kachina Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I remember going to a game I think against S****horpe and we won 1-0 I think, enjoyed that game and thought it was an opening game of a season but looking at the above it can't have been. All I could remember was Enoch Showumni scoring and everyone in the Ateyo around me thinking he was gonna go on and be our next super striker. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted August 6, 2014 Report 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!

Hmm It was the opening game of our 2006-07 promotion season (Scunny were also promoted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Portsmouth 92/93? 3-3 draw, Whittingham Hatrick versus Cole & Jacki running riot.All kicked off with chairs being chucked from Dolman stand onto the open end? That would be my choice. Bloody loved watching those two, as short as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Home to Bristol rovers (they were a league club in the early 1960s) we ran out winners 3-0. I think Atyeo Clark and Derrick scored or was it Hooper? Long time ago I know but what a way to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_South_End Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Millwall has to be up there with the worst, I think everyone was expecting us to just turn out, wipe the floor with them then go home. This is BCFC so it obviously didn't work like that First game I had a season ticket for. Still have one now amazingly considering our form since then! Yet to see a decent opening game though.

WayOutWest Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Anyone remember the away game at Southend in the early 90's- pretty sure it was an opening fixture. Was a boiling hot august day and city everywhere along sarfend front. Get to the ground, onto the terrace( which was already cramped) and if my memory serves me right the turnstile/gates were forced open by the mass of city still trying to get in. I remember thinking that a hill borough situation could well happen. I do. I also remember a group of us joining some wedding pictures as a couple got married. Good days out.

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I do. I also remember a group of us joining some wedding pictures as a couple got married. Good days out. I remember the wedding well and posted about it earlier. Not exactly the highlight of the day, but never to be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
