Bury away on the final day is a 12:30 kick off, strange.

Very tempted by the visit to the Ricoh Arena Bank Holiday weekend. :smile:

So SKY can show a live game without clashing with Prem/Championship matches.

We are always away on Boxing Day. Cant remember our last home game on Boxing Day.

Think it was 2010 when we were due to play Barnet but it got called off due to a frozen pitch. Really thought we'd get a home draw this time around.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Real Christmas Crackers ...........and very sensible. 2nd of January it's Doncaster who have to make the long trip down to play us (if the Cup doesn't intervene). Shrewsbury, Peterborough and Swindon as away matches in the possibly 'bad weather' month of January seems very helpful.
Am I the only one that thinks ALL the matches look tough? :smile: I suppose it's the normal reaction of going up a League.

Boxing Day game postponed I don't remember that I will have a quick check on SUFC database.

Yep looks like it would have been 2010 but was postponed. So our last actual Boxing Day home game was v Col U in 2009

Being serious, how come we have 4 Tuesday night away games but only 2 Tuesday night home games?

Quick, sign a striker called Benjamin

I think the fixtures show how hard this season is going to be. Big clubs, well organised teams and a lot of long trips.

Yes lots of long northern trips in this division now, it is going to be tough and expensive! It has been calculated that Colchester fans have the longest mileage in the division to travel to the away games this season you guys can't be too far behind.

I'll be in England for Christmas. Extremely pumped to have a derby and two home games to go to. SO EXCITED.

It's all about TV schedules now Pancake, a Sunday 12.30 kickoff means they can cover the final day in full before going off to show a premiership game later in the day.

 

[Barling Magna]

First game away at Fleetwood. That's too close to bloomin' Morecambe for my liking.......
