I recall our first game was there when we finally got back to the championship. Rotherham were a good Championship club then and I was delighted we got a 0-0 draw there. It was a really hot day where us supporters had to drink loads of water so God knows what it was like for the players then.

our next game was home to Bradford which we lost 2-0 then away to Forest which we won 2-1 scoring 2 goals in the first 7 minutes. this is nothing to do with the thread but wanted to get that in.
