Wolverhampton Wanderers will kick off their Sky Bet Championship campaign with yet another opening day trip to Blackburn Rovers.

Quite incredibly, it will be the third time in 12 years Wolves will open a season at Ewood Park.

The previous two fixtures, which heralded a crushing 5-1 defeat and a 2-1 win, have come at the start of crusades that, ominously for fans, ended in relegation for Wolves.

The festive fixtures see Wolves host Reading on Boxing Day before travelling to Charlton Athletic two days later.

With no games scheduled for New Year’s Day, Wolves face the long trip to Brighton on January 2.

And they end the season by entertaining Sheffield Wednesday on May 7.

Wolves fans will be hoping for revenge against Midland rivals Blues, having only taken one point from them last season.

Kenny Jackett’s men will have their chance to exact some frightening revenge when they travel to St Andrew’s on October 31, (Halloween Night).

The Molineux return is scheduled for March 12.
