This threads been done before but still interesting. How about adding 1st away game to it as well.
1st home game :- Ipswich 82.
1st away game :- Sheff Wed (semi final) 83.

 

[Gwylan]

1st home game v Walsall. Jan '67 lost 3-2
ist away game v Hereford March '76 drew 1-1.

Wardy's first game!!!

 

[chez]

Only 3 at the time, but am I right in thinking that he scored & the highlights were on Match Of The Day.?

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

97/98 sometime v Hull at Gillingham. I'm a newbie

1st away was against Gillingham (strangely) in the League Cup 99/00-ish

 

[Citrus]

First away game, Barnet in 1999 or 2000, won 1-0.

 

[JAMC]

First away game, Barnet in 1999 or 2000, won 1-0.

Ahh, I remember that game I think. Pissed it down all game & we won with a goal from Emeka Iffyjiagwa.

First home game:

22/3/75 - Cardiff City 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0

First away game:

30/8/75 - Brighton & Hove Albion 0 Cardiff City 1

 

[Zeitgeist]

First home game. Gillingham 1969/70 won 3-1. I still have the program to this day. Their goalkeeper was one Derek Bellotti!!! As a naive nipper, little did I know the significance of the opponents and the goalkeepers name would be in later years!

First away game. Chesterfield 1977. Final game of the season, which saw us gain promotion to the old second division & the start of the Goldstone glory years.

1st Home: Coventry City 1983, Terry Connor the scorer...
1st Away: The Play Off Final in 1991

He did indeed, within 50 seconds. And the highlights were on MOTD.

great first game, eh?

1st game:

Reading vs Man Utd at Elm Park. Score 0-3 - 1996
Cantona got coined throughout and made and we ended up getting bollocked by the FA.

Goalscorers Cantona, Giggs, and Paul Parker.. who lived next door to my mate in Reading while playing for QPR. Spooky.

 

[elbowpatches]

Home - against Man City 1988, won 2-1 North Stand went mad, great day, the infamous ball boy heading the ball into the crowd to waste time day.

Away - against Charlton 1991, bit daunting as a kid when Charlton fans chucked stuff over the fence but another 2-1 win!!

Goalscorers Cantona, Giggs, and Paul Parker.. who lived next door to my mate in Reading while playing for QPR. Spooky.

The guy who scored City's winner at the Goldstone in 75 (my first away game) now lives just a couple of miles away from me, works for DHL as a driver, and regularly delivers packages to my office. Even spookier!

 

[Seagull Stew]

First home game: Boxing Day 1982, a 1-0 home defeat by Southampton (Danny Wallace).
First Away: FA Cup Semi v Sheff Wed at Highbury 1983.
