Swedging Posted 9 February 2006 Share Posted 9 February 2006 First match of the season, in the roasting August heat where it looks like there's everything to play for, you've had too long away and you're full of anticipation. And then, there's the night-time derby in freezing winter where grim reality has set in. But it's at night, so the walk to the ground still seems more exciting, and the last step into the stadium is magical - from darkness to light. And it's a derby, so the atmosphere gets you tingling as you walk towards the stadium, let alone when you walk into the inferno. And this time, it really counts. BRING IT ON!

Libertine Posted 9 February 2006 Share Posted 9 February 2006 Definately. Both of those games are brilliant. I especially love the first game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr The Singh Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Yeh I love the first game of the season when everyone has there colours on show Agreed, but I took my Mrs to her first match which was against Bolton, first game of the season (2001) at he city ground where we were 4 -0 down at half time!! She never lets me live that one down!! Plus I was singin dennis wise's praise, she doesn't let me live that one down either. Being a city fan can be painful at times!!!

werestandingup_weresittingdown Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 surely the last game of the season gets a mention. Always great turnouts, especially if away from home. Usually fantastic weather, lots of beers, party atmosphere, lap of honour from players. Always a great day in any season imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1884 Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 1st home game of the season is my favourite. I also like Boxing day games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor game and little atmosphere; then had to travel home on my own for a further five hours. Still, better than lying in bed all day with a hang-over.

Guest Gist Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Yeh I went there I know the players did the lap of the pitch at home but they could have shown some sort of appreciation to those that treked down to plymouth for a nothing game at the end they just gave a little clap and went in.

The Reverend Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 I love the first game of the season and the last couple have been at home so even better. It just feels as though you've been away for so long- a great day, which is made better if we win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNQ Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 I love the first game of the season and the last couple have been at home so even better. It just feels as though you've been away for so long- a great day, which is made better if we win! Such as the first game at the Walkers against Watford. Good win, full house, great atmosphere and real hope for the future. Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
