I’m not but I’m expecting 7 or 9 points from the first three. It’s been a long long time since we’ve achieved that.

That would be a flying start! Let's hope you're not disappointed

I normally have a few beers and get a taxi after the game but I need to get into town earlier today. What's the crack with the train these days? Is it still stopped for a period after the game? Timetables suggest its running as normal.

Always the worst thing about being on holiday, missing the start of the season! Fingers crossed for a good result.

robbiekeane · 2025-08-09T07:08:11+0100

can’t sleep but got to wake up at 4:20am for this. 11pm and i’m giddy in bed like it’s christmas eve

We’re back, Christ iv‘e missed this, opening day win, enjoy

Sky Blue Goblin · 2025-08-09T07:35:21+0100

Come on @Saddlebrains whats the squad?

TomRad85 · 2025-08-09T08:28:19+0100

2-1 win today. One of either Simms or BTA simply has to be better this season so I'll back whichever one starts to score and then the obvious, Rudoni.

torchomatic · 2025-08-09T08:35:28+0100

Love the first game of a new season. Sunny day, walking up those steps and seeing the pitch again (feels different to those pointless friendlies).

These hours before the game when you feel anything is possible.

We have, in theory, a favourable first few games, so let's not fuck it up eh, Frank?

ptr · 2025-08-09T08:40:40+0100

Can’t wait for Simms to score twice and get a 5 on ratings tonight

AOM · 2025-08-09T08:46:03+0100

Can't believe the season is already starting again. Only feels like yesterday since the last one finished.

2-0 win, but first fixture of the season can bring up some weird results

LastGarrison · 2025-08-09T08:58:47+0100

Tight game.

1-0.

Winny the Bish · 2025-08-09T09:11:22+0100

Never been more buzzing for an unconvincing 1-0 win

Briles · 2025-08-09T09:16:51+0100

Any excuse to dust this off.

2-0 win. Simms and Thomas.

Draw or loss,slow start, meltdown, before it all clicks and we march towards the lottery of the play offs.
Or, good start, dip, meltdown, before we march towards the lottery of the play offs.

Bristol sky blue · 2025-08-09T09:38:46+0100

1-1 draw I reckon, Thomas header from a corner

I think the thing that concerns me the most is often in the Championship, we (and others) are completely at the mercy of a referee. Couple of poor decisions (Plymouth last season…) and it doesn’t really matter if you’re the better team.

Simms starts, scores a brace and begins his redemption season.

Been really busy the last few days, so not had a chance to read here and join the excitement.

Therefore I repeat my earlier prediction; Simms’ redemption arc starts today…..

Genuinely buzzing for this!

I'll get to the ground for 12.35... hopefully it improves after that.

The other thing is, we could play really well, still lose, and people on here will have a meltdown saying we deserved it. They won’t take in the nuances of the game and won’t acknowledge luck and football chaos can sometimes be the deciding factors.

But also, I’m still looking forward to the in game match thread

Would imagine that's about right. 590 seats left according to my magical seat counter, but it's been fluctuating as they open more areas. Back area of 5, and 24/25/26 are the big blocks of seats left, and as we know, hospitality will be nowhere near capacity.

Rushworth
KKH Bauer Doyle Toffolo

I think this is a huge season for ellis in terms of his future here and I fancy him to have a better season than last year .

Me too. Hopefully starting with a goal today!

He really does have the attributes to transform us from playoff contender to auto contender if he gets it right
