What's your best memory of an opening game.
QPR away was special but was not at that one.
I think mine is Tramnere home first league game at the Liberty. |  |

Hard to beat the QPR game, they had smashed us a couple of times before that and to be honest was expecting another one! | | | |

Bury at Home in 03/04 was a good un. The season after the great escape and we started like a train before the lack of fitness/professionalism told. |  |

beating united at old traffod in front of the whole footballing world as we were the first game of the season, being an early kick off.
Just remind yourself of that fact, 'little' old Swansea from the dark days rising through the footballing ranks to beat the once was footballing giant Manchester United at their own gaff in the premier league infront of everyone to see.
May not be significant to some but what a journey, and also a fabulous way to start the season. [Post edited 2 Aug 2017 21:18]

Leeds Utd when we won 5-1 after so many years we had finally made it to division 1 . After being told the same story by so many that if we had bought a centre half when kiley broke his leg we would have made it years before. Tremendous game brilliant weather and unbelievable atmosphere. The city centre was buzzing from 9 in the morning . | | | |

Wasn't that game a hat trick by our new winger Brad Maylett? |  |

Oldham away in '07 I think it was. We lost 2-1, but you just knew that if we continued playing like that, we were going to do pretty well. | |

Seconded. One of the most enjoyable losses I've ever been at.
We took a great crowd with us and the likes of Bodde, Scotland and Rangel especially were a revelation, as was the football we played. |  |

I remember walking out at the end (with the legend that is Perchie) wondering how we lost. What made it for me was an Oldham fan on his mobile talking to his wife
"Hi Love, on way back. We go absolutely battered. No love, we won 2-1"
Not my favourite- Stockport (87/88) was a fun day for me. | | | |

Stockport was a fun day for me as well ...... Did we lose 5 nil ?
The local landlord was not to happy when football was played in his boozer.
Great days ........ | | | |

No -we won 2-0.
I remember nothing of the actual game apart from eating a cheeseburger and then everyone spooking GMP's horses outside.
The six pints I had in Altrincham may have been an influence on this | | | |

This all day.
Came away from that game and thought wow! I have just seen the Swans play in a style I have never seen before. It was truly a revelation. We carry on like that I thought and we will smash this league. Which we did. As I've said before on this game, stuck £50ew post match on us to win the league at 20/1. Only Leeds and the whole pts deduction stopped me being paid out over a grand sooner than I was. Yes, Oldham away. If you were there you'd never forget it. |  |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

Another vote for Oldham away.
Jason Scotland Scored a lovely goal after a neat turn, Tate conceded a penalty late on to the head slapper Craig Davies.
But yes, it was an almost brand new team, new style and new direction.
Swansea: de Vries, Tate, Bodde, Britton, Pratley, Scotland, Duffy, Painter, Lawrence, Robinson, Rangel.
That midfield trio were devestating and all complemented each other. | | | |
