CB Fry Posted 18 June, 2013 Share Posted 18 June, 2013 Le Tiss on twitter suggesting it is Arse away too, or at least saying that's what he heard. Way back when I "worked in the media" (hello local daily in Gloucester) we would get the fixtures the day before, the embargo just prevented publication, it didn't prevent the sports dept and the likes of me eyeballing them. Were I on SWF back then, they'd have been straight on. These days will be slightly different but not a surprise if some opening/key fixtures squeak out before the deadline.

Media only get them an hour before these days, pretty open as to who can get them at that point, websites etc, think it costs £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 18 June, 2013 Share Posted 18 June, 2013 Arsenal fans seem pretty sure it's us at home. Not sure how that works. Wouldn't be an awful fixture, we'll sell out, not too expensive, and a decent away game. Plus we owe them one for the shambles last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 18 June, 2013 Share Posted 18 June, 2013 Was the worst away game of last season so will be good to get it out the way. Souless place. Quite how they'd allocate for it I don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be able to base any allocation on last season's away ticket purchases surely? Agree, utterly s**t away at the Emirates, didn't enjoy it all, regardless of the score.

Wouldn't be an awful fixture, we'll sell out, not too expensive, and a decent away game. Plus we owe them one for the shambles last year. Agree it would sell out but it wouldn't surprise me to see it classed as a higher category game for the Arse this time. First day fixture, we'll be a stronger side and the fact we sold out in hours last year could see tickets at £50/£60, similar to City away last August. That could may make 1 or 2 think twice.

alpine_saint Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 Hasnt it been confirmed to be Arsenal ? I think the fixture list is a set-up. All the big 6 get an easy early run to provide as tight (and entertaining) top-of-the-table as possible, and to allow the CL teams to come up to speed for that competition. Remember our first 10 games last season ? Expect something similar next season. Anyone remeber Wengers whine in a press conference about 10-odd years ago ? David Seaman came on and said it was cobblers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 (edited) 12 points minimum form first 4 games Done the BBC predictor and we will celebrate the title in early March and finish with a record 122 points. No reason why we can't be top after 4 games tbf.... Makes a big difference to last year playing Man City, Man Utd, Wigan, Everton, Villa and Arsenal in our first 6 games to playing WBA, Norwich, Sunderland, WHU, Liverpool and Palace. The only one which doesn't look winnable out of those is Liverpool away. You could really go with we've got an easy start until mid November...

Saint_Tony Posted 19 June, 2013 Share Posted 19 June, 2013 It's a much better spread of fixtures than last season, first 7 games are all very winnable. Could be vital in setting us up for the rest of the season to avoid the panic of last season Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
