Fixture release day is always an exciting day in the footballing calendar.
Fans take hours out of their workday to work out when to start planning their trips to grounds up and down the country and whether or not they get an easy game at Christmas.
That is of course until the TV companies decide to change your games around, but what can you do…
I bet SKY are rearranging it at this very moment ????????

But why release the fixtures now? You know SKY will change them.

So what did Leeds United fans make of the news? After their impressive season last year ended in disappointment at the hands of Derby in the playoff semi-final, Leeds fans have spent the summer desperately hoping that this season won’t be a repeat of last and under the stewardship of Marcelo Bielsa, finally make it back to the Premier League after more than 15 years away.
So when the fixtures were released this morning, Leeds fans immediately jumped on Twitter to post how they felt the fixtures had panned out, and it seemed that the thing on most people’s minds was when to start planning the promotion party, although they couldn’t work out which date to book the champagne.
I really do see 46 Leeds wins when I look at those fixtures. The short break has restored my blind optimism.

Don’t mean to get carried away but I don’t see how we lose any of these games

Our last home game in the premier league was against Charlton, it will also be our last home game in the Championship. MOT
