Favourite opening day matches and memories?

This is my most memorable
It was first time I had a season ticket (North Stand)
Nice sunny day very late August
Steve Mackenzie who was my favourite player was playing for WBA so it was a bit weird
Because of the previous season there was quite a lot of expectation
It all went to shit in the new year and then there was 82/83......

Absolutely loved playing West Brom when they played in that kit....Was mind blowing them days seeing a keeper in a red jersey.
Definitely one of the iconic kits that from the baggies, until the rags stole it for their "cause".
 
Coventry away. We won 1-0. Keith Curle's debut after we bought him for £2.5m from Wimbledon (the country's most expensive defender at the time. One group had a banner hanging out of a car window saying Keith Who?

He was up against Kevin Gallacher, who was rapid, but Curle was quicker and class.
Great day!

Blackburn away with Adebayor. We looked a team!
Great memory for me, first visit to Highfield Road
 
Leicester away at the old Filbert Street in 76 in think . A 2-2 draw and the most pissed up walk on i`ve ever heard as we passed a pub packed with blues . Packed into that little corner section Leicester had for away fans back then , with probably double the capacity as for everyone counted through the turnstile at least another paid and went over . Myself included . Also i remember hundreds of blues packed in swaying in the standing paddock in the opposite corner . Great day as a 12 year old .
