Bournemouth away nice and early please....

9am according to the football league website

I can tell you Chelsea play West Brom on the opening day and ... erm ... that's about it.

Pah, what kind of a two bit hack are you?! ;)

Haha - I'm keeping my eye out for Swindon. Will let you know if I see anything.

Heard a couple of rumours saying Oldham (H) is the first game, complete bollocks i suspect.

We'll start at Bournemouth and Leeds will start at Portsmouth :(

Brighton home.

Bournemouth and Plymouth away on a Tuesday night. How shit.

Mon 25th April. Sheff Weds away. Is that a bank holiday?

Away on my pissing birthday again ... dammit.

Looks quite hard to start off, but the run in looks easyish...at the moment. Pissed off about Exeter and Bournemouth dates. Looks like my first away will be Carlisle due to hols. Up for it again Donkey?

Pencilling in Brighton and Sheffield weds and posh at home
and Exeter away for 2010 trips. Would be more but I have some
stag and wedding weekends as well as
3 weeks holiday in the states in October.

That's the most uninspiring fixture list I've seen in a long time.  The best thing that can be said about it is that the run (Sheff Weds, possibly Franchise aside) looks fairly easy.  If we're well positioned at the end of March, we'll be in with a shout.

In other news, Millwall start away to Bristol City and play at Fratton Park on Boxing Day.  Bugger.

Looks like I can get about 3-4 home games in before uni.

Thought the same thing last season....

DW in Jonny Wilkinson pose !!

It looks like he's hugging a sad Manks...

I'm in Exeter so I'm spoilt for choice this season.   

Must be a hidden clue, we're definately signing JW.

Yeah, that's Easter Monday.

Great start there. Get Hartlepool out of the way while it's still warm and ignoring Carlisle we've got a lot of close games for quite a while. Pleased.

Well, that wasn't great. Ones to put in the diary:

Franchise (A) Sat Aug 28
Southampton (H) Sat Sep 11
Plymouth (H) Tue Spe 28
Rovers (H) Sat Oct 9
Peterbourgh (A) Sat Oct 16
Charlton (H) Tue Nov 2
Sheff Wednesday (H) Sat Dec 4
Charlton (A) Mon Jan 3
Rovers (A) Sat Jan 22
Bournmouth (A) Tue Feb 1
Southampton (A) Sat Feb 26
Plymouth (A) Tue Mar 8
Sheff Wednesday (A) Mon Apr 25
Tranmere (A) Sat May 7

Im also looking forward to Dagenham away, Rochdale away, Yeovil Away, Exeter Away.

Shame that Bournmouth and Plymouth away are on weekdays, may have to get some time off methinks  :)

Personally I think this fixture list is utter shite....

Notts County away on a Tuesday night is gash.
Oldham away the day after Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in Bristol is gash.
Bournemouth away on a Tuesday night is gash.
Plymouth away on a Tuesday night is gash.
Sheffield Wednesday away on a Tuesday night is gash.

Yeah you should compakin or something.

Sheff Wed is on Easter Monday.

Ah so it is Langers, apologies............either way it is still gash.

Playing Sheffield Wednesday on an Easter Monday just brings back horrible memories of Paul Heald in goal and that utter wanker Gordon Watson scoring infront of the Town End.

Its not the Championship. :cry:

For all the geeks. The forum won't let me upload a .csv file so open in Notepad, save as .csv and import to your calendar of choice.

I'll keep you in the loop on Rochdale away, as i'm proposing that for the london reds en masse earlyish northern outpost fixture.

Thanks Samdy

Yeh definatley, would be great.

Meh. Exeter Away on Boxing Day is a major catastophic mega cuntslush clusterfuck. No way on gods earth I'll get to that one without suffering serious organ damage......

MK and Peterborough away early doors are a bit unfortunate, for very different reasons. An American friend of mine is being posted to the UK in late October, so I was hoping to 'treat him' to an away game in that area. Ho hum......

Gonna miss most of August cause of V festival and various weddingS etc!

and? were we not in with a shout?

WTF, am I missing something in this post?

Plymuff midweek is an arsehole decision.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed with the Plymouth fixtures.

