I can remember most recently the 5-0 drumming of Blackpool, but what are your memories on the first game of the season?

Always expect a great atmsophere, but have to say it rarely is

Derby away 1975/75 season - we walloped the then champions 5 v 1 we were 5 nil up at one stage what a season !

West Ham away 1987/88 .

Jim Smith's new sweeper system. Gave debuts to Paul Parker, Dean Coney, Mark Dennis and Kevin Brock - we absolutely creamed them. 3-0 inside 20 minutes with Bannister, Brock and an oggy getting the goals. Best opening day performance I can remember as it came completely out of the blue.

Away at Old Trafford a couple of times, once in the 80's when they confronted us by the cricket ground and the OB had a go at us for being there in the first place and again in the 90's when a young kid called Gallen scored but it wasn't counted.

Blackpool, Arsenal away first game of 91 - 92 season i remember (dont know why), boiling hot and it finished 1-1.

Seem to remember that game as Gerrys first game in charge, played very well and loads of Rangers in the clock end which I have to say was my favourite away end of the time

Last season at home to Barnsley was pretty dire.
