BRISTOL BOUND

Posted on: Thu 21 Jun 2007

QPR travel to Ashton Gate - the home of newly promoted Bristol City - on the opening day of the 2007/08 Coca Cola Championship campaign.

John Gregory's side kick off the new season by facing Gary Johnson's men on Saturday 11th August, before playing host to Cardiff City at Loftus Road seven days later.

The last time Rangers met the Championship newcomers was in April 2004, when a solitary Christian Roberts strike handed the hosts all three points at Ashton Gate.

The R's overall league record against the Robins makes for far better reading though, with Rangers enjoying 26 victories against the Bristolians, as opposed to City's 24 wins. There have been 18 draws between the two sides.

Other eye-catching pre-Christmas fixtures include the home clash against local rivals Watford on Saturday 22nd September and the short trip to the Valley - home of Alan Pardew's Charlton Athletic - on Saturday 27th October.

The Boxing Day fixture hasn't been too kind to the R's yet again, with a long trip to Home Park - the home of Ian Holloway's Plymouth Argyle side - on the agenda for the second time in four seasons.

Leicester City - bankrolled by Milan Mandaric's millions - visit Loftus Road on New Years Day, while the R's host play-off runners-up West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the season (Sunday 4th May), at the end of what is sure to be another keenly contested Championship campaign.
