The Fixtures!

We kick off our campaign in the Championship away at Sheffield Wednesday. Hooray! The bad news is, the game will be at 4.30pm on Sunday 7th August to suit the needs of Sky telly. Boo!

Our first home game is on Saturday 13th August against Rotherham and the Yorkshire themed opening to the season continues three days later when Huddersfield Town rock up at Villa Park.

The all important derby games against the Blues are at St Andrews on 29th October and Villa Park on 22nd April. That Villa Park clash could prove pivotal if we are in the running for either automatic promotion or a play-off spot.

Wolves visit on 16th October and we head for Molineux on 14th January.

We've got a Villa Park double header at Christmas with Burton Albion on Boxing Day and dirty Leeds on New Years Eve.

Our last away trip of the campaign will be up at Blackburn Rovers and we see out the season with a home clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

All fixtures are likely to be pissed about with by Sky Sports.
