Cheltenham Town for me. I live in Gloucester so it's local but it would also be a fitting start to the season given that our last regular League One fixture!

I went for Brighton last year (and was right), this year I recon one of the lancashire teams away will be our first away game.
I'l like to make the 70 mile(ish) trip to Gigg Lane, never been and the away end can hold 2000 fans.  :scarf:

Now we'll be back in league 1 I'm not bothered who we play first off, but if Torquay are promoted, then I'd like to see Rovers play down there early in the season so I can have a weekend away.

I'm reliably informed that the fixtures are released on June 18th at 9am

Tidy enough Ground with a good Park and Ride. Wetherspoons Hotel in Town Centre

Game I saw spoiled by Mr T Kettle who managed to p*** off both sets of Fans

Grant Holt playing for The Shrews but we wont have to bother about him !

I have fond memories of Torquay on a sunny August bank holiday weekend back in the 70s.
Deckchairs being thrown into the sea
Bananas being stolen by the stalk ful,l never mind the bunch hey Dave?
Fights before and after the game
If my memory serves me a 1 - 1 draw
Nearly missing the bus back home
Ah those were the days
So Torquay it is then

I voted Portsmouth at home, hopefully exorcise a few demons from this season early on! Having said that we will probably get them away and the ref will score a hat trick for them.

Speak for yourself, I can't wait to go to Shrewsbury. We've not played them for 15 years and they have a new ground. Plus my families roots can be traced back 700 years to...Shrewsbury! Be like a homecoming! :lol:
