The CW did announce the new season starts on Sept. 1st, BUT they specifically said the Thursday night line-up would start "later in the season". :( (It's impossible at this point for SPN to start that early - the shows starting early began filming weeks before SPN did.)
Sept. 18th is the date TV Guide is listing, which possibly makes it the most believable. (And Oct. 2nd is *NOT* a legit date - it's only thefutoncritic.com's placeholder date for the show on that site [the owner of the site has told me as much - they're just his estimates/guesses based on last year if it says "projected" - doesn't mean anything], and people believe it's the actual date or something.)
