So Hyodo gets to face the club he turned his back on early on. The full fixture list is known to clubs and individual fixtures are leaking out, but the official release is due February 2nd (a fortnight tomorrow). I'll be hammering away at my keyboard to bring you all the fixtures as soon as they're out.

S-Pulse Fixtures for 2010

Oh, yes! The 2010 J. League fixtures were released today, so here they are for your viewing pleasure. With over a month still to go before the big kick off, there's plenty of time to get planning your away days. Topping my list of must-hit stadiums are both C and G Osaka, Yamagata, Sendai and Niigata. Thankfully those games are all spread out over the year, so I might just be able to do it if can I save enough pennies.

Right after the World Cup break comes the biggest game of the season, the home derby, which is set for a balmy summer night on July 17th, kick off 6.30pm. August 22nd, the one year anniversary of the biggest Shizuoka Derby victory in history, will give us an chance to repeat the feat when we head off to Ecopa for the return match with Iwata. We end the season at home to Emperor's Cup winners Gamba Osaka. Don't know about you, but I can't wait to get back into the football groove!

Kick off times are only confirmed up to match 21, and all home games are at Nihondaira unless otherwise stated. So without further ado:

Practice Matches1) February 6th (Sat) S-Pulse 2-1 Tochigi

Kagoshima Camp
1) February 10th (Wed) S-Pulse 6-0 Roasso Kumamoto (Two game aggregate)
2) February 13th (Sat) S-Pulse 4-2 Ventforet Kofu (Two game aggregate)

Not a bad fixture list, and as it turns out we weren't wrong about the Omiya opener!

There's rather too many Sunday games for my liking, including the otherwise easy away days of Kawasaki, Marinos, Nagoya and Jubilo all on Sundays. What with work early on a Monday morning, these being on Sundays is going to impact on whether I can get to them or not. The Derby is a given though, obviously!

The trek out to Ecopa for the home game with Urawa is a pain, but home advantage isn't as important for this one as it is for the derby, (which is at 'Daira), so we may as well milk the Red travelling army for as much as we can in gate receipts. Security issues have been officially cited as a reason why this one is to be at Ecopa, and add this to the fact it falls at the start of the Golden Week national holiday bonanza, and we may well see way more through the gates than 'Daira's 20000 limit. Either way, it'll be fun to use Ecopa as a home ground - it's been a while!

Well, the home derby at 'Daira on a summer Saturday night will be awesome, and it's the one out of that lot I really can't wait for, but I guess that's a no brainer. If it's anything like as heated and electric as the 2-1 win back in '07, then we're in for a cracking night. There's a number of potentially huge BDOs in there too, Gamba, Hiroshima and Nagoya to name but three!