I was worried about Plymouth & Bournemouth being midweek, because there is the possibility (well, probability) of some fans punching each other upside the head, and kicking each other in the cock and bollocks. The rozzers get involved with the fixture planning for this very reason.

Just another example of the hoolies spoiling things for the majority.

very uninspiring without the likes of Leeds, Norwich etc. not exactly any big clubs around now apart from Wednesday who was have played recently anyway in this division. Please get promotion. Being in the same division as Rochdale again makes me feel ill. Cant believe we have to play Dagenham etc as well. God lets get promoted this year please!

Exeter on Boxing Day sounds good to me!

Get over yourself Gazza!

Nah we iz massiv  :toocool:

Just seemed a bit arrogant for a supporter of a club like Swindon Town. Reeked of Leeds fandom, too much WACCOE.

I was under the impression that he was taking the piss?

I doubt it :)

I wasn't looking at the fixtures list doesn't get me very excited that said the division *tap wood* may be easier for us this year!

that list has depressed me, and reminded me of our dismal performance at wembley.oh what might have been.....

Quite happy.

After the first game we miss the next 3 Saturday's on holiday.
At least we only miss one home game, and we don't miss Peterborough away :)

How? I have no option to save it as a csv in notepad?

Just type in .csv after the file name after saveas. But i always have extensions turned on so am not definate about that. :)

cheers, job done.

Yup like the look of that game.

im at v fest, camping in yellow feild, putting my town wembley flag on a big fuck offpole :beers:

I doubt jfw will see it if your camping

U think Brizzle Shitty v. Millwall will be moved to an early kick-off so we can renew our acquaintances with Millwall fans as they pass through Swindon on way home just as STFC v Brighton finishes?

You couldn't be more wrong.

Boxing day are the only games that hand picked by the OB and transport folk.

Do you really think we're playing bournemouth on a Tuesday cos of trouble? Most major derbies are on a saturday, and even things like Millwall at Bristol City is, and there will be far more trouble there than when we head to bournemouth. I don't get where on earth you're coming from?

Theres been margianally more trouble with Brighton over the years than Bournemouth.

Brighton had a go down the bottom of Town the other year. Bournemouth have never dared do that.

Cracking first game.

Havnt got a clue what 'One f in fitton' is on about Bournemouth and Plymouth? I think there is only 1 club I have my suspicions about with Police interference is Swansea. Weve not had a saturday fixture there since 1996. Exeter home and away last season was a bit fishy.

Fact is there are so many southern teams that some tasty fixtures are going to have to be tuesday games.

Millwall vs Bristol City first game suggests there is less Police influence in opening games, not more. Not forgetting our first game with GILLINGHAM last season! All in all, you dont know what you're typing.

Honestly think anything will kick off with brighton first game? ..

Carlilse and Hartlepool among the first three away games? Shit

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2009/06/secrets_of_the_fixture_compute.html

Last season but a little insight.

I dont mind Hartlepool. You can create a decent atmosphere with a small following.

Without terracing, you cant do that most grounds now.

Yup, gets my nearest away days out of the way.

Given I now have a season ticket, I would say quite unlikely.  It also cost me about £100! Great day, though.

What a complete load of old fuck the fixtures are. Bollocks, I'm not happy. The best away weekends have been screwed.

South West/South Coast Safaris

Plymouth (Minibus? Train?) - NO, TUESDAY NIGHT
Exeter (Minibus? Train?) - NO, BOXING DAY, FAMILY RULES
Bournemouth (Minibus Away Weekend?) - NO, TUESDAY NIGHT
Southampton (MINIBUS!) - YEAH, AWAY DAY

Novelty Factor

Sheff Wed (Minibus/Away Weekend?) - YEAH, PROBABLY - BUT A BANK HOL MONDAY?
Dag & Red (Train?) - YEP

Must Gos

Brentford (Train?) - YEP
Peterborough (Drive then train?) - IN OCTOBER. GROAN. WHY NOT SEPTEMBER OR APRIL/MAY?

I like October, which is so named because it was the eighth month in the Roman calendar.

No decent fixtures in the half terms. Grrr.

Charlton away on a monday night, hopefully leave there in as good a mood as last time we played there on a monday night...

This!!
Oh and which site?

can i put this on my iphone do you know?

