Premiership priority - again!

I thought all next season's fixtures were released at the same time, got a note in my diary for next Wednesday, 22nd June.
Then caught a glimpse of the Telegraph website announcing Burnley's opening fixtures & got a little excited thinking the announcement had been brought forward . . . . . . . . . but, has it heck - Premiership only fixture today apparently :(
I know it's only a week & yes, the Euros are in full swing but it's not the same & at least once the fixture are out the plans for next season's travels can start - am I missing Stanley? Too right I am!
 
The only amusing thing about the me-dja's total obsession with the Premiership is that, apparently, some foreign owners didn't even realise their club could be relegated from it.
 
With Burnley being at home on 13th August and our season starting the weekend before I expect us to be at home on the opening game.
 
Aren't the fixtures always released starting from the top down? Premiership first, then League on 22 June, Conference on 6 July, Northern Premier 'around 15 July' and so on. It makes sense with the FA still shuffling clubs like Cinderford, Evesham, Stamford and Corby between leagues.

On most Saturdays, there is a pattern across the north-west. Blackpool away; Preston home; Blackburn away; Burnley home. With Stanley between Blackburn and Burnley, there will inevitably be a clash with one or the other. In recent seasons, we have shared our home fixtures with Blackburn.
