The Premier League have announced the fixture release date for the 2008/09 season and there are only 20 days until we find out who the Potters will be kicking off the season against.

Fixtures are released on Monday 16th June and you'll be able to access them right here at stokecityfc.com

What we do know already is that the season begins on Saturday 16th August and all of the teams competing in the Premier League have been confirmed, with Hull City completing the list following their 1-0 victory over Bristol City at Wembley over the weekend.

Over the past week, we have been asking you the supporters, who you want to see the Potters come up against on that eagerly anticipated opening weekend of the Premier League season.

Here are a selection of your choices:

"I would like us to get one of the big teams away, so that Sky put it on tv and move it to Sunday or Monday.

"I booked my wedding in April 2005 for 16th August 2008 which is always going to be more important, but I could never have predicted that this would happen.

"Also if we start away, the chances increase that I'll only miss 1 home game before I return from honeymoon."

Ian Pimlott

"We want west brom at home, we always beat west brom, so that could put us top of the table for the first week. How good would that be."

Danny

"I personally loved taking my little brother to see stoke for the first time against Newcastle united this season, if we could have fireworks and those red and white stripes in the stand again that would look excellent."

Josh Daley

"I would love to get Spurs at home as my brother-in-law is a life-long supporter.
 
"It would be wonderful for us to start off with three points against the Londoners!"
 
Pam Jones
 
 

"I want Manchester United away, because it means i dont have to go to a wedding that cleary shouldnt be during the football season."

Roy Millward