Yes, only if your iPhone is currently set up to sync with a calendar (e.g. Outlook).

Personally, I have an exchange account set up for Google which syncs my mail, calendar and contacts over-the-air rather than having to connect to a PC to sync.

http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/aspo4853a0ias58u31udhob85g%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Google calendar link for anyone who wants to add it

Sorted it.

Cheers mate

Fucking arrogant & cock-sure of yourself aren't you. I wouldn't just guess & make it all up for fuck sake. Take it from me the police are involved with all fixtures before the next season is put together. Read leefer's link where it says about police having to sign off clubs' requests for the following season, & making sure there's nothing else going on in the area when big games are on. I also have knowledge from the inside because my old man was heavily involved with this when he was in the Police for over 30 years. It is obvious that they cannot change all high profile games because there are too many! They just ensure these games are on when they can get proper resources.

You've also shown yourself up by talking about Brighton/Bmouth AT Swindon - the relevant fixture is IN Bmouth, where we pretty much always cause trouble. As is the case when we go to Plymouth. It is too much of a coincidence that both of these games are on a Tuesday night.

To you and panda - I can promise you that I do "know what I'm typing". 

Watch it "F" - he'll cut you.

 :)

Probably.

3pm innit

Bristol Rovers home and away on a Saturday? You're talking garbage. the police requests are to do with teams traveling together, or two sides in close proximity playing at home on the same day etc.

Last time Swindon played Bmth in a league game it was deffo a Saturday 2-2 if I remember rightly. I'm pissed off as it's midweek and if I'm on lates I gotta book a days holiday

There's always some duff ones for everyone. I'm just glad that Oldham, Tranny, Yeovil, and Rochdale are saturdays as i've not been to any of them before. Exeter being the other one is a bummer though.

Looking forward to Dagenham away, should be a laugh.

Pity about Plymouth being midweek.

Yep, Saturday December 29th.

Our last mid week game against Bournemouth was 2001. We did have on the August bank holiday as well.

Didn't remember it was that close to Crimbo Dave. August would have been much more fun for everyone concerned

Im not saying that they dont have influence, we would never get Oxford on the opening day of a season for example. I know the Police have the veto over all Football League fixtures, and have had that power since after the Bournemouth v Leeds game in 1990.

But saying weve got Bournemouth and Plymouth on a tuesday because of trouble? Clearly bollocks. Like I said, we got Gills AT GILLINGHAM away first game of the season last season, and that fixture had the worst crowd trouble I have ever seen in 2006. Ever. We got them last away game the season before, when Oxford had a team in Kent the same day and it went off big time at Paddington. Total police fuck up. You explain that one? Weve got Bournemouth and Plymouth away on tuesday nights because there are lots of southern teams in the league and some fixtures have to be tuesday night games.

To be honest, Swindon's mob is nowhere near as dangerous as what it was a few years ago. Our fixtures are not a priority anymore, unlike when we were in League 2 for a season.

It was 4-2. Peacock scored on his debut.

You're wrong by about 2 years.

Ho ho. So I am. Apologies, carry on.

Going back to the actual fixture list, Id say there are a few dissapointments but overrall its actually very good. This season Im starting my boycott of out of town grounds. I wont be going to Franchise, Yeovil or Colchester. Just find those 3 grounds too depressing.

Great opener against Brighton. Ideal. Fixture with some rivalry, they will bring a great following. Dont mind Hartlepool, because its one of the few away ends left in the league where you can get some decent support going with a small following. Hopefully it will be a bit like the 2006 opener up there, that was brilliant. I'm gona go up on the train.

September, really good home games that should let us know who the real challengers are in the league. Southampton, Huddersfield and Plymouth at home, in some decent weather? Always go to Walsall.

October, Dagenham away, new ground. Peterborough away, good away end. Rovers at home on a saturday, need a good win against them this season.

November and pre christmas december, the worst part of the season. Good fixtures are wasted at this time of the season. Not many away games I want to go to, which is good. Maybe do Rochdale (new ground for me).

Christmas looks good to me. Dissapointed we wont be able to do group savers on the train to Exeter, have to get some road transport for Boxing day. But thats the only away game, Tranmere, Peterborough and Bournemouth at home should yeild points in front of decent crowds, get our season going.

