Fixture list

[Alex MacLeod]

Does anyone know when this will be released. Surely, with no disputes next season, the list should be out by now.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

The SPL are waiting for Gretna to formally announce where they will be playing their home games. I am told that Mileson is offering monies to the SPL to allow Gretna to play in Carlisle.

[RossP]

Its released on June the 14th, with the first SPL game taking place on Aug 4th

[RiG]

Dave Dargo will be able to predict who we have on the first game for the 3rd season in a row  :003:

I hope our first game is away cos i wont be back from hols till 5th  :rolleyes02:

[Alex MacLeod]

Away v Gretna??

[chris123]

I think if the pattern of promoted teams is worth going on Gretna will probably be away from home

[The Mantis]

St Mirren got an away fixture, why I don't know, as it's supposed to be traditional for the champions to get a home fixture to fly the flag.

Falkirk got a home fixture (v us).

In 1994, we should have got a home fixture, but I think the SPL had already made up the fixtures with Partick included in the league and gave them an away fixture. When we got in, I reckon they just took the lazy way out and gave us the Partick fixtures, which is why we got daft things like Kilmarnock at New Year as a derby.

[DaveDargo]

1st season: 1st game in SPL away to Livi last game before split Dundee at home

2nd season: 1st game Falkirk away (replaced Dundee) last game before split Livingston away

3rd Season: 1st game St Mirren home (replaced livi) last game before split Falkirk home

Next season: 1st game Falkirk away? last game before split St Mirren away?

[Ritchie Sacramento]

I'd go with that :022:

[Mee]

I reckon we'll be away to Gretna for the first fixture too.

And our matches against Rangers will be on the same day at the Edinburgh derby (as they have been the last 2 seasons iirc)

[Guest kingkojak]

:012:

[alternative maryhill]

Hopefully Rangers away. Always good to start the season with a stick-on 3 pointer.  :004:

If we end up going to Carlisle for Gretna don't you just bet it will be an early kick off as well. Will the SPL be offering reduced B and B  rates in Gretna the night before?

We wont end up going to Carlisle - Gretna have a groundshare with Motherwell and will be playing all their home fixtures at Fir Park until Raydale is compliant. As they havent even got planning permission or produced architectural plans to redevelop Raydale or build another stadium, it might take a while (which is the crux of the Dunfermline / St Mirren protest)

[us2]

Thank goodness for that imagine having to watch a SPL match in ENGLAND!!! :001:

I had heard about the groundshare with Motherwell and should have realised that IHE's posts are normally tounge in cheek no offence meant.

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Shame. Carlisle would have been like a home game for me, just a mere 300 miles!  Seriously, I know it won't happen, but from Gretna's point of view, Carlisle would have been a far better option than Motherwell.  I think they would have attracted quite a few Carlisle fans just from the curiosity factor alone

Yeah but it would an absolute **** of a journey for us :rolleyes02:

[DJS]

My predictions for first round of matches are

Falkirk (h)

Rangers (a)

Gretna (h)

Killie (a)

Dundee United (h)

Motherwell (a)

Hearts (a)

Celtic (h)

Hibs (h)

Aberdeen (a)

St Mirren (h)

:004: :004:

[ymip]

Gretna playing in Carlisle will never happen due to the potential aggro factor.  Carlisle fans were involved in a serious attack on Scotland fans en route to Wembley in the eighties and they still have an element attached to the club who would be delighted at the thought of Scottish fans visiting Brunton Park every fortnight.

Aint going to happen....

[The Fly]

In 1994, we should have got a home fixture, but I think the SPL had already made up the fixtures with Partick included in the league ...

I can tell you're getting old, things that happened less than three years ago already seem like over a decade in the distant past  :015: :015: :015:

LOL, it's the other way round!

[DaveDargo]

1st season: 1st game in SPL away to Livi last game before split Dundee at home

2nd season: 1st game Falkirk away (replaced Dundee) last game before split Livingston away

3rd Season: 1st game St Mirren home (replaced livi) last game before split Falkirk home

Next season: 1st game Falkirk away? last game before split St Mirren away?

Obviously the SPL upgraded their "fixture computer" then  :014:

You are pure useless ken?
