Favourite opening day matches and memories?

[RayCTID]

Pearce scored a free kick if memory serves me adequately.

Berkovic's debut was something else. That set the tone for the rest of the season.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Now I may have got so much wrong here. First game? First home game ? 72 73 season definitely. 2 0 ? Win definitely. Spurs ?. What do I certainly remember, got the bus from the coast to Mosely St. Had a shed full of beer in Britain's Protection, a pie and chips dinner in the caff next door. More beer in the Parkside really enjoyed the match before heading home for more drink in a local pub. Robbed a Union Jack from a nearby amusements on the way home saw some service at Maine Rd and England internationals. 16 years old 50 years ago in a couple of weeks. Anyone fill in my memory gaps in what was a happy day of underage drinking and youthful stupidity. First up not the last time I was sick on drink.

Blackburn away in the black kit. Barry, Adebayor and Tevez debuts.

Brilliant day that

QPR home early 90’s. Lakey’s comeback game. Such anticipation only to be shattered in the next game.

My lads first Premier League game was 2002. 1st home game was against Newcastle which we won 1-0. Think it was Sylvan Distin's home debut and iirc we got him from Newcastle, but I remember thinking he was an absolute Rolls Royce of a centre back.

As a 9 year old I was hyped for our first division 1 game I could remember.

Not sure I’ll ever have the build up to that game ever again, but we lost at the dippers 3-1.

QPR first live Monday night SKY match.

Paul Lakes return, the worst ever cover/miming of Baker Street, parachutes, dancing girls and an Andy Sinton rocket.

Here's one for the memory bank....

e slowestLeicester away 1976/77. Drew 2-2.

Roasting day and thousands of excited Blues turned up: Someone even tried to set the embankment alight on the way to thTh

12 at the time . Remember walking passed a boozer on the way to the ground with our kid and hearing the slowest and most pissed up walk on i`ve ever heard in my life ! We were in that little corner section for away fans and it was packed . Thr guys on the gate were accepting cash and allowing fans to jib over the turnstile . Remember we had a good following over in the opposite corner in the standing paddock .

 

[Blue Boy 63]

Think it was the first game of the season . The evening game vrs Leicester at home and Barney Daniels got a few . We were front row in the North stand that night . Sure we won 3-1 .

As cringeworthy as I remember it. Great shots of the Kippax though.
