And Bristol City will kick off their season with a game against Nottingham Forest. Aitor Karanka's side will visit Ashton Gate on the opening weekend - with the balloon fiesta the weekend after ensuring that the Robins are then away from home in round two as per normal. Following the visit of the Tricky Trees it's on the road to Bolton before Middlesbrough come visit. Trips to London - for the first mid-week game - to take on QPR and over the Bridge to Swansea City then await the Robins before the first international break. Brentford will visit BS3 on Boxing Day. But it's away to Stoke to see in the new year. The season rounds off with a trip to Hull, with City having to go to Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday in their two prior final games on the road. Villa visit Ashton Gate on 29 September and Leeds come over on 9 March. Bristol City should be pleased with their start to the season, with two games against bottom half sides from last season to begin on the road before a tasty-looking fixture in Wales. It all kicks off again on 4 August and we can't wait. All game dates and times subject to change, of course. City have also released details of their new kits today too.
