Fixture release day is always one fans look forward too - and for Nottingham Forest fans there is only one opponent you look for first.
Come 9am on Thursday, I guarantee I'll scan through the list for the games against Derby County.
It's the fixture the supporters look for first and I would imagine it is the one every player finds straight away too, when the fixtures come out.
It's such a great rivalry and both teams will have promotion ambitions again next season, so they should be enthralling affairs.
Beyond Derby, it's a case of looking for the sides who have just come down from the Premier League.
After that you look for other clubs in the Midlands. To be honest, the Derby games are the ones though - and by some margin.
It is not long before Forest's players report for pre-season training. Martin O'Neill has got them back in two weeks earlier than in recent years, so the preparation should certainly be there for next season.
He'll quickly find out which players are in shape and which ones aren't. They're going to play nine friendlies, which might seem plenty, but games are better than training.
I'm not surprised to see they're playing that many friendlies and don't forget, every player isn't going to play in every game.
It's a good build-up and he'll have enough chance to know his best starting XI for the first competitive game of the season.
It's a massively bloated squad as it stands. Martin might want to have a look at a good number of players in pre-season, although it's more likely he's pretty much made his mind up about everyone after switching his team around a fair bit at the end of last season.