Jan. Hopefully still be in the FAC so Orient away will be moved to a better time of year. Another freezing away day at the Memorial ground.

Feb, Bournemouth game will depend on how well the team is playing. Saints on a saturday, very nice. Carling cup final. Easy. Wont be going to Col U, no way.

Dissapointed with March. Pretty crap really. All 3 away games depend on how the team is playing. Plymouth midweek, Huddersfield and Brighton all hard work.

April. Very nice saturday tie at Brentford late on in the season, like it. Lots of home games which we'll need a massive points haul from. Hate being away on the April bank holliday monday and I think its going to spoil what would have been an attractive fixture at Wednesday. Everyone's had too much on the weekend and is on a downer, waiting for work on the way home. Terrible traffic.  I dont think Ive been up north on a bank holliday monday since about 2005 at Tranmere Rovers. That really was the journey home from hell. Sobering up on the way back, stuck in traffic, work looming.

Which leads us on to Tranmere away last game. Strange old lot, Tranmere. Never know what they are going to be like. Been there 3 times and still havnt formed an opinion of them. Dont know how they'll react to having a big Swindon following if we're in the mixer. FAC final for Wembley this time thanks, were already promoted.

Yup. Barry Corr scored a curler from the edge of the area.

and adje missed it buying me a cup of tea :)

Ah it's coming back to me, twas at the open end

i must be in the minority as i like colchesters new ground.
i think it suits them fine and the transport links were good from the station.
it aint really out of town either is it? was only about 5 mins on the bus

Yes it is. 

I agree with Spencer (well I usually do...)

Col U's new ground is truly horrid. Soulless, out of town and supporter-free.

I won't be going back there again, ever.

how do grounds have souls? does old = a ground with a soul?

i dont get what's wrong with colchesters?it's a tidy little ground imo.it's the right size for them and does the job well.good view,etc,etc.
the pitch was dire though.

now if we are talking shit grounds,the bescot for a newish ground is dire.all those fucking poles in the way.

Yes, I do think old ground = ground with a soul

The Weston Homes Community Stadium (nice corporate name to add to the souless feel) could be any 'new ground'...there's no individuality any more. If some one took you blind folded to Layer Road, you would know when they took the blind fold off, where you were. Similarly, you would know if you were at Gay Meadow. These days though, the only way you would know the difference between the two would be the writing on the seats spelling out CUFC or STFC.

It's no one's fault, but the problem with new grounds is that they have no soul. That's why I'm so glad we're having the CG redeveloped  instead of having a new ground built.

And like so many other 'new grounds', it is in the middle of some industrial park with no facilities around it whatsoever. At Stoke's old Victoria Ground for example, you could get off the train, stroll to a pub right next to the station and then a further 5 minute walk via the chippy would get you to the ground. These days its a two mile hike or you have to piss about with buses. I know which I prefer.

Col U's ground is way out of town. If it was any further out it would be in Suffolk!

The ground itself is perfectly functional and is certainly more than big enough for Colchester's somewhat feeble support. But it's just horrible.

good post ost, and i take your points.
i went to the old stoke ground and it rocked.but football has and is changing.

colchester must be small, as the bus ride was very short from the station to the ground.

You are ignoring the DETAILS. You are right in what you say above, but there is more to it. Other than that, you are guessing - I have actual knowledge of what goes on. It doesn't bother me if you don't want to listen.

It seems to bother you a little.  You used capitals - this shows some form of "bothered-ness".

Spencer you obviously know what you're talking about, but other people do too. Using phrases like "don't know what you're typing", and "clearly bollocks" makes you look like a God-Almighty, & you could perhaps demonstrate some more humility. Part of my enjoyment of the TEF is the learning in certain areas, but also I know what I'm talking about on plenty of subjects.

You've completely ignored my comments about the police ensuring that they have the necessary resources for high-profile fixtures. If they changed every game where there is potential trouble, there wouldn't be many Saturday games left. If they're confident, there's no need for change. It just depends what's going on in that particular area at that time. Don't blame me if they get it wrong - ask them! It's not just other football matches - think about all the other things that happen which require a police presence, football isn't the only thing in the world. I forget where it was but we had a wierd k/o time recently because of an animal-rights protest. Somebody will no doubt tell me which game this was.

