North London Red Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hopefully playing the favourites for the title on the opening day is a good omen. In each of our last 2 promotion seasons, the team we played on the opening day were also promoted (Grimsby in August 1997, S****horpe in August 2006). Edit: at the risk of going off topic, the 97-98 play offs (which Grimsby won, as noted above) featured one of my favourite ever Rovers defeats - they let a 3-1 first leg lead slip at Northampton (at one point they were 3-0 up). I remember Holloway was spitting feathers after that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 One that I don't think's been mentioned (even by 22A!) was the opener with Oxford following the '98 promotion. It was played in glorious sunshine, we'd just splashed the cash on Thorpe and Akinbyi and Soren Anderson secured us an entertaining 2-2 draw. Then we watched on in horror as the Sean Dyche/Julian Watts defensive pairing shrivelled, we were routinely beaten and there was even time for a cheeky mascot fight!
