Fixtures Out - Excited

So we have the 2015/16 Championship fixtures (Full List) and I am excited just looking at the list. Who knows what next season will bring but let us hope more joy than heartache. At nine o clock this morning, I don’t think there was a football fan anywhere not hooked up in some way to find out their teams fixtures.

Cardiff have a home fixture to kick off their season against Londoners Fulham and the first away game in London the following Saturday at QPR. Those of us interested in the ‘Sevenside’ derby against Bristol City have to wait until mid-October at the Cardiff City stadium with the return fixture over the bridge at the beginning of March. It wouldn’t surprise me if both these fixtures were likely to be subject to change and could be televised.

The festive games see Cardiff travelling to MK Dons on Boxing Day followed two days later with a home game with Nottingham Forest. Come May 7th hopefully for the last game of the season it will be a promotion party game for the visit of Birmingham City.

The effect of the rebrand and a poor 2014/15 season is still hanging over the Cardiff City stadium which is shown in the lack of a take up of season tickets. Therefore, the club will need to entice the on the day walk up fans and that will become oh so important, which will only happen if it is right on the pitch.

The transfer news out of the club has been dead but for the cleaning out of the unwanted. There have been plenty of transfer rumours for fans to mull over. With the backing of the clubs owner manager Russell Slade, needs to prove himself this season with a play-off place or above is what the fans expect.