Like I said, I am aware of the procedures because of my Dad's involvement. If you want to ignore this, I'm not bothered. They do change certain fixtures - not always the biggest ones (Bmouth/Plymouth away??) - but anything to help with keeping costs down & making things easier to manage.

Call me arrogant or whatever you want. But this post is total bullshit. Stuff like this reaks of Police/Media propoganda designed to divide the fans.

Thats the reason you've taken some flack from plenty of posters, its because you did pin 100% blame on Swindon followers for us not getting saturday away games at Bournemouth and Plymouth.

If you say things like that then youve got to back it up. We've had plenty of saturday games at those grounds. Our last 2 games at Plymouth were on saturdays. Our last 3 games with Bournemouth were on satudays, and the 1 before that on a bank holliday monday in August! Sooner or later we will get a fixture for every club we play on a tuesday night, law of averages.

I think one thing you can say with banning orders and bail restrictions nowadays is that things change very quickly in terms of football groups, who's hot and who's not if you like? At the moment Swindon's mob is quiet. Probably the least active its been in 10 years.

The Police know that, and thats the reason I dont believe weve been denied saturday games at those 2 clubs. I think its just coincidence. And if the Police have denied us saturday games at those 2 clubs then its no one elses fault but the overeaction of the Police forces of those 2 clubs. Your conclusion to blame Swindon's support doesnt make sense, despite everything else you've said being correct.

Our last 3 games at Swansea have been tuesday night games. It means you cant use the train for that fixture. Thats the sort of strong evidence you need if your going to start blaming Swindon fans for shitty fixtures.

 Spence....last time at Bormuff, there was trouble, that's all that's needed for it to be booked in mid week.  Bormuff have always been a bit wary of STFC, back in the 80's you couldn't get a beer anywhere near Dean Court on a matchday, as the pubs were told to close.  >:(

Plymuff is more likely coincidental....

The FL can't really win with midweek games. If they give us long haul ones, people moan because of needing time off work etc. If they give us local ones, which, relatively speaking, Bournemouth and Plymouth are, it can be seen as ruining good days out. Just need to make do with what we're given I guess.

Not a lot. By far and away the worst trouble we had down there was the 18th December 2004 match. Had 2 saturday games down there since then.

Edit - Ive made an error, this post below include friendlies and stuff - so useless.

there are a few teams we could do with beating this season for the record book.

Weve had 64 wins against Bristol Rovers, 64 losses. 31 wins each with Walsall. 18 wins each with Peterborough. 26 wins each with Colchester.

Weve had 54 wins against Brighton to their 53 (yes thats right Brighton, were better than you). 26 wins over Orient and 25 losses. Yeovil and Franchise, both 5 wins to their 3. 13 defeats against Sheffield Wednesday and 12 wins. Dagenham, 1 defeat and a draw from 2 games (Doh!).

Of the current Football League teams there are only 33 that weve got the better of over history. Weve had a better record over history of 13 teams out of the 23 current other league 1 clubs. Great chance to add another 6 clubs to that list this season. By the end of this season we could have got the better of 19 out of the 23 current league 1 clubs!

Heh! heh!





Statto 8)




We do owe Rovers a couple of good trashings though.

  You want to be a bit more selective with these stats Spence....nicking them off Richard Banyard's site, includes lots of strange stuff like War Time fixtures, which aren't too relevant.

 Also we've never played D and R.....the Dagenham we played in the cup is a different outfit.

 A stat worth contemplating is that we've beaten all the eligible 91 in league or some 1st class cup comps, over the years...apart from D and R and Burton A, who we've never played.

Sorry, right you are Reg.

Weve beaten Rovers 43 times to their 37. Not really even close. Brighton have 41 wins to our 39 (doh!), so we could draw level with them this season?

So out of the 91 other clubs in the league, weve got the better of 36 clubs (competitive league, FA Cup and Football League competitions).

STFC still have a better record over 13 of the 23 league 1 clubs.

