6-0 was on the last day of the season. The last time we opened against Norwich it was 5-0. http://www.fulhamfc.com/first-team/2012_2013/league/home/norwich-city

It's a tough 46 match program.
23 teams standing in our way.
That's the challenge, and we must meet it head on.
The club now know the pathway to the promised land, and should be well prepared to overcome all obstacles.
No excuses, just make sure we have a team well prepared.
Canaries are as good as anyone to start with, and I am glad we have The Royals early, it's back to the scene of the crime, revenge will be sweet.

Strange how we have fellow promotion candidates in the first month. It doesn't matter when we play them though they all need to be beaten

Santa covers some ground at Christmas but we give him a run for his money.  Go west to Cardiff on Boxing Day then east 4 days later to Hull.  Thanks Fixture Computer.

Really going to be a tough August, 5 very difficult matches and no gimmies! Our season could be defined by how many points we manage from those games.

as i said wasnt sur eif that was the 5-0 or 6-0 on last game of the season, we always seem to have games every now and again against Norwich where we score a few

[Woolly Mammoth]

I don't look at it being one months matches that defines anything. No more than I do regarding the first quarter of an hour of a match.
It's the first 90 mins that are the most important, just as the first 46 League matches are the most important.
Last Season Newcastle lost their first match and won the Championship.
Fulham won their first match and are back to square one.

The 1st 4 games are difficult to predict as all teams will have various numbers of new players that will have to bed in. This is why we have to sign new players sooner rather than later.

I was so happy after that performance.  Does my memory serve me correct that we then sold Dembele & Dempsey the following week?

With Reading and Wednesday in the first four fixtures it is looking like a re run of the play offs. A tough start for us.

All true but at the end of the season three points from the first match can be as important as three points from the final match,  So lets hope we have our team sorted well before August, we can't afford to be waiting for that new striker to arrive when we are four or five games into the season.

and for them, it's not always the obvious teams that need to be wary of, it's the Wolves and the Birmingham City's that lie in wait. Where we may drop points unnecessarily.

Absolutely agree with all those who say it really doesn't matter when you play a game.  Only the result matters and we proved, in the second half of last season, that we are capable of beating anybody in the Championship.   We just need to start every game as we mean to finish, as runaway Championship winners.

Difficult, but we can do it.

COYW !

Any idea when tickets go on sale?

Don't underestimate the impact a good start creates. Momentum is everything. So it's vital we get our players in earlier and are ready to hit the ground running.

The fact we were always playing catch up cost us in the end. The players seemed to run out of steam whereas Reading and Huddersfield costed into the playoffs and rested players in April/May.
