First Match - Who Will We Play?

Wonder if anybody will get some ITK on it today?

IIRC somebody called Arenal v Sunderland and Saudi Sportswashing Machine v Spurs the day before last seasons fixtures came out
 
arse, chelsea, utd all at home with 2 of the 3 playing against newly promoted sides. We'll be away to someone like liverpool, everton.
 
The Football League is to mark the 125th anniversary of its first season in 1888-89 with a programme of anniversary fixtures to be played on the opening weekend of the 2013-14 campaign.

The six matches will feature founder members of the world's original league football competition, as well as other pairings of historical significance, and be part of the overall league programme.

In the Championship, four founder members will go head to head with Derby County, league champions in 1972 and 1975, hosting Blackburn Rovers, champions of England in 1912, 1914 and 1995.

The Lancashire rivals Burnley and Bolton Wanderers will face each other at Turf Moor, one of only three grounds used in the 1888-89 league season that is still in use today. The two clubs have met each other in league football on 114 occasions.

Another of the original grounds, Deepdale, will host the meeting of founder members Preston North End and Wolverhampton Wanderers in League One. Since hosting its first league match on the opening day of the very first season, Deepdale has staged 2,342 Football League matches, more than any other stadium.

Also in League One, the world's oldest Football League club, Notts County, will be the visitors at the world's oldest professional football ground – Bramall Lane, home of Sheffield United.

In League Two, Accrington Stanley will visit the Football League's newest ground and newest member: Rodney Parade, the home of the re-formed Newport County. Hartlepool United will visit Rochdale in the 137th encounter between the two clubs: the most played Football League match between current members.

The Football League chairman Greg Clarke said: "For 125 years, Football League clubs have delivered a compelling spectacle, week after week. In the process, attracting a total audience of more than 2.2 billion people and building indelible relationships with their local communities.

"We look forward to celebrating 125 years of incredible matches, unforgettable moments and intense footballing rivalry."

On Twitter now.

Arse home to Hull................

Only thing that makes me doubt it is Chelsea not at home to a promoted team..........away to SCBC
 
Away again? That's like 15 times now.

Anyway I don't really care who we have, just as long as we don't waste the first few games so we can save a few quid on signings.

Is it fake as Newport are playing accrington Stanley first ?
 
I thought that...

but the Football League starts the week before so in theory these could be the leaked fixtures for 17 August (PL gameweek 1 and FL 2).
