Following the release of the 2017/18 EFL fixtures, bwfc.co.uk casts an eye over the 23 Sky Bet Championship stadiums Wanderers will be visiting during the upcoming campaign.
As Phil Parkinson’s men prepare to return to English football’s second tier after just a solitary year away, 2017/18 will see Whites supporters making a number of familiar journeys alongside a handful which they have not made quite so often in recent years.
