Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere,but does anyone know when fixtures are being announced?

Not sure but the full 2023 fixtures were released on 3rd November last year so I imagine similar this year.

Guess our first game will be away. Wouldn't mind a trip down to London for the first up

Our Round One record since 2014

The definition of "it's not how you start, it's how you finish".

Fixtures expected to be confirmed week beginning 20th November and Hull Live are suggesting that we could start with a home derby.

What a way to kick start the season or destroy any optimism immediately that would be!

That would be great and also for the club
could easily be 20000 plus for that game

Agree with Bonaire as it's probably the best time for a home derby to get a good crowd given our terrible form the past few seasons particularly at home and the false dawns. Strike while the air of optimism is abound before it evaporates and take advantage of the anticipation of the new season after no rugby for 4 months. Also the auld enemy will be frothing at the mouth at the thought of facing a skint club with no hope of bettering 10th

The 2020 home Derby was a great atmosphere. That was only round 2, not sure on the attendance but I'd guess it was in and around 20k.

As long as the west upper stays home fans only too

North Stand Members have been advised they'll be relocated for the Derby Fixtures which means Rovers will get the full North.

Under no circumstances should they have any allocation in the upper West, its just asking for more trouble.

Yes, 19,599.

Rovers are the only side to beat us in a round one fixture since 2014 - the last minute Keinhorst try at CP in 2019. They also beat us in round one in 2011 at Cardiff.
