StDunko Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 and shockingly I seem to remember this was the first time since 1986! I seem to remember going up to Bramall Lane and seeing us beat Shef Utd 2-0 on the first day of the season, early 90's perhaps. Or perhaps that was just the first away match of the season.

Junction 9 Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 I remember the West ham 4-0 game. I was in the Archers with the hammers lot, went in the wrong turnstile. "You came" by Kim Wilde played at half time over the PA system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyeddie Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Remember QPR Game as I was stood on the Archers Terrace, Remember West Ham Game as I was half way across the Atlantic, and the Virgin Pilot got all the scores on the radio, and I remember the Coventry game, as I was sat in a bar in Ibiza. 3 wins over 25 seasons is cack. It will be 4 wins on Saturday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Is the QPR game in 86 the last one that we won apart from Coventry...so that's 1 win in 25 yrs!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMidfieldGeneral Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 I remember walking up to town after the QPR game and the goon who used to sell THE MILITANT by the information bureau was Shouting "Get the paper Colin Clarke reads" :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud mark of doom Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Is the QPR game in 86 the last one that we won apart from Coventry...so that's 1 win in 25 yrs!??? I think it might be one since 88. And nearly always we have played the first game at home too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFSFC Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Norwich lost last season... As did we... both got promoted. I'd take a 4-0 defeat and finish r up all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 1988 we beat West Ham 4-0 on the opening day of the season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 I expect if you looked at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th game of the season over the same period of time we have not won to many of them either. Lets face it we have been pretty naff for a few years until the last couple of years and 2003/2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
