Straight in with the match of the season on the first day of the season! Surely Pete wants to be there for Barnet's first ever match in League Two (it is still called that this season, isn't it?), and I want to be there for one of two Bristol Rovers London fixtures this year. There was a good crowd for Barnet-Exeter last season, so I'm hoping we can match that this time. I'm excited already!

Provisional yes.

Damn, Rover's Orient fixture is just four weeks later. That could leave me a year and a half after that before I get to see them again, and I suspect it'll be harder getting a crowd out for that one, so soon after a more attractive one. Then again, we have started the last few seasons pretty well, so two early games might mean two good performances, so I shouldn't moan.

one month passes...

Time for a revival I think, since it is the end of next week.

I think this clashes with a social engagement, arrgh

Rovers are also playing at Millwall on the 23rd (I think - league cup) which is not all ticket so that is 3 London games in a month!!

ooh, I'd not seen that! Fantastic! Though I've been there twice between moving to London and Rovers' last relegation and we lost 3-0 twice. Thank you for telling me!

I was at those too. But hope springs eternal...

Yeah, I'll be there again.

Ha, just checked Exeter's fixture for Sep 3rd, since I had two Exeter fans with me for the Orient fixture last year: Exeter are at Dagenham & Redbridge, so no doubting where Tim and Carsmile will be that day.