We could add another 5 clubs to that list during this league season. Dagenham & R (as Reg says weve never played them before), Walsall (31 wins each), Peterborough (18 wins each), Colchester (26 wins each) and suprisingly, Sheffield Wednesday (12 wins and 13 defeats).

If you're into this sort of thing, thats still quite a lot of clubs we could get the better of this league season?

I find you quite interesting. Not to mention bemusing. So in your world people can't put an opinion forward unless they have evidence to back it up?! It is a reasonable view, based on the procedures that I'm aware of - any level-headed person will agree with that. You're saying about trains to Swansea - how is this "strong evidence"?! Hoolies are incapable of travelling on the road then? Sorry but that's laughable. I take it you're not a lawyer. Post a video clip of someone from the Football League or Police saying that this is the reason then I'll believe you.

You're completely consumed by me blaming Town fans, when I was talking about potential trouble from both sides, I wasn't singling out Town fans. I've seen plenty of it with these teams over a long period of time, and I know there are feelings there. "Flack from plenty of posters"? It was 2.

You're telling me that I've got an agenda but I'm just offering an opinion, and connecting it to things that I know to be true. Fuck me you've gone OTT here. Are you always this sensitive when people talk about yobbos? hmmmm, it doesn't look like I'm the one with the agenda, eh......   

the "strong evidence" was that the last 3 away trips to Swansea have been tuesday night games. Once you get 3 in a row I cant believe thats a coincidence. Regarding the trains, thats my theory of why we never seem to get saturday games there. Theres literally only 1 road in and out of Swansea, which makes it easy to police. The law on football and road travel (particularly coach travel) is also extremely strict. Its not that they are incapable, just makes travelling much harder work.

If Ive got an agenda its getting rid of football myths.

In terms of police moving football fixtures we dont have a lot to moan about? I dont think weve ever even had a 'bubble game' where all supporters have to travel on supporters coach. We're under nothing like the restrictions of clubs like Bristol City.

One other theory I have about tuesday night games is that although they reduce turnout, they are also much harder to police. On a saturday, most games have a predictable routine. Away fans turn up about 11, find a pub, pub is empty and they stick out like a sore thumb, so police find them. On a tuesday you might have fans turning up at anytime from midday to 6pm. Obviously its dark, much less visibility. Also much more drinking time before the game. Leeds last season was much more aggravation than the 2 saturday games beforehand. Southampton away, very moody. To be honest I was crapping it about getting Millwall in a play off semi in midweek. If Swindon are doing well, I think those 2 fixtures (Bournemouth & Plymouth) could be much more lively because they are tuesday night games.

The Swansea games have also been all ticket, as one year I went about 3pm to get a ticket after work and STFC has sent them back so I couldnt get one.

The Swansea home games, we've had one on New Years Day and the other was New Years Eve.

Coupled in with away games being mid week, kind of leads towards Spencers point being right.

Dave, Dave, Dave! How many times does One F in Fitton have to say that he isn't bothered before people realise that he isn't bothered?! I don't think I've ever come across anyone less bothered in all my life.  I'd go as far as saying that his lack of botheredness reaches levels that I'd previously thought impossible. I don't want to see you or Spencer White on this thread again unless it's to apologise.

Dave - I went to the last Swansea away game, and we definitely paid on the night - I remember getting sent to the ticket office. But if the police have had an influence on the Swansea games - you've only served to back-up my point! All I said was that they decide to move certain games, and for the others they just ensure that they have enough resources to be able to do their job properly (this second point has been ignored so many times that I've now lost count). Another very important consideration is the yearly budgets of the relevant police forces and the clubs, which can change drastically every year, therefore making some seasons look very different to others.

The word 'evidence' is getting looser and looser on here. Lots of semi-cooked theories and guesswork. I was shouted down, but the truth is that none of us know for sure. Like I've said all along, at least I admit that mine is only an opinion.

This Spacey fella appears at interesting times, and with an interesting attitude. As long as it makes you happy......

'I'll scratch your eyes out, you bitch'.


I  wonder if Bristol Rovers are planning on calling in the Queen's Tap again when they trvel to Poxford in the League Cup.

wont let me change the file extension when I "save as" Sam

Just do it in the file name. Call it fixtures.csv or whatever, and just save the file type as .txt.
