tomav84 Posted August 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2020 did anyone else get all excited in the build up to 9am then that prang of disappointment when you remembered we'll be going to hardly any of these games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I actually think December is okay and probably the month where we can pick up with the most points. And we'll need those points because of the inevitable slide down the table from the start of April onwards. Either way, I'd just like to not be involved in the last day of the season for once. not in a Tim Sherwood/Remi garde way, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks like a proper premier league set of teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Bit of a pain getting City because of them starting a week later, no opening weekend fun for us. Looks like we’re starting of with the EFL Cup then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, happy about the extra week of pre-season but on a selfish fan level, it's going to suck not being involved in the excitement of the first weekend!

I know my local non-league team are allowed 15% for a couple of games from 31st August rising to 30% capacity but I can't see that happening in the PL any time soon. There are going to be a lot of disappointed fans who ordinarily would be at the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomvilla7 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I wasn't sure this morning, but now I'm thinking the extra week of pre-season might do us some good. This year has been long enough already, players will be tired with the short break, we will get to watch our opposition before we play them while they won't have seen us in a competitive match. Starting a week later will give any new players some extra time on the training pitch to develop a rhythm with the squad. Starting at home to Sheffield then away to Fulham is a great opportunity for us to start well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted August 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2020 So am I right it is only the two manchester team who are missing the first week and hence us and burnley will also have to miss? If so, why can't the PL just swap round those fixtures, ie we play Burnley on first day, those two Manchester teams could play once they are happy to do so whenever that its. This should be a problem for them to deal with, not us nor Burnley. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive side, it gives us another couple of days to get a couple of new signings in, for our first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 We have a nice run from the end of October all the way to Christmas to pick up points of: Brighton West Ham Newcastle Wolves Burnley West Brom Palace Will probably determine what type of season we'll likely be in for by the end. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
