What's been your favourite opening day game with the City?

Its tough but I'm gonna say West Ham away 2010 I think it was?

Miller scores in the 90th minute.

We've had some decent ones down the years, West Ham is definitely up there but Rotherham our first game back in division 1/championship stands out for me the most. The buzz was amazing, I remember the heat being ridiculous aswell, must be the hottest temperature I've ever witnessed at a football match. Game finished 0-0 but felt like we'd hit the big time.

Going back a bit, but Charlton away 76/77. First game back in division two. Won 2-0, if I remember right, Derek Showers got both goals. Decent away support in the massive old Valley. Then we lost at home to Bristol Rovers next game!

Oldham away opening game 02/03 season was a great trip.

I also remember first league game at the CCS we put 4 past someone with McCormack on the wing and bothroyd and chops up front. We were lethal.

West ham 2011 as mentioned was a good one as we expected to lose that day yet knicked a winner right at the end.

Cardiff 4-0 Scunthorpe. Then we beat Bristol City 3-0 the next home game, when Chopra did the "too hot to touch" celebration with his boots :ayatollah:
