It’s Ipswich Town away first for Fulham on August 9 - and any game between the two conjures up distant memories of two great Christmas games in 1963.

The Whites hammered the Tractor Boys, actually slaughtered is closer the truth, 10-1 on Boxing Day, and this was the same Ipswich team that 18 months earlier had been the equivalent of Premier League champions under Alf Ramsey.

Alan Mullery remembers the game. As he said: 'I scored the ninth.' The former England international and briefly QPR manager, added that two days later Fulham went to Ipswich and were beaten 4-2. 'There always used to be strange results at Christmas,' he said.

In the 10-1 win, Graham Leggat scored the fastest ever English league hat-trick in just three minutes.

The Whites are then at home in a Capital derby against Millwall the following Saturday (August 16), and follow that  by entertaining Wolves at the Cottage four days later on Wednesday, August 20.

The Boxing Day game this time is down on the South Coast at Bournemouth. Two days later the South Coast comes to Fulham in the shape of Brighton.

The Whites end the season at familiar Premier League foes Norwich on May 2. By then, they hope the campaign will see them back in the top flight.
