Or even 15th!

The vast majority we have met in League 2 over the last decade or so.

[P/T Indie]

Lots of Northern teams there, I think are more excited about the away games next season Stadium of Light, The Valley, Hillsborough

[Arnside Red]

Ha, I really wouldnt class Hillsborough as a ground to look forward to visiting, crumbling, falling down, dangerous...awful ground, but Donny Rovers, Bolton, Rotherham, Wigan and Sunderland, though we have already been there of course...bring it on.....having said that can,t wait to see us stuff the Owls at home

[Andy D]

lets all remember that 4 teams drop from this division!


so its not like L2 of old, just hoping there's going to be 2 teams worse that us.

Sheffield Wednesday look in a mess and could end up doing a Bolton Wan*er-ers all the way to the bottom. While not taking any delight in seeing any club in a mess, it may be what defines our next season.

Thurs 24 June.

From the EFL1 games I've seen on the television it looks to be more technical and quicker than EFL2 but DA has experience of EFL1 so we should be well prepared.

[MFC-Manc]

Some great home and away games there.....
Still can’t believe we are playing Sheffield Wednesday in a league game

Sheffield Wednesday that will be one away game to look for, especially with our Morecambe/Liverpool fans at Hillsborough remembering that FA Cup Tradgity

[Westgate Wanderer]

Also we will be welcoming Ipswich Town to our ground as just another league game! Who would've ever imagined that when we played them in the FA Cup all those years ago? A Premier League side now playing in the same division as us!

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Just hope we are back watching games week in week out. Hillsborough a new one for me. Love the old stadiums and this is one of the best.

UTS.

Stand to be corrected, but as far as I can see, 13 of these teams have at some time played in the Conference.

Six of the teams we have never played in the EFL..
Charlton
Ipswich
Sheff Wed
Sunderland
Doncaster R (have played in Conference)
Wigan A (have played in N. Prem & Lancs Comb)

So perhaps we will be treated with more respect than when we first joined the EFL.

[P/T Indie]

In one way that looks a very strong league for next season and no real perennial strugglers there but on the other hand Accy & Fleetwood managed to finish 11th & 15th which gives us hope.

We played Doncaster in League 2 16-17 season. Lost 5-1 at home & drew 1-1 away
