1 month since the list was released, and the first ticket sale is today.
On the games themselves, it was in general a good fixture list, getting most difficult away trips sorted early, and if we do a good job in the more mundane games, we have a nice run in to take advantage of earlier results.
Unfortunately we have to go to both the main manc clubs after Christmas. But the first trip to mancland is to Burnley, a ground I've never liked us going to against a workmanlike, stubborn team, but it's a good trip to get out of the way early. The big prize of course is the last game at home for the first time in 3 years to a promoted, possibly relegated club, and an ideal fixture if a result is needed.
We are also the last club to play a home game this season, but Anfield may still see some action in August, if there's a home game in the League Cup. Overall, bar the 2 manc clubs, I'm happy enough with what we got. Let's take advantage of it now.
