is beyond me no matter what happened in the past which fans had no power to do anything about. going back to the play offs stevenage players for me were no worse than afc wimbledon and they seem to have got off scot free from us.
