The wait is finally over as the League One fixtures have this morning been unveiled and as a result, Rovers have been handed an opening day home match against Chesterfield.......
The League One fixtures have this morning been released and Rovers have been handed a home match versus Chesterfield on the opening day of the season on Saturday 6th August which is then followed by the midweek away trip to Championship side Doncaster Rovers in the first round of the Carling Cup as confirmed yesterday morning.
Following that game in Yorkshire, Rovers will travel to Leyton Orient on the second Saturday of the season as the season gets underway quickly with three games in eight days.
Over the busy festive and new year period, Rovers will face a home tie on Boxing Day against Rochdale, before a home game against Bury in the last game of 2011 on new years eve and an away tie against Sheffield Wednesday in the opening game of 2012.
Rovers Will Travel to Hillsborough on 2nd January
Over the Easter weekend, Rovers will face Stevenage at home on Saturday April 7th and MK Dons away on Monday April 9th before finishing off the season with a home match against Scunthorpe at Prenton Park.
Other notable games during the season include a first ever visit to Chesterfield’s brand new B2Net Stadium on Saturday 3rd March and home and away games against newly relegated Sheffield United on Saturday 20th August (home) and Saturday 17th March (away) as well as Preston North End on Saturday 11th February (home) and Saturday 24th September (away).

Pleased with our away/your home date as that's 3 weeks before my son's birthday and he was desperate to get one of our games near then so he gets his new Jamaica kit!

Thanks to Mikey for posting this story for us and just a reminder not ot post full fixture lists here as they removed either by us or Sportnetwork (whoever sees it first!).
Another stupid stat.
I am really happy with the fixtures though. December see's three home games and one away, if these all get called off like they usually do, it means only adding one Tuesday night away trip which is helpful.
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.
