Favourite opening day matches and memories?

I liked the first home game under McNeill, 2-0 v Palace?
Parlane with a very classy side foot finish and I think Tolmie also scored?
Skint as fuck but I knew we would at least be competitive
 
The day we made Agbonlahor look like prime Thierry Henry
Ended up with Ched Evans starting at centre forward after Bojinov went down in the warm up
Think Corluka scored his only goal for us late on then was promptly sold to Spurs to help pay the wages.
Those were the days my friend....
Poor old Bojinov...he looked a great player as well.could have been a legend for us.....maybe.
 
Derby County away 79 drew 1-1 I remember saying to my dad why is everyone laughing at the end of those songs about Tommy doc?
I was at this match. Came home a day early from a Devon holiday in order to go. Funny how you can pinpoint where you were 43yrs ago just by who City had played.
 
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!
 
Home to blackpool, 1998, first game in division 2. Sunny day and everyone was surprised to see a full house. Won 3-0 and surely we were going to storm to the league title.
Yes I live in a small market town in Lancashire and my friend & I were invited to travel on a coach organised by Blackpool fans .....two city fans 40 odd Blackpool fans sat at the back singing city songs all the way home!!
 
Kinkladzes debut v Spurs...I though we had the makings of a magician, think we lost 1-0 but he'd shown enough glimpses to me th think we're onto something...fukin City...fukin Franny!
