Over the weekend, though obviously it’d have been nice to be involved, we saw the play-off finals take place.
Indeed, we now know who we’ll be facing in 2018/19 in the Championship as we look to finally get out of this league and back into the Premier League.
Whether or not we do, of course, remains to be seen but at least we now know where we’ll be heading to try and achieve that.
Swansea, West Brom, Stoke, Wigan, Blackburn and Rotherham all come into the division for the new season and the club has posted about that on Twitter:

Let’s take a look at the response from our fans to this post, then, with some reactions perhaps a tad sarcastic…

The Verdict
There’s going to be some good away days next season by the looks of things.
We’ve got a lot of clubs in Yorkshire, the North-West and the Midlands in the league for next season and so we should be able to get to them with ease.
Now the boys just need to perform when we turn up!
