6 years ago today we beat Blackburn 2-1 on the opening day in League One. How much has changed in such a short time period.

Dread to think what that pitch will be like after the very little preparation it's had.

 

[CRATE]

Just like to say, good luck to the players, Kev and the staff! A massive shout out to TL for being one of the driving forces all summer to get this on! Bloke deserves a knighthood or the keys to the city!

I’ll be @ RM house!

 

[MisterStubbs]

After a summer of uncertainty it’s great to finally be able to cheer on the boys (albeit from afar) in a meaningful game of football. Just want to wish Kev, his staff and all the players all the very best not just for today but for the months to come.

 

[Dutch Branch]

The squad we’ve got isn’t to bad really, just lacking match fitness. Might have to park the bus last 20

Did you misread 'agility' as 'ability'?

Clearly lol ...

 

[Holy Joe]

Forecast is for a couple of downpours one before kick off and one around half time.


Wind from the south so hopefully front row of South upper will be dry?
