Most memorable opening day of the season.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

It doesnt have to have been a fantastic game, just the day that really sticks in the memory perhaps because you were a certain age.

For me, it was watching our first ever game in the third division at Chesterfield. I was 13 years old, Saltergate was rammed to capacity and there were Villa fans everywhere.

You realised that we were very big fish in a small pool, and the next two years never ceased to be amazing and exciting.

1995, "you'll never win anything with kids".

1993-94 vs QPR at home, 4-1, four stunning goals and QPR's wasnt bad either. Baking hot sunshine, great debut from Andy Townsend and the belief going home that we could win the league that season. Ahem. The league cup as it turned out!

[Yossarian]

Yep the Man Utd one for me too.

[Dave Cooper please]

I'll annoy a few and do a Tamworth one!

2002/3 and a 3-0 win at Havant and Waterlooville, it was such a stroll in the sunshine that I just knew that we were going up that season.

Upper tier front row seats for that one. Was the first game that came to my mind too - what a day that was!

yup

[Holte L2]

For me, 1995, Villa 3 Man Utd 1.

I'll always remember Savo running to the Holte with his bandanna on, taking it off and throwing it at the crown. Only for it to land apart five yards infront.

Should have known at that point, it was the sign of things to come

Yes. Moreso because my brother and I missed a coach to the game and drove up instead.

The coach (and two others) was subsequently turned away by South Yorkshire police and escorted back to Brum during the game.

[cdbearsfan]

Probaly the Wednesday game, but as I was on holiday and didn't attend I'll go for ManUre 95-96 instead.

Away Sheff Wed 1991

Big Ron back at his old club, a hostile reception like you've never seen.

Beelzebub as their manager.

2-0 down and on the ropes.

Win 3-2, marvellous. What a great day.
